Hi,

I know it sounds a bit flippant, but my veteranarian told me that it's really expensive to get cyclosporin to treat animals and that sometimes the owners of the pets have to decline treatment because of the cost.

Jo, my vet, was trying to get out of date cyclo to add to eye drops to treat dry eye syndrome. She wasn't sucessful.

At the hospital where I go for treatment, all out of date or half used stock is placed in a box and sent to the RSPCA to help treat animals.

I love animals, so I give everything I think can be useful to the local animal hospital. i.e. old blankets, towels etc.

In Australia we are told that if we have unwanted medication that we should take them to a pharmacy rather than discarding them in the trash or throwing them down the toilet.
