Some vets will let you have it if you explain the problem and bring some papers with you. Or go get a dog about 75 lbs.

I do have a dog. I can bring him to the vet, but just wouldn't know what to tell my vet since I'm not really treating my dog.
Also, there dang Red Bugs started to show last night. I'm pretty sure that there aren't any eggs yet. How many pounds would I buy the pill? Can give me a link so I can print it and show the vet as well? |

Does the vet give you the interceptor for a 1X a month dose already? If I recall it is the 51+lb pill which has 23mg of the chemical. Look that up as I'm going off memory now.
The official stance of the board is to not promote decietful practices for controlled substances. So I don't want to get into trouble. Try printing these pages and take them to him. If he doesn't read them and blows you off then go to the next vet. Let them know you'll make them your family vet if they are open minded enough to investigate and learn new things. Then follow up with your promise. http://www.ericborneman.com/Tegastes.../Research.html I just noticed the site is down and when it's back up, go to that page and then move around the site, there are treatment/research/discussion type pages there.

not even vet meds will sell it to you without a prescription. the best thing is to take your dog in ask to have the dog put on heart worm prevention. do a test for your dog. then get the prescription.

Interceptor is a prescription only drug.
Print out information (from this site, for example) as to WHY you would like the Rx/Interceptor, take it to any vet, and he/she should have no problem giving it to you. --- Wendy |

Exactly JerseyWendy. I printed out the info, and took it to the vet clinic that my cats go to. The vet read through the info, gave me the 2 second "not appropriate usage use at your own risk" speech and gave me what I wanted. She wanted feedback on how it worked as well. Now it's listed on my account and I just go get more when I need it. It is always possible that if you don't have a vet and go looking for one you'll run into an old stubborn by the books individual. If so, move on to someone more educated and open minded.
I use it to treat incoming corals.

funny i posted this exact same question a couple months back and it immediately got deleted!! oh well i guess, another reefer came through big time for me. thats also somthig you can look into, is ask fellow reefers in your area if they can donate some, it doesnt take a lot. you know what they say, one good turn...this info is still helpful to have/know for anyone trying to get a Rx for their tank problems.

We have two dogs that are on something else for heartworms. Our vet sold us two pills which was enough to do four treatments on my tank. Do not go in and ask for a whole pack. You will more than likely get more help if you ask for just waht you need.

Don't lie and tell them it's for your dog. I was up front with my vet and told them it was for red bugs in my tank and they had no issues selling me few boxes of the stuff.

Just be up front. If the vet isn't ok with that, then get another vet. Most will be fine.
If they ask for documentation (reasonable IMO) I suggest bringing Delbeek/Sprung's "The reef aquarium vol. 3". It has documentation on interceptor and looks a little more official than a forum print out. |

I "think" I've found a vet place that will see me the Interceptor. However, I was asked about the dosage.
As stated above, I only see a few on them on my Tort. I want to only treat the Tort in a separate container/cup. Can you guys advise what dosage I will need? Thanks! |
