General Care Discussion :: Where to buy Silver Sulfadiazine?

[kittyclover]

I am in Canada and apparently you can only get this by prescription only, is there anywhere I could buy this possibly online that will ship to Canada and isn't a rip off on shipping?

Thanks

Only way to get it is by prescription. Anyone selling it to you without one would be breaking the law.
Take your turtle to a herp vet, and if that is what the turtle actually needs, the vet will prescribe it.

Unfortunately I can't find any type of herp vet near me.

ANY Dr can prescribe it. It's not just for pets. Humans use it on burns as well.

I suppose I could ask my family doctor, not sure if they can even do that since its not for me, but its worth a try.

I don't have any decent vets near me either, but I was able to order some online without a prescription. Search Google Shopping for silver sulfadiazine or Silvadene and you'll get lots of hits. I got mine from these guys.

Thanks for the link, but shipping is ridiculous. They want 20.00-26.00 depending on method I choose, I hate places that try to make a profit off shipping. Actual shipping would probably be less than 8.00.
