I'm thoroughly confused at this point.

We finally got our kitty out of emergency care from over the holidays but it was a bit of a challenge getting meds.
They were out of a certain liquid pain medication.
We were told it was easily available from a regular pharmacy(all were called), or another vet.

1). About five other vets said they couldn't fill a script for non-patients by FDA law.
-Our vet doctor said BS to that.
-Our vet said they were stockpiling the drug for their own practice, hence it being unavailable.

2). Other vets said go to a compounding pharmacy.
-Someone said that these aren't open to the general public anymore because of fungi contamination outbreak.

The script was for .3mg buprenorphine 5ml I think. A small dose anyways.
I can't get up to check my notes because the cat weights about 18 lbs and is now laying on my arm. I'm allowed only small movements at this point in time or I get the protest chirp and the claw.

I'm just wondering if our vet hospital was accurate on these FDA drug rules, or the multitude of other vets are.
I don't know who to believe.
We had a cat in pain over the holidays and none even offered to make an exception.
