Don't worry about compounding it. This one is cinch to give. All of the pills of Florinef/Fludrocort (the second is the generic name and the most affordable way I have found to get it is to get the generic from a regular pharmacy) that I have have ever had have been serrated, so they can be safely cut into chunks because serrated pills ahve the meds evenly distributed throughout. So, we just cut, crush and then give mixed with with Ferretone or Nutrical, depending on what the ferret likes best. It is one med we have NEVER had major problems giving. In fact, usually, when mixed with one of those two things it is treated as a treat by the ferrets.

What dosage should I have it compounded into??
