Can this be right???

Marlin has started taking Adequan injections. Someone -- I think here on PT! -- suggested I look into buying it on line and giving him the shots myself. So we went in for the 2d shot today and I asked about this, my vet said she has no problem with giving me a script and selling me the injections, letting me do the shots here at home. I got this info:

Marlin gets .4 mil per shot. That is POINT 4 ml per shot. Vial is 5 ml. One shot visit is $38.

So my math says the vial is 12 shots, and will cost me $475. which is 12 to 14 months.

But I can buy the vial on line for $47!!! OK, so I need the syringes, but those aren't very costly.

Can someone check my math? Is this TRUE? OMG I will go get it on line immediately! WOW!

If it is right, run don't walk!
That's a huge price difference.

Yup, I ordered it and sent in the prescription!

So he gets 4ml/shot and the bottle holds 5ml? That leaves you with a difference of only 1ml per bottle left over. Is there a digit missing somewhere? or maybe my mind just isn't working correctly tonight.

You missed a decimal point. Marlin takes POINT 4 ml per shot -- .4ml per shot. I can get 12 shots out of the one 5 ml vial, and then there is a wee bit over I think.

See? I knew my eyes weren't working last night, lol. Sounds like a great deal! I say go for it!
