He told us way back then that one of the few drugs that he would only dispense as a name brand was Synthroid (L-thyroxine), because their quality control was so good as compared to the generics. Times may have changed, but this is a relatively cheap drug, especially if bought in the 1000 count bottle, so why take a chance?

Interesting - I did not know that.....thanks, Siberian!
I'm not the expert which is why I asked my vet for his opinion. Hopefully he will advise me on whether a generic would be the way to go or not, for this particular application.
I will let you know what happens and hope you will continue to add your input as you see fit.
If anyone needs any advice in my line of work (landscaping,irrigation, and low-voltage lighting), I'm always happy to offer my input, too. That said, many times i will tell someone their best route is to get a good local contractor and let them assist on the project. A man's gotta know his limitations....
Bugs - those are some awesome photos of Sir Henry....lol.....butt sKritch from the girls!
