- We are often asked to “call it in”. As a practice, Burke Forest has a policy of not calling medications into pharmacies. The reason for this is two fold – 1. We do not have a digital transfer service like our human counterparts, so calling it in is inefficient because we often have hold times of over 20 minutes. 2. There is no paper trail to ensure accuracy between prescriber and pharmacy. We hope you can understand this is in an effort to better serve our customers.
Maintaining Your Pet’s Lifetime Health
- Gestation: We can give you advice on making a nest for your expectant pet, nutritional preparation, and worming and disease prevention.
- Vaccinations: Core vaccinations are vital to all cats and dogs. Our doctors can recommend which vaccinations are best for your pet's needs.
- Spaying and Neutering: Unless you plan to breed your pet, we recommend having your pets spayed or neutered.
- Microchipping: Microchipping is the most reliable means of recovering your pet if it gets lost.

Prescriptions FAQs
Yes. Prescription medications require a valid veterinarian-client-patient relationship and, in some cases, a recent exam or lab work.
Many medications can be hidden in pill pockets, soft treats, or a small amount of food. If that doesn’t work, ask us about liquid, chewable, or flavored compounded options.
No. Stopping early, especially antibiotics, can cause the condition to return or worsen. Always finish the full course unless advised otherwise.
Common side effects may include vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or changes in appetite. Contact us immediately if you notice severe reactions such as swelling, difficulty breathing, or collapse.
