What is Neomycin Compounded?
Neomycin is given to pets to treat and prevent bacteria in the intestines. It is often given before surgery of the intestines. Compounding is beneficial in instances where a specific dosage is unavailable or in different forms to make it easier to dose your pet. Neomycin Compounded requires a prescription from your veterinarian.
