Summary: A board-certified veterinary dentist is requesting the inclusion of doxycycline suspension on the list of bulk drug substances for compounding. The commenter argues that the liquid form is necessary to provide lower concentrations (as low as 10 mg) that are not available in tablet form and are safer for cats with specific health conditions.
I need doxycycline suspension for small animals more specifically cats because the tablet is often too high if a concentration and is implicated in esophageal structures with tablet administration. As a board certified veterinary dentist I prescribe this medication very often for cats suffering from feline chronic gingivistomatitis and often need to reduce the concentration to as low as 10 mg which is not available in tablet form.
