Why it's good to know your vet when you have seahorses

    So one of my wife’s ponies has developed subcutaneous emphysema (bubble in his tail), and I do some research and find the treatment is Acetazolamide. So I call my friendly vet and explain what I need, and he says sure he will call it into Walgreens for me. Great so I go to Walgreens, and the pharmacy tech tells me “no we don’t have a script for that.” Ok, I call my vet back, and he tells me he did call it in, but if there are any problems, the pharmacist can call him directly. Back into Walgreens and ask to talk with the pharmacist who says “oh you’re the seahorse guy right?” I tell her, yes, and she informed me that she has the script and they have the medicine but “I couldn’t put it in the computer without a name and birthdate.” So this particular seahorse is now named Champ, and I assigned his birthday as 2/13/2016.

    Glad you were able to find a solution, hope Champ gets better. If you have to do something like that for any others my vote for a name would be Seabiscuit :lol:
