That doesn't sound right. I fill Rx drugs at Walmart often, even some
of my cat's Rx meds, and I have never had to wait more than a few
minutes and the price is far less than anywhere else... a 30 day
supply is $4... a 90 day supply is $10. I phone in my refills and
they are waiting for me to pick up. If your doctor phones in a new Rx
your meds will be ready for you to pick up, no waiting. I wish I
could fill all my cat's Rx meds at Walmart, they're four times less
than at the vet... I buy Blackie's insulin syringes at Walmart, less
than $25/100, at the vet they are $130 and not nearly as good a
quality. Blackie started out on human insulin, was also about $25 at
Walmart, but now he has to be on cat insulin, $130 at the vet. I'm
sure the vet is a rip off.
