Where can I find cheaper Buprenex injections for my pet's pain?

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! In the US we do not charge to write prescriptions (as far as I know). The laws in the UK must be different. Robenacoxib are prescription so there is no way to get the drug with out your Vet approving the prescription, My suggestion is to ask for a larger supply, 3 months or more with refills. That way you do not have to pay the prescription fee that often. I hope this helps and have a great day!

You can find this product at any of the online veterinary pharmacies. In order to find the best value I would recommend going on goodrx.com. On this website you will be able to type in the medication and dose and it will provide you with coupon codes and the location of where you need to obtain the product. Regardless of what site you use you will still need to obtain a prescription from your veterinarian. I always caution my clients when they are planning to purchase these types of products from pharmacies of unknown origin as we cannot be certain how the drugs are being stored and what source they are obtaining the drugs from. Do your due diligence before deciding on which place to use. I have had relatively good experiences with Valley Vet Supply.

We don't sell prescription drugs here since we are only a consulting forum. However, if you want to do comparison prices for drugs then the best resource is https://www.goodrx.com OR calling the pharmacy of your choosing directly. I wish you all the best and hope that you can find an affordable price for your pets medication. Take care!

Unfortunately there are no over the counter pain medications that are safe for dogs. I would recommend discussing with your veterinarian if there is something you can switch him to that is more cost effective and still approved for use in dogs. You can also check into online pharmacies or box stores (such as Costco) that offer pet medications at a lower price.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Boo. The dose for cats can be up to 1mg/kg. 1mg/kg equals 0.001mg/l, or 1mg/ml. Based on this, he could have up to 4.8ml, so this is within the dose. I hope this helps!

With pain relief medication the goal is to use as needed. So if you believe Roman is in pain or uncomfortable it is good to give him the medication, but you do not have to finish a course like with antibiotics. I would continue the buprenex as long as you feel that Roman is still in pain, and also the packaging label from the veterinarian who prescribed the pills should indicate how many days he believes Roman should take the pills. Bladder inflammation can take days to weeks to calm down so h may need the pills for longer. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

This represents a pretty substantial overdose. Corbett got about 2.5 times more than the highest published dose for pain relief. However, it's thought that buprenorphine has a high index of safety, and even large overdoses don't usually cause serious effects. I'm assuming you gave it on the gums ("transmucousally") as that's how it's typically prescribed for pain relief at home in cats. Because of that method of administration, there's no way to remove the drug from his system by inducing vomiting. There is a reversal agent that is somewhat effective, but may have to be given in multiple doses due to the way buprenorphine works. The drug is naloxone, and your veterinarian should have this drug. Because the signs of overdose can be concerning (vocalization, ataxia, hypersalivation, decreased body temperature, and lethargy) my best recommendation would be for you to take Corbett back to your veterinarian for administration of this drug, so that the overdosage can be averted.
