Re: Vet won't write script for Fortaz but sells it at 10x the price. Is this legal?

I am limited for reptile Vets. I already need to travel 2 hours as it is so I wouldn’t have choices to find another vet if the only one within 4 hours was a Crook.
I do think this situation is unethical. That Vet is obviously a crook. You paid him for the office charge and diagnosis I’m sure, but it is not mandatory you buy prescriptions from him. Without the script for his diagnosis you cannot treat your animals. If I were you everyone would know about this Vet and the story. Make sure to give facts only so that you are in no way slandering him. I would also contact your attorney general and take the time to fill out the paperwork.
I bet there are a bunch of people that would listen to you about his practices. I am all for a business owner running his business as he wishes, However Dr’s need to have a ethical code, you do not turn people away that can not afford to be gouged on prescription prices so that living things would not get the treatment they need IMO.
I agree that both vet and the clinic are crooks. Do you think I have a case to involve the attorney general?
