Re: Vet won't write script for Fortaz but sells it at 10x the price. Is this legal?
From avma.org:
Q: If I choose to get my pet's prescriptions filled elsewhere, can my veterinarian refuse to give me a prescription?
A: AVMA’s Principles of Veterinary Medical Ethics require that veterinarians provide prescriptions to clients upon request in lieu of dispensing a drug when a veterinarian-client-patient relationship exists and the veterinarian has determined that the drug is medically necessary. Additionally, most states have laws requiring veterinarians to provide prescriptions upon request.
-- Not sure what state you live in OP? Nevermind, just saw Nevada.

This link may be helpful, as it lists specific state statutes regarding veterinary care and prescriptions. Looks like Nevada requires vets to follow AVMA's guidelines regarding prescriptions.
