Dog loves taking her meds
From UndisclosedComments about Piroxicam (Compounded) 4mg/mL Suspension (Beef), per mLCouldn't have gotten a better product or service! Rush ordered a different flavor and I was promptly contacted by Vetrxdirect that the flavor was no longer available and how they could best resolve it. We decided to try another flavor and my dog loves it! She looks forward to her dose every night and I'm happy to see her improve.-

A least expensive alternative to Chemotherapy
From UndisclosedComments about Piroxicam (Compounded) 1.9mg, CapsuleI could not afford the normal chemotherapy treatments at the vet office, i was given this prescription for my 13yrs shihsu who has been diagnosed with cancer and other medical issues. I have been giving him this medication for 2 months now and on his last routine check up dr told us he was doing better. I know there is no cure for cancer but at least this medicine helps him and may prolong his life longer than what dr anticipated. This site has the best prices by far. Will continue to purchase this medicine for my sweet boy JJ. -

Piroxicam has really helped my dog with bladder cancer.
From Janesville WisconsinComments about Piroxicam (Compounded)Back in May 2015 my dog was placed on piroxicam to treat his transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. The vet hospital at Univ. of Wisconsin estimated he had about 6 months to live and that was over a year ago! He did develop a GI bleed on piroxicam, was placed on misoprostol and sucralfate and hasn't had any GI problems since. We are pleasantly surprised with how well this has worked for him without being too invasive or too expensive. -

I have a rx for 1.2 mg piroxicam for my cat who has a mammary tumor. Can I order the 4 mg/ ml suspension from you using that rx? I currently have capsules that I break and mix with water to give to her so ordering the suspension would save me a step.?

Sandra, If the veterinarian wrote the prescription for the capsule formulation we are not able to fill for the suspension as written. However, if the veterinarian is willing to write the prescription for the suspension formulation we could compound this for your cat. Thank you, VetRxDirect
