Hi there. Legally, a veterinarian has to examine the pet in person and establish a VCPR (veterinarian-client-patient-relationship) in order to prescribe medication - so this is not something that can be done over the internet. You will need to take Daisy to a veterinarian in your area for an exam in order to get a prescription.
As far as whether there is a charge to write the prescription, this would be very unusual in my experience - in most cases, the only cost should be the exam fee. If you're concerned about this, you can always call the clinic beforehand and ask.
