From your description I didn't think that was the case this time, but wanted to post what I found when I tried to use Good RX. Hopefully a call to them will get it resolved for you. We recently had to switch from CVS to Walgreen's for prescriptions as CVS lost the contract with the hospital system that DW works for. I have never had so many problems filling prescriptions and it has taken up to 5 tries to get a refill done correctly with the local Walgreens. CVS is trying to re-negotiate the contract to get that business back, and I will be first in line taking my business back to CVS when it happens. I am going to try Walgreen's for one more refill this month, and if the experience isn't any better will probably move the prescriptions to Sam's or Costco until such time that I can go back to CVS. I am not a Walgreen's fan at all after the last couple months of poor customer service.

Did Walgreen's possibly find you a better price in their system than the GoodRx coupon would have provided? When we were in a waiting period for new insurance to kick in, I took a GoodRx coupon in to CVS for one of my more expensive prescriptions. The tech told me that there were already better prices than that coupon in their system. She found a better discount and I ended up paying much less than the Good Rx coupon. May not be the case here, but wanted to put it out there that GoodRx is not always the best deal available. It will vary from pharmacy to pharmacy and depend on the drug/brand.

Yup, sounds like a corn. There are lots of people here who have had to deal with those and can provide advice. Definitely post some pictures to confirm.

He needs to be in the routine of going out immediately after he eats - every time - even if he already went out. We started this with Rocket from Day 1, and he goes right to the door after he eats, even if he only has a snack or treat in his bowl. The guys thrive on routine, it just takes a little time. Also, you might want to do a long walk in the morning instead of putting him in the yard. A walk will get things moving and get him emptied out.

Thank you for taking in Mikey and helping his sister. I have loved reading about him and seeing his pictures. Run free, Mikey.

You lap is warm. He now prefers the AC vents!

Sounds like he's fine. I would just keep an eye on him for any changes if he's acting normal. Here's a reference chart for the symptoms of bloat. We keep a copy of this on our refrigerator just in case. http://www.bmd.org/bmdcr/bloat_chart.pdf

Run pain-free, Master.

Rocket has a habit of running right back to the door after a pee, even though it's time for other business. I found that ignoring the door and standing where he can't see me results in him going back out into the yard after a minute or two and finishing the turnout. I think it's because he wants to score the treat that he gets when he comes back in, but he doesn't bark, he just stands there waiting to see if I will fall for it and open the door.

He is gorgeous. Congratulations! Ken, you have hit the jackpot!

How can you miss a hound who isn't yours and you never met? You just do...

Is he licking at his butt / tail area? Could be the anal gland being irritated or may need to be expressed. If you can get him in sooner it would be worth checking out to relieve any discomfort and check for infection, etc.

I switched Rocket to Precise Senior Food when he started putting on weight. The senior food that Precise has is very similar to their Precise Foundation that he was eating at the time, but had less calories and I think some glucosamine and other supplements added. He has done well on it. The only way to figure out if it's a marketing gimmick is to compare the ingredients, calories, fat, etc to what you are currently feeding and see if you think a switch would be beneficial for any reason. I didn't switch to it for the "senior aspect" so much as to get him on a food with less calories and fat. Rocket has maintained his weight well on the Senior Food with some added green beans and Olewo carrots just to keep him interested in his meals.

That's awesome - especially her reaction.

Congratulations! Was there any indication that they recognized each other?

Run free, Cody.

Irene, I'm so sorry to read this. Time to spoil her (even more) rotten.

Run free, Lydia.

Run pain free, Disco.

Run free, Declan.

Print this chart and keep it on the refrigerator or in another prominent place. It is really helpful and will walk you through the signs of bloat. http://www.bmd.org/bmdcr/bloat_chart.pdf

Rocket will statue at certain places on our walk if he wants to turn around or for some other reason. If turning in a circle doesn't work, I will try crossing the street and continuing, which often works. The other thing to try is to take the leash and hold it right up near the neck like you are leading her. This works with Rocket 99% of the time. I assume it's because they are led to the race box in similar fashion, so the tension on the leash lets him know that you are in control.

Run free, Niles.

Rocket doesn't chew any pill. They just go down the hatch. We use Sentinel and have had no issues.
