NEEDED MEDS FAST
From UndisclosedComments about Albon (sulfadimethoxine) 5% Oral Suspension, 2oz (60mL)My Vet couldn't get the liquid meds so they had to give me the meds in pill form. Have you ever tried to give a cat a pill!! Searched for meds on line and found PetRX Direct and they had what I needed. They were very professional. Contacted my vet and they worked together and acted fast. I appreciate their great customer service and professionalism.-

albon liquid for very young puppies with diarrhea
From UndisclosedComments about Albon (sulfadimethoxine)this is a great product for diarrhea in puppies too young for tablets and can be more accurately dosed by weight being a liquid. It has saved more than one litter of ig puppies and I am never without it. you know your puppies have diarrhea if the dam was keeping the box clean and suddenly there are feces on the puppies, the mother and the bedding. -

Q & A
-
When will Albon be back in stock??
-
BettySue, The manufacturer for Albon has requested a limited distribution channel for their product, and as such, we do not carry this product at this time. A local veterinary clinic will be the best resource for this product. If this changes, we will update the website once we know the product is available - currently, we are only able to stock the 16 ounce oral suspension. Thank you, VetRxDirect
