Can my vet prescribe Carprofen for my dog's slipped disk to fill elsewhere?

Question

Will a vet provide me a prescription to have filled by a outside vendor for Carprofen 75mg for a slipped disk. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | unneutered | 12 years and 7 months old

This depends on the individual practice policy but most clinics will write a prescription for an ongoing condition which they have diagnosed. Regular check ups are required for them to monitor the correct dosage and any possible side effects also and this will be a condition of repeat scripts in many clinics
