I reply:
What you need to do is to contact your local general animal shelter, and
make them aware of your shelter (I assume that you are state licenced, of
course, since that will be essential in this regard.) and find out who
they use in case that vet may be able to donate this way or know another
who is able.
 
It's just not possible to expect a vet to make out a prescription sight
unseen since that would be a violation of their licences and oaths.
