Critical Care

Can you buy it at the Pet Shop or is it on prescription?

I bought mine online from The hay experts

:wave: Some pet practices have it in, but it is expensive. You don't need a prescription. Okay if you need some NOW. Have never seen it in any shops. I am getting mine on line for just over £8 for 141g. Think this is just about the cheapest. Would be interested to know if you find it any cheaper.

I normally get it from my vets - but not on prescription. I just ask my vets for some and they normally give me a huge bag and lots of syringes.

Last time I got some I saved a couple of sachets with long dates for just in case. I would maybe try ringing round vets someone might offer you advice where to get some.

Why do animals always need stuff on Sundays and out of hours

I used to buy mine online from ebay, as you can compare lots of prices then. You don't need a prescription but it is a lot more expensive buying from a vets, and you normally have to give them some notice, as if you go in when they haven't got much, they won't sell it to you then, because they will need to keep it for their own inpatients. When I struggled to get some once for a few days, I bought some excel because the pellets are small, soaked them, and then liquidised them, and was able to syringe feed that until I could get the CC. You just have to add in quite a bit of water, but it was better than nothing.

The emergency vet told me to do this once, to avoid having to pay emergency vets fees to just get a packet of CC. It worked reasonably well, but was quite hard to syringe as it was quite thick. However, it's better than nothing!

I got mine from vetsuk, I find the fine blend is easier to syring.
