As to my usual caveat.... if they can think of a way, they are thinking of it. unfortunately. I think of the (expletive) vet who turned in her client because she thought it should have been killed because it was old and ill, and they took the dog home to die in their arms..... their choice.

(And believe me, I did and would). There have now been multiple citations and court judgements for people using very good alternatives for their dogs, but not vet prescribed. My suggestion would be to get a vet's note (?Px?) for the alternative meds. This is not a nice world out there at times.
