Sometime last year my cat had begun losing weight, becoming almost bones, and acted like she was on speed all the time. Couldn't keep herself groomed either. So I took her to the vet, and she was diagnosed with a hyperactive thyroid. Three choices: Surgical removal (expensive and no guarantee she'd live), some kind of radioactive iodine injection (I forget how that one worked, but it was expensive too), or hand feed her a pill twice a day. Least expensive in the short run, only one with a 100% guarantee to work.
Well, I went with that route. First I got 30 pills and that lasted a month, at the end of that month she had to be retested and the dose had to be doubled. Now it was 60pills to last a month. Well, that **** was ****ing expensive at close to $70 a month for Tapazole - $50 for Methimazole (non-name brand). After four months, I was close to simply having to put her down... but luckily found a pharmaceutical company outside the US that had bulk for relatively cheap. $180 + S&H for a 15 month supply.
That just blew my mind, I got the same stuff for a longer period of time from outside the US while even the generic stuff here is way more expensive. The cats been on the Tapazol I got from outside the US for a few months now and is doing fine.
So, if you need pet medicine and are paying out the bellybutton for it, I'd suggest you check out this website:
