Compounded Clindamycin for Pets
Generic clindamycin liquid has one of the strongest bitter tastes in the veterinary formulary. Cats refuse it; small dogs spit it. Compounded flavored suspensions solve the compliance barrier on bone, dental, and toxoplasmosis treatment.
Why Chewy Pharmacy can't fulfil this prescription
Chewy stocks commercial clindamycin capsules and oral liquid. The unflavored liquid is the actual problem — commercial product is unacceptable to most cats.
