Buying meds/nebuliser online

So another thread today mentioned buying metacam online.

I was wondering how many people buy metacam, bisolven and other meds online and where you get them from? Is this safe/legal? Is it significantly cheaper?
I was also wondering where the best place is to get a decent nebuliser. How do we know it's good? What do you use? We'd be willing to spend a reasonable amount on it as we'd only want to buy ONE in Foxie's lifetime so it'd have to be good (if we decide we need one, and we're getting to that point ).

Thanks!

Thanks for your quick reply!

My vet said the best nebulisers are £100-£150 so that one seems really cheap? Do you have it?

i have the omron c28 nebuliser aswell.

i buy all meds from the vets though. i feel better doing it that way and it doesn't work out much more once you pay for the prescriptions. :wave:

This one works perfectly well :wave: Personally I would try a cheaper one first, to see if s/he gets along with it - as I found that with Stanley, the stress of being nebulised did far more damage than him having a snotty nose did!

Thanks very much
All advice is greatly appreciated! I don't know what's best, so I'm just trying to work it all out We are picking up a prescription from the vets tomorrow and he is back in for a check up in a week and a half. So I will ask then how much the vet thinks he's improved as we are doing things now.

This is what I have.

Also my vets charge me £30 for 30ml of Metacam. They charge me £5 for a written prescription and I buy 180ml of Metacam from VetUK for £20 and £2 postage, so much cheaper. :wave:
