When you say a locally owned pharmacy, can you elaborate?
The ones I’m familiar with are just at big stores here.

I don’t know if this will help or not, but nobody else has answered, so here it goes. I work in a pharmacy, and we have a couple of patients that we do allergy shots for. Worst case scenario, we pull an epipen off the shelf if things go south. Find you a locally owned pharmacy, call them and explain the situation. Ask if they can administer the shot, or if they can point you in a direction at least. It’s worth a shot, and might get you an answer even if they don’t do it themselves.

No OP, but I’m thinking they mean a pharmacy that is not owned by a chain like Walgreens or CVS. Locally own pharmacies are usually owned by one person or a family and they specialize in compounding medications. That’s when they make medications for specific customers that have unique needs, which interestingly, includes pets 🐶🐱. Try searching for a “compounding pharmacy” near you or ask a veterinarian clinic if they know of one. I’m sure they’ll be happy to answer that iver the phone even if you’re not a current customer.

Worth a shot, heh
