Drugs ain't cheap...

They say the cost of prescription drugs is spiralling out of control, and after today I have to agree. I just bought Max nine, count 'em nine, combination flea and heartworm pills, for which I paid the low price of $104.16. That's $11.57 apiece. And I thought my allergy pills were pricy at $2.50 each.

The funny thing is, when I commented that I remembered this particular brand costing much less in the past, she claimed it had always been expensive. Maybe compared to other meds, but I'm sure that a decade ago I paid less than $50 (and possibly $40) for the same number of pills.

Perhaps I should organize a march on Washington...

Even on 1800petmeds the 6 pack of Sentinel pills is $65. So perhaps your vet isn't too out of line costwise.
