I think that's unusual Ruby. Try ordering them online from a place like drugstore.com or cvs.com. They will be a lot cheaper too probably
I went to two Walgreens and one CVS and the employees all told me they will no longer be carrying them due to "allergy concerns". What I don't get about that, is if someone has a latex allergy, why can't they use the vinyl or nitrile ones and leave the latex ones for people who don't have allergies? They've literally carried them for years and years and now they suddenly decide that customers with latex allergies are too stupid not to buy something they're allergic to so nobody else gets it either.
Last year I had a problem with a raccoon coming up and trying to eat out of the bowls (I've been more careful about feeding the cats at night trying not to leave the food out there very long since then) and it got its nasty saliva all over the bowls so I knew it wasn't safe to keep handling them with bare hands even though rabies in raccoons isn't very common in this particular area (it's more a problem with skunks and bats here). When it comes to a life threatening, incurable disease though there's no point in taking any risks with it.
Back when I had Eva (my ferret) she had giardia for a while and I had used them to keep from getting that parasite from her. They're really very useful for working with animals in general.
I went to Wal Mart a few days ago and they didn't have the latex gloves in the correct size. The grocery store had them last time I was there but I'm afraid they may be discontinuing them too.
There are places that sell them online but I'm concerned that they may stop selling them soon if all the pharmacies and Wal-mart seem to be discontinuing them.
