Guest guest Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Jen, I am a holistic dog breeder and yes, there is a website where you can order fish stuff. Also, I took an animal wormer once but didn't see any results from it. I am sure I had parasites. The website is petsupplies4less.com My website, if you want to learn about holistic pet care, is www.buttercuppuppies.com jo > > I've been reading the parasite thread, as I realized a few months ago that both my son and I have them. My son has probably had them all his life. Me, from my symptoms, I'd say at least a year before I realized. > > I don't know if I got them from my son, the dog, swimming at our community pool, or eating something that was contaminated. It is pretty scary to not know what to avoid. > > I was able to get Biltricide from this fabulous physician's assistant who has no idea why I ask for the things I ask for, but trusts me as she has watched my son improve. The thing is, it was 60 per perscription (we needed 2) and $30 copay for the visit. It did work, but a month later, I was broke and did not follow up with the 30 day later/ get the eggs that hatched thing. > > I can afford it now, but am wondering if I should shell out bigger bucks and find an experienced physician (with autism/PANDAS as well), continue to use this nice lady who will give me what I want but really is supposed to be handling mental health issues, not medical, or ......has anyone noticed that you can buy generic flagyl, bilticide and nizoral for fish or dogs over the counter at PetSmart? It wouldn't be much cheaper because there is no insurance for pet meds, but I could skip the PA visit with the awkward discussion, copay, and limited amout of meds given with the Rx. Feel free to tell me that I have completely gone offthe deep end, as even I am aware of it. I blame the parasites... > Jen > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 lol...Jen, I've come across boards that discuss buying pet meds for human use. (Oddly enough, I believe I stumbled into it when I was looking into buying meds from Canada and a couple of the sites were related to body-building(????) Apparently, more than a few people do it. The argument against it seems to be "It will not be the same grade or quality" produced for humans...the counter arguement to that would be: "Would a manufacturer really go out of its way to spend time and money degrading a product already made?" (From what I remember, often you will find it's the same producer for both human and animal consumers.) As for me, I really think it would depend on what I was buying. If it was a single ingredient, natural product from the earth or ocean, I probably would. But if it was something synthetic, I'm not so sure. Then again, nutritional and safety laws for pets and animals are probably more strict than they are for humans...lol. I suppose it's also a matter of how well you know the product you're using. For curiosity's sake, you could compare inserts from the rx and otc and see what that yields. It would be interesting to see at the very least. I love this group, there is no stone left unturned and there is always somebody here with a "been there, done that" experience to share : ) -tammy To: mb12 valtrex Sent: Fri, March 4, 2011 8:06:04 AMSubject: pet meds I've been reading the parasite thread, as I realized a few months ago that both my son and I have them.
