Florida Bill 1049 Enables Veterinarians to Prescribe Compounded Drugs

A veterinarian with more than a decade and a half of experience, Brian Daubs, DVM, provides surgical treatments to pets as the chief surgeon for the Animal Specialty & Emergency Hospital in Rockledge, Florida. Dr. Brian Daubs also belongs to the Florida Veterinary Medical Association (FVMA), which lauded the 2015 passage of new legislation allowing veterinarians to prescribe compound medications to pet patients. The legislation, known as House Bill 1049, proposed an amendment to the Florida Pharmacy Act granting veterinarians the ability to administer and prescribe compounded medications to patients. Florida governor Rick Scott signed the legislation into law on June 10, 2015, with the notice that the amendment would take effect on July 1, 2015. The bill’s passage represents a major legislative success for FVMA and corrects unintentional effects associated with a Florida Board of Pharmacy rule in June 2014 that prevented veterinary practitioners from dispensing compounded medications to pet owners and caregivers. Since the negative June 2014 ruling, FVMA members participated in lobbying efforts to reverse the restrictions on compounded medication dispensation. FVMA had endorsed House Bill 1049 as its priority legislation and contributed the bill’s success through partnerships with, and support from, numerous organizations.

Degenerative Disc Disease in Dogs

Brian Daubs, DVM, performs surgical procedures on pets to help them live longer, healthier lives. Among the types of surgery Dr. Brian Daubs undertakes at the Animal Specialty and Emergency Clinic in Rockledge, Florida, is a procedure on dogs to address degenerative disc disease. Degenerative disc disease is a condition in which the outer part of the spinal disc spontaneously degenerates and eventually ruptures, or “slips.” Common in middle age, it can occur in all types of dogs but is particularly prevalent in certain popular breeds like dachshunds, Pekingese, Beagles, Corgi, Shih Tzu, Maltese, among others. The condition often reveals itself after an awkward fall or jump, though the rupture typically stems not from the traumatic event itself but from the chronic degeneration of the disc. A ruptured disc can have severe consequences for a dog. Depending on where the problem occurs in the spine, it can cause paralysis or extreme pain. In these situations, the dog needs veterinary attention as soon as possible. Surgery to address spinal cord pressure is often required, as well as extended periods of rest and recuperation following surgery. Decompressive surgery has a very good outcome, usually greater than 90 % return to normal function.
