my brother will do ANYTHING to care for his animals-even if it causes him dire embarrassment. this one was the most recent-
his elderly dog 'pooter' developed a heart condition and the vet told him there was only one med he could prescribe, it was a people med, the dog would get the smallest possible dosage and db would have to purchase the meds at the local grocery pharmacy (needed it fast-no time for an internet order). the med was VIAGRA.
so my brother has to walk into the local safeway, submit a perscription for 'pooter-db's last name', explain while a whole line of people are waiting behind him, that no it's not for him, don't even try to submit to his insurance company. then when he gets handed the meds, in front of the whole line of people has to listen to the whole speil from the pharmacist (who keeps refering to him as 'mr. pooter') about the possible side effects and what to do if the dog experiences an erection that lasts over x number of hours-but 'don't worry too much since your doctor only prescribed half a normal child's dosage' (was'nt likely since pooter was female)...he said he never wanted to get out of a store so fast
