cushings and pergolide

[ickelshadow]

can anyone suggest where i may be able to sell the pergolide that i had for my pony and no longer need? i cant obviously give it back to the vet ...

I'm afraid that pergolide is a prescripion only medicine and it is illegal for you to offer it for sale. Are the packets unopened? Have you approached your vet to see whether they would take them back and refund?

thought it might be the case - to be honest, i took them on from a friend who's cushing pony died, and i just had a test done on mine (to check whether i should up the dosage or any developments/deterioration), and she doesn't actually have cushings! so i'm stuck with about 230 tablets and now know no-one with cushings! i used to know 3, but they've all died in tha last year

so essentially, the vet wont want them ot refund as i didnt get this batch off him...

Why don't you get in touch with one of the equine charities, as long as they are within their use by date they may take them.

canlt you get the friend to take them back to the vet who prescribed them in the first place?

well she bought them online with a prescription, but i think as they are prescription drugs, you probably cant return them.

but i've gone with the suggestion above - i CAN NOT believe i didn't think of that! i've been sponsoring veteran horse society for about 4 years now with monthly contributions - how dumb am i to not think of it!!!
