This is a good topic. I had problems before Y2K getting stocked up on meds. We still have enough MRE's to feed two armies, but medication is another story. My whole family had trouble at the time stocking up on certain meds, even Thyroid medication!! Our vet was the most understanding - he sold us $700 worth of medication for our pets, including phenobarbital in case a critter had to be put down. Most doctor's aren't very understanding when you ask for a couple of months stock of Hydrocodone I think it's a good idea to have several days worth of food and water, but I have to agree the plastic and duct tape won't do much good. Let's pray it doesn't come to that.
