I saw at cackle hatchery you can buy a consultation with the chicken dr for like 25 bucks. LOL.

That's good to know, thanks for sharing that!

Does that comprise/establish the necessary 'relationship' with a vet to get a prescription?

That's a very good question. I just looked at the Cackle site, and the consult is with Dr. Peter Brown. Does anyone know if he is actually a licensed vet?

And another question... Can a vet prescribe medications in all states or do they have to be licensed in each state to do that?

I do believe that Peter Brown is a licensed vet, but am not positive.
Maybe not tho, as it's not on his website and I think it would be if he were a DVM.
He's been doing paid phone consults for a long time.....http://www.askthechickendoctor.com/
......also runs a couple vet FB groups, one for goats and a newer one for chickens.

Interesting, wonder what an associates degree in poultry science consisted of 50 years ago(OK maybe it wasn't that long ago).
So he can't sell, I mean 'prescribe', the 'banned' meds as he's not a DVM.

I noticed many of the "banned" drugs are no longer on his website, but he still does have a few of the banned ones as well as a couple of things that are prescription only.
