I am shocked that your vet charged you $9 to write the script. Calif. law says that I am entitled to buy the meds where ever I chose and the medical professional has to supply me with a paper script. I have not read through the law in several years so I don't know if it specifies that the dr. can not charge extra for the paper script or not. My vet has never charged me extra.
My old dog had previcox and I could get it for $50 cheaper on line then from my vet. My vet was more then happy to write the script and the assistant even told me that I didn't need a script that I could have the internet place call them and she would verify that a script was on file. I just found it easier for me phyically have the script and fax it (or scan and e-mail) to the on-line place.
It sounds like your vet doesn't value you as a client. If you have a choice, I would suggest that you investigate other vets.
