To everyone in NB who was purchasing deslorelin implants from Dr.Drmac (VetCare Pet Hospital, Riverview NB) or/and Dr.McArthur (Royal Road Veterinary Hospital, Fredericton NB) :
We now have to go to Fairview Animal Hospital (Halifax, NS) to get them done.
Here's Dr.McArthur email :
''Hi Annik,
Unfortunately the implants have been difficult to order as we have to purchase through Australia and in the past we were able to order one or two as needed. Now we have to order a minimum of 5-10 and there is not enough demand for that. So one owner might end up paying for 5 implants plus the office call and anesthesia to have the procedure done. If anything changes with the ordering, we can contact your Veterinary Hospital and let them know but I don't suspect it will change within the next 6 months. Sorry.
Susan MacArthur, DVM''
If anyone is interested to know how much Fairview Animal Hospital will charge for the deslorelin implant; Johnny got his implant from Dr.Dibblee yesterday, and they charged us $255 (including the check-up, the implant, and procedure).
Expensive, but less expensive than having to pay $60 for the lupron injection every month.
That being said, I'm still hoping our regular vet, Dr.Drmac, can get the implant before our boys need another one!
