If it is a new occurrence then yes, we will need to examine your pet. The most important concern is your pet’s welfare therefore an examination is necessary in determining the best path and treatment for your pet. Most drugs have legal restrictions on their supply and a consultation is be required by law before they can be dispensed. If your pet has a reoccurring problem and is seen regularly, no longer than a 6 month period between consultations, then under most circumstances we are able to rescript the appropriate medications. To save yourself time and to prevent misunderstandings please phone with your request before coming to the clinic.
