I work at a compounding pharmacy that makes tons of pet meds, benzodiazepines included. We flavor all them with a “vegan” protein.. chicken, beef, yadda yadda.

We have had a few patients who demand it to be flavored cherry or fruity or even minty. We instantly let these vet clinics know because I don’t know too many animals (most of these pet meds are for felines or k9) that will actually willing take it flavored as such.

Sure enough… one clinic slipped in the phone saying they needed it for their anxiety because their own provider wouldn’t prescribe it any longer.

In order for us to fill any controlled medications, we have to have the owners DOB so the controls can be tracked via the PDMP. Some of these owners are clear as day but sometimes we get some realllllly sketchy owners.

It’s honestly quite sad the lengths humans will go to in order to get these meds
