i’m glad(?) i’m not the only one having issues. my dog collapsed in April and a murmur was found – just like OP. my dog is currently on 7.5mg 2x/day… i’ve been getting the 5mg pills through petcarerx because they have some yearly service you can sign up for and get the meds WAY cheaper. my vet charges 100 for 50 tabs, this place, with the discount, charge $58. so it seemed to be worth it considering he’s on 3 different meds for his heart failure. that being said, i tried to refill mid july and they were out, so i ordered thru my vet. 50 pills doesnt go very far when you are using 3 a day! tried to reorder last week and the website was out, and so was my vet! thankfully they got them back in stock in the office the day before i ran out (had a weeks worth – planned ahead to account for shipping!). just talked to petcarerx today and they still dont have 5mg, and dont know when it will come in, but they did have 10mg. so i got 50 for $79. that plus the 50 5mg from my vet will hopefully last thru this shortage (half of each=7.5mg=50 day supply), but this is scary since there doesnt seem to be much of an option as a replacement!!
