Once your animal’s disease or condition has been assessed, our vet at Palmerston Vets may recommend an appropriate medicine to treat the ailment. As the owner, you will be fully advised on how to administer the drug with advice on warnings or contraindications.
If your pet is prescribed ongoing medication, we will need to monitor the disease on a regular basis. We will have to re-examine them every three months for you to obtain repeat prescriptions.
Please allow 2 working days’ notice for medications or written prescriptions.
Prescriptions are available from this practice.
You may obtain Prescription Only Medicines Veterinary, (POM-Vs) from your veterinary surgeon OR ask for a written prescription and obtain these medicines from another alternative source.
Your veterinary surgeon may prescribe POM-Vs only for animals under their care.
A prescription may not be appropriate if your animal is an in-patient or immediate treatment is necessary.
You will be informed of the price of any medicine that may be dispensed for your animal.
Our practice policy states that no medicine shall be dispensed unless the animal has been examined within the following periods.

FLEA AND WORM PRODUCTS (POM-V) 12 MONTHS
Please note that these are the maximum period and for guidance, there will be many circumstances in which a shorter period is more appropriate. Longer periods may also be permitted only in the responsibility of the veterinary surgeon.
