Well, it's really up to you man. Either you press on with the docs, or just cut your losses and try to .. self-treat, basically. It's a shame when it comes to that I know, it's a sign the healthcare system has let us down (or we're hypochondriacs haha, but I think we both know there's far more to it than that :) ).
I mean if you were to get meds from a trusted online pharmacy then you would know they were as safe as any from the docs. Animal meds are really just to save cash for the most part...
Hoppi :)
