What medicines can I pick up at Petfolk Fishers?

Common prescriptions filled on site include:

• Antibiotics for skin, ear, bladder and wound infections

• Pain and anti-inflammatory medicine made for dogs or cats

• Anti-nausea and stomach medicine

• Ear drops, eye drops and medicated shampoos

• Itch relief for allergies

• Monthly heartworm, flea and tick prevention

Ask the team about a specific drug if your pet takes something less common. Some long-term or special medicines may need to be ordered.

Why does my pet need an exam for a prescription?

The vet needs to have examined your pet recently to prescribe. The exam keeps your pet safe: the vet checks weight for the right dose, looks for new problems, and makes sure one medicine won't clash with another. For long-term drugs, such as pain or thyroid medicine, regular blood work checks that the liver and kidneys are handling them well.

How do refills work?

Call the clinic or ask during a visit. If your pet was seen recently and the vet approves, the team will tell you when to pick up. If it has been a while since the last exam, the vet may need to see your pet first. Plan ahead for holidays and trips, so you don't run out.

One Fishers pet parent likes keeping it all in one place:

The ability to communicate with my vet or make orders right in the app is fantastic.

Giving medicine without a fight

Fear Free and gentle handling are standard at every Petfolk clinic, and the team will show you how to give a pill, liquid or ear drop before you leave. A few tips:

• Hide pills in a pill pocket or a small bit of soft food your vet says is OK.

• Give liquids into the cheek pouch, slowly, not straight down the throat.

• Follow the dose with a treat, so it ends on a good note.

• Finish every antibiotic, even if your pet seems better.

Storing medicine safely at home

Keep pet and human medicine in separate places, and never in a bag on the floor where a curious dog can reach it. Many pet chews are flavored, so dogs may eat a whole box if they find it. Store liquids and eye drops as the label says; some go in the fridge. Write the start date on the bottle so you know when a refill is due.

Can I give my pet human medicine?

Please don't, unless the vet says so. Some common human pain relievers, cold medicines and sleep aids can be toxic to dogs and cats, even in small doses, and cats are extra sensitive. You'll get an estimate before any test or treatment. The final bill can differ if the plan changes during the visit.

Prevention for Hamilton County seasons

Ticks, fleas and mosquitoes are part of life around Fishers, from Geist shorelines to backyard grass. The vet can help you pick a heartworm prevention and a flea and tick product that fit your pet, and you can take the first dose home the same day.

If your pet reacts to a medicine

Mild stomach upset can happen with some drugs; call the clinic for advice. If your pet has a swollen face, hives, trouble breathing or collapses after a dose, go to a 24-hour emergency hospital such as VCA Advanced Veterinary Care Center at 7712 Crosspoint Commons in Fishers.
