Part of a Veterinary Plan
Veterinarians may prescribe fluoxetine as part of a broader behavioral plan, such as separation-anxiety or aggression-related care. The veterinarian determines whether the medication fits the animal's situation.
Prescriber-led preparation
Compounding is used when the prescription needs something different from a ready-made product.
Fluoxetine suspension is compounded when a veterinarian prescribes a liquid form for a dog or cat behavioral care plan.
