16. We buy colchicine from Canada online

We need colchicine for one of our shar pei, as a maintenance drug, and changes in its status here made it go from easy to afford to unaffordable in one easy step. Now we get it from an online pharmacy in Canada now for less than what we were paying here before the change. It's been fine. We have to make sure we order well ahead, but I don't think that applies nearly as much if you're ordering from an online site here in the US.

As far as I know, I will just order the med and the company will contact my vet. demmiblue Nov 2012 #5
