In Reply to: Unable to obtain needles posted by big chill on December 20, 1996 at 18:11:12:
: Unable to obtain needles. A resident in the state of Illinois must have a
: prescription from either an MD or a Veterinarian to purchase needles. I have
: tried purchasing needles at three different pharmacies, one farm supply store and
: a mail order pet supply company without any luck. Any ideas or advice on buying
: needles? Grateful for any help.
: Just a note, needle source for anyone that is NOT a resident of the state of
: Illinois.
Do you know anyone out of state that could order the needles for you? They could order them and then ship them to you. If not, most sources for steroids also sell them for around $1 each. Definitely marked up in price! I saw that you have 20 gauge needles listed, it has been my experience that you only need a 22 gauge needle, even for oil based injectables. I mean, if you want to use a larger needle, then go for it, but you only need a 22 gauge. If you are using aqueous solutions, you can use an even smaller one. Good luck.
