Conditions we commonly compound for
When commercial forms are hard to give — or the right strength is unavailable — veterinarians often prescribe compounded medications. Explore common conditions and the medications we prepare for dogs and cats.
Feline Hyperthyroidism
Hyperthyroidism is one of the most common endocrine diseases in older cats. Treatment often includes methimazole, which many cats refuse as a bitter tablet — making compounded liquids and transdermal gels especially useful.
Congestive Heart Failure
Dogs and cats with heart disease may need lifelong medications such as pimobendan, furosemide, or clopidogrel. Custom strengths and easier forms improve daily compliance.
Seizures & Epilepsy
Pets with seizure disorders may need ongoing medication. Gabapentin and other therapies are sometimes compounded into liquids or chewables for accurate dosing.
Anxiety & Behavior
Anxiety medications such as fluoxetine, trazodone, and gabapentin are common in veterinary practice. Compounded flavored forms make long-term or situational dosing easier.
Diarrhea & GI Issues
GI problems are among the top reasons pets need medication. Metronidazole, tylosin, cisapride, omeprazole, and sucralfate are frequently compounded into more palatable forms.
Arthritis & Pain
Chronic pain and arthritis often require NSAIDs, gabapentin, or steroids. Easy-to-give forms help pets stay comfortable on long-term plans.
Cushing’s Disease
Canine Cushing’s disease is commonly managed with trilostane. Doses are individualized and often adjusted — custom strengths from a compounding pharmacy can help.
Hypertension in Cats
High blood pressure in cats can damage the eyes, kidneys, and brain. Amlodipine is a common treatment, and compounded liquids or gels help when pilling is difficult.
Appetite Loss
Cats that stop eating can decline quickly. Mirtazapine is a common appetite stimulant and can be compounded as tablets or transdermal gel.
Skin & Soft-Tissue Infections
Skin infections are among the most common reasons antibiotics are prescribed. Amoxicillin-clavulanate, cephalexin, cefpodoxime, and doxycycline are frequent choices.
