Extreme Veteran Posts: 422 Location: Fort Bragg North Carolina	My mare has been on previcox for about 4 years it keeps her sound and I love it! Due to military move I've had 3 vets deny me the prescription and now where I live I cannot find a vet to give me a prescription he suggest Equioxx im unfamiliar with Equioxx. I'm so pleased w previcox I hate to change a medication any advice or ideas? If I had an old arthritic dog I would use the dog to get the prescription lol

Extreme Veteran Posts: 422 Location: Fort Bragg North Carolina	Thanks but I have now found a vet who will give previcox to me. I've went through a lot who won't and a few that will. Btw my orginal vet wouldn't give it to me because she hasn't seen the horse in over a year. And yes I know it's illegal

Jr. Detective Location: Beggs, OK	Glad you were able to find someone to help you....It's ridiculous that Equioxx is 10X the cost of Previcox. I can get Previcox for $0.64 a dose....that is affordable to keep an older horse comfortable even if you have to give it everyday for the rest of their lives. $7-10 a dose is just not feasible.

Extreme Veteran Posts: 372	It was my understanding that several months ago the manf. basically acquiesced and said it they didn't care if Vets prescribed previcox for horses.
