Anyone have a good source for lactated Ringer's injection saline bags here in Austin?

[alfreda89]

Costco has stopped carrying Lactated Ringer's Injection USP sacks, at least for now.  The cost through my vet will bankrupt me.  Does anyone have a local or Internet source for them that they can recommend?  The vet wants ~ $32 a bag.  Costco used to sell eight bags for $20.

ARGH.

Here's one for $4.99 per. It's listed under drug shortages, unfortunately.

Well, this explains something about Costco no longer offering them. Thanks, Judy.

various places on internet. seem to need vet authorization, but some are willing to call your doc for you, to confirm authorization.

looks like these guys will call or take a form.

looks like they need a form filled out by your vet.

Yes, I will pick up an Rx tomorrow--and ask for an emailed version, too, since I will need to buy online. Of course there's a shortage of this stuff right now...
