That all makes me a bit nervous. What are the 2 drugs? I can ask SCG over on BYC about them, she is a pharmacist.

I'm sure you know Bruce, there are many medications that are multifaceted,...used to treat more than one ailment and they often aren't similar ailments or diseases.
Most drugs used to treat prostate problems such as BPH are also alpha blockers of one kind or another.
Doxazosin, sold sometimes as CaduraXL is often prescribed for prostate problems, sometimes for treatment of PTSD and lowering high blood pressure.
Most of the other most common prostate treatment drugs (Alfuzosin--Silodosin-Tamsulosin ) carry a warning that it is NOT to be used to treat hypertension/high blood pressure. I've been on 2 of the 5 and tinitus is one of the primary side effects I encountered.
Doxazosin doesn't really do anything to shrink a prostate.it just relaxes some muscles in the prostate and bladder.
Terazosin is another drug prescribed for prostate problems, and it works the same way as Doxazosin and has about the same side effects as Doxazosin and is also sometimes prescribed for high blood pressure problems. Prazosin is similar to Doxazosin but the dosage and time release are different. It too is used for PTSD treatment. One of my nephews is on Prazosin for PTSD problems.

The part that concerns me is that B&B seems to be mixing and matching what was prescribed but changing things without oversight.
Super glad you've got it figured out and it's working for you. Figured with your nursing background, you had to have SOME idea of how it all works...

WooHoo! 
We just watched the weather report and tomorrow its supposed be sunny!!! It rained all day yesterday and today. We had nothing but puddles and mud all over the back and side yards, where the chickens and ducks free range. We are so sick and tired of rainy overcast skis. 
Surprisingly, we only got 2-1/4” of rain in the past two days. I would have thought we got more. I am SO ready for the ground to dry out, so we can get out in the garden and weed, so I can get the Winter vegetables, that I started from seed, in the ground. Most, if not all of them should tolerate temps down into the upper 20’s. So we should be fine.

I gripe as much about rain as anyone but I try not to do it too much since our area can go from flood to drought without too much notice.
Was gonna post that my national radar shows one heck of a strong front line headed your way... I'm sure you're as excited about "MORE RAIN" as most of the rest of us have been. 
Stay dry and make the best of it.

Good for you alerting people not to buy such a young baby animal. Buying one that young wouldnt turn out well for the baby or the person who bought it and doesnt understand how to care for them. Probably the people selling dont know what they are doing either.
