Hi We had the same problem, thankfully my mum is a pharmacist and clarified what each script must state..

A written script must be in ink or other indelible format, and must include;

· The name and address of the person prescribing the product

· The qualifications of the person prescribing the product

· The name and address of the owner and keeper

· The species of animal, identification and number of animals

· The premises at which an animal is kept if different from that of owner

· The date of prescription

· The signature of prescriber

· Name and amount of the product prescribed

· The dosage and administration instructions – note ‘as directed’ is not

acceptable

· Any necessary warnings

· Withdrawal period if relevant

· A medicinal product authorised for human use must specifically state that it is for administration ‘under the cascade’.

"Medicinal product is for administration ‘under the cascade’"

Hope this helps you

At one practice I worked at they used a template from the BVA, I'm pretty sure you can download them from their website.
