You're most welcome, Blurb and dmann.
While I'm at it, here's another tip: Many pet's Rx meds are the same as generics available for human-types. Make a call to Walgreen's or other discount pharmacy. They can fill these from your vet's scrip for big savings -and w/quick local pickup.
Animal pills are typically of a smaller dosage than the same stuff for people. If the pharmacy doesn't have the correct size of a given drug, they can often still fill it w/the one they stock -always if the drug is one that's available non-Rx for humans. If the dose you need is 1/4 that of the smallest they sell (which is common), then cutting the pills down to halves or quarters is easy w/pill cutters that all drugstores carry.
dmann- hope your kitty feels better!
