I got one vial from the vet for about $70, I had a friend order it for
me at cost, and it was about $30. You can get a prescription and
take it to Walgreens/CVS, etc and shop around for the best price.
The vial would be one shot worth
in a human, but for the ferret it lasted me awhile, I only had to use
a small amount and I think it was about 2 months worth in the one vial.
It does come in different strengths, the strength I used was the smallest
it comes at so that at least I could measure the dose. If I got the more
concentrated one I would have more shots per vial as long as the dose
was not so small it wasn't measurable on the syringe. Keep it in the
refrigerator,
and it has a decent shelf life. I know it did work for the ferret I gave
it to, in fact so good I had to stop early because her HCT was high.
I gave the shots myself.
