Capsules can be made for your pet to allow for precise doses of medications. Capsules are the most common form of veterinary compound at Adams, and are available in the widest range of medications and strengths. Common medications include pimobenden, trilostane, and enrofloxacin. 

Uncommon pets such as birds and small rodents often do best with suspensions over other forms of compounded medication. Cats and dogs may also prefer liquid as it can be given quickly directly from the syringe or added to soft food. We can compound suspensions in either an oil or water base. Suspensions can be flavored with a variety of sweet or savory flavors, such as banana, marshmallow, chicken, beef, and more. 

A topical, transdermal cream is applied to the inside of a cat's ear. This can be an effective way to deliver medication with less stress to your pet than a pill. Methimazole, mirtazapine, and fluoxetine are some of the most commonly compounded creams at Adams, although many other medications are available. 

Treats are an excellent alternative for pets that you may have trouble giving other types of medication to, particularly food-motivated pets. Treats can be flavored either chicken, beef, or fish.

Mini-tabs are small, chewable, flavored tablets for easy administration. They can be flavored with chicken, beef, or fish.

Methimazole is a thyroid medication for cats most typically compounded as a cream, liquid suspension, or capsule.

Pimobendan is a canine heart medication. While there are some commercially available strengths, we also compound a variety of strengths as ordered by a veterinarian, typically as either a capsule, treat, or liquid suspension.

Transdermal cream is applied by rubbing the prescribed amount gently into your cat’s inner ear, toward the top where there is the least amount of fur. For detailed instructions, click HERE. For an instructional video, click HERE.
