I buy my amoxicillin, ampicillin, tetracycline, etc. at the local feed store.

It's for my livestock, you understand.

Ditto on the antibiotics. There is not much that does not cross over either. God bless the farm supply.

The only annoyance is when cutting those large oblets in half, then quaters, the sharp angles make the pill snag in your throat. I now just crush em and put it in an empty capsule instead.

The problem with this is that antibiotics are already way over perscribed. This is exascerbated in countries like Mexico and other 3rd world nations who don't require perscriptions for them. We are creating super-germs that are becomming ammune to antibotics and soon we will have no defense against them.

A riding teacher years ago showed me some medicine for kidney ailments in horses that had a label stating "Suitable for use by Man or beast". ;^)

Do you need a vet's prescription to buy those or can you buy them over the counter?

They took PPA (used to be in Dimetapp) off the market for humans due to junk science and replaced it with something that causes severe rebound effects and hypertension. But PPA is still available for pets. But I thought you needed a vet's prescription, because I looked into ordering it on the web.
