What a $64.99 RexVet video visit can do for Richmond pet parents
Monitoring of anxiety medication and situational anxiety Rx (Sileo) where state rules allow, behavior modification coaching, follow-up dose adjustments are all top telehealth use cases. Gabapentin is a human-labeled drug, and a controlled substance in Virginia, so a veterinarian needs to examine your pet in person before prescribing it.
