Pet's info: Dog | Beagle | Male | neutered | 5 years and 8 months old | 50 lbs
Can you purchase phenobarbital over the counter, at A pharmacy to treat A dog? My dog is 7 years old, 50 lb Beagle and suffers from seizures regularly. He's being treated at the vet's for 90mg of Phenobarbital at the present time,and is costing me A fortune for treatment,bloodwork and medications to help control Bailey's seizures. Is there any other options I can try? Appreciate any feedback you can give. Thank You.

No, phenobarbital is a prescription only medication. You can speak to Bailey's vet to see if you can do payment plans, or check out some of these charities below which may help with the costs. Best of luck. http://lessonsfromaparalyzeddog.com/when-pet-owners-cant-afford-veterinary-bills/
