hi smallfella here I'm new so hope i'm respecting the rules etc. but my two little fellas shitzuxmaltese are ageing and have just been put on meds, a real shock at the prices. I've searched the net and can't find any cheaper options other than buying thru the vet, someone said that human inflammateries can be used for the pooches and are cheaper and are over the counter is this so, also are there any other avenues for cheaper prescription meds?
