A prescription may not be appropriate if your animal in an in-patient or immediate treatment is necessary.

The general policy of Rouken Glen Veterinary Surgery is to re assess patients requiring repeat prescriptions every 6 – 12 months, but this may vary with individual circumstances. Due to RCVS guidelines a physical examination of a pet must be every time any antibiotics, antifungals, antivirals and parasitides are prescribed.

The standard charge for a repeat prescription examination is £32.00.
