- Please give me some shaving cream.

“There's a veterinary pharmacy here.

- What doesn't happen?

- No, this is a veterinary pharmacy - for animals.

- Well, then give me a package of validol!

- I would like to pick up something as a gift, I'm going to visit.

- You are welcome. There are toys, goodies, ammunition. Is there a cat or a dog?

- Well no! For my son-in-law.

- Is there any benzonal?

- No, this is in a regular pharmacy, but here is a veterinary one.

- So what, what a veterinary! And I am disabled!

(Dialogues at the veterinary pharmacy)

Working in a veterinary pharmacy, you have to find yourself in various tragic and comic situations. To make mutual claims of consultants and buyers an exception, not a rule, let us cry for a hard share.

Firstly, although only veterinarians sell the goods at the pharmacy, animals are not accepted there. Even if the pharmacy is located at the clinic, one doctor conducts an appointment in a specially equipped office, while another works in the pharmacy. Of course, it is allowed to enter the veterinary pharmacy with animals (try on a collar or muzzle), but demand that the doctor, leaning over the counter, diagnose and prescribe treatment … But they demand!

Secondly, the doctor should, in addition to dispensing the goods, give advice on its use, if there are a lot of appointments, but the buyer does not have enough money, choose the most urgent drugs that are suitable for the price, answer phone calls, take the goods, write price tags and arrange the goods beautifully on showcases. By the law of a sandwich, it all happens at the same time. Please be patient! Scandals in line do not speed up the doctor's work. If you need a lengthy consultation, it would be polite to skip the line and then talk in detail. And keep in mind that even if you politely, with a smile, answer your long story about your favorite cat, this does not mean that the doctor has a lot of free time and has nothing to do. It is quite possible that a pile of goods awaits him, which will have to be placed after hours after the closure of the pharmacy.

Thirdly, if you have complaints about too high prices or the absence of any product in the range, contact them not to a doctor, but to the pharmacy's management. Spoiled mood and wasted time are not the best helpers at work. Many pharmacies supply the food or medicine you need. They will be purchased especially for you and will call when you can drive up. When buying a large bag of food, discounts are usually made. All problems can be solved calmly and without hassle.

Fourth, please remember or write down the names of drugs and feeds! Every day you have to solve puzzles about what medicines or food the buyer needs. "Give me an anthelmintic! What do you mean what? You are a doctor!" And questions begin: for a cat or a dog, age, weight, which is more convenient - liquid or pills, ours or imported, at what price. "Give me cat food!" You ask: age, weight, healthy or sick (and what) animal, canned food or dry food, what price suits you. Not only does it take a lot of time, but an incorrectly applied medicine or an incorrectly prescribed medicinal food can cause a worsening of the situation. "The cat is urinating with blood, give me something!" If this is cystitis, the treatment is one, urolithiasis with phosphorus stones is another, purulent pyelonephritis is the third,renal failure is the fourth. Without examination and urinalysis results, the doctor DOES NOT HAVE THE RIGHT to prescribe treatment. And the buyer is outraged and offended - he hoped that the treatment for his cat would be quickly and free of charge right in the pharmacy!

And fifthly, do not throw animals into clinics and pharmacies! Yes, people work there, whose vocation is animals, yes, they can heal, yes, there is food in pharmacies, but veterinarians are not able to cure and feed all animals. Medicines and feed are not free, spending them on a foundling, the doctor will shell out money from his pocket. Each of us has more than one animal at home, most of the abandoned and thrown animals. Doctors have as much time to find new owners as any of you, that is, a minimum (everyone has work, family, children, household chores). Let's not be nice at someone else's expense!
