Question of the Day 4/28/2013 Is the FDA's and some states' Position on Bulk Compounding for Animals Unsound?

There are a number of reasons the FDA's position appears to be unsound in that in some cases in non-food producing animals it is medically necessary.  It can be medically necessary when:

 FDA-approved product is not commercially available, 

 FDA-approved drug is available but the needed compound cannot be prepared from it, or

 The needed drug is not in an FDA-approved, commercially available form.
