Just out of curiosity, what does that entail? You hear of stories of people getting it from vets, but other than maybe having a pre-existing relationship because of other pets, how does that even work? Its funny, I've had this discussion with our vet, he was unaware of the this off label use for redbugs. We have 2 Goldens and a cat so we are at the vet at least a few times a year.
If you do end up writing a script for it, do you just charge a consultation fee and that constitutes the relationship, and a little for you for your services? Any liability from a medical legal standpoint? Is the script legit as far as instructions? Again, just curious here. I would be hesitant to prescribe a medication for anything other than its intended purpose, no matter how many internet articles someone brings me:worried:
Anyone on here have some oxycodone laying around?
LOL! J/K of course
LOL, pushing buttons could be dangerous

The Bayer, it's off the shelf at Home Depot
That's correct. And honestly this is your best course of action since again INTERCEPTOR is no longer being manufactured in the USA. So no us veterinarian can rx legally interceptor since it's not legally made in the USA.

Too many variables to answer here.
Bottom line
No interceptor in the US
No legal way a licensed vet who wants to keep his status with the Board Of Vet Medicine will rx interceptor.

Ok fine, substitute sentinel or interceptor spectrum into the equation, what's the answer now? I know interceptor is not available, it's been some time. Still curious about getting rx for off label use. Not being an arse, I am legitimately curious. FWIW, I got a Spectrum from one of those Canadian sites. It works very well. I know this is always a touchy topic. Thanks for the discussion.

As long as your vet has a valid client patient relationship BY law he can't deny writing you a prescription.
As veterinarians you have the ability to use any drug as extra label as long as there are no other drugs labeled for the use in question available.
Now as far as charges....every vet is diff. So can't answer that one.

Does fishy pets fall into the scope of practice of vets? I had a young patient just out of vet school the other day and I asked her that. She said you don't get much of it, but you can pursue it further as an elective the way I understood it. Anyway, I still don't know how people can get a vet to prescribe something the vet had had no exposure to and is not familiar with. Kinda like me prescribing Viagra. If anything I'm on your side DoggyDoc, so I'm not trying to be a PITA.
I wonder why there hasn't been a hobby grade substitute pursued. I guess at the end of the day the red tape is too thick, the pockets not deep enough, and the small lot of those of us that call ourself reefers just does not have the pull. At the end of the day, it's not like you can get high on the stuff......or can you?
