Ever tried giving your cat a tablet or capsule every day? Do you
have an exotic bird that needs medication? These are some problems that
arise every day and can be solved when working with a veterinarian and a
compounding pharmacist.
Most drugs that are FDA-approved are generally for certain
species, either food producing or for common species such as dogs and
cats. Consequently, there are few to no products specifically approved
for exotic species because of the small market. With the help of a
compounding pharmacy, veterinarians can prescribe patient-specific
products designed for the species.
