Cheryl ,
I received your medications for Kenji a few weeks ago. So far he has tolerated them very well and has a follow up appointment next week with Dr. Macina at the Animal Medical Center in NYC.
Kenji is a 3 year-old Shiba Inu with a chronic skin condition that may be caused by environmental allergies. Attached is are a couple of photos of Kenji.
I hope you enjoy his photos. I think he is very cute.

I loved your news letter and I am sending you Oreo's photo for your gallery. My little Oreo is an eight year shih-tzu who went completely blind in May of 2008, but despite his blindness and issues with allergies and now a terrible ear infection, Oreo is my joy and I am pleased to share him visually with you. We received your compound recommended by our vet Dr. Tom LoBasso, and we hope this eases and clears up Oreo's ears, I shall keep you informed of his progress.

Dear CCC,
Included is a picture of our Maltese, "Mousse". We are thankful it was easy to get our seizure drug in liquid form from your pharmacy. Mousse enjoys the chicken flavor. Thank you for being so easy to work with and hopefully we can get Mousse's seizures under control. He is a wonderful happy-go-lucky dog and we are hoping to have him around for years to come!

Dear Cheryl,
Here is the picture you requested of Tige, pronounced like piggy with a T. He has been with us for 17 years and is now starting to have home health issues. But he continues to be a big part of our family. Thank you for your interest and your medication. Tige seems to love his new "tuna" med.

This is our dog Abbey. You made her valium supposities for help with her seizures. Thanks. She is about 11 years old and an Australian Kelpie mix. She is a wonderful dog. My husband and I own an animal boarding facility and it's very good to know of a pharmacy that does medications for pets too. I will keep your card if any customers ask us about a pharmacy for their pet.

To the Prescription Compounding Specialists,
I was asked to send a picture over 5 years ago! CCC has been filling Rx for my cat Pistachio for almost 5 years! My beloved fiesty girl will be 17 in March. Thanks to the efforts of the professionals at CCC, we look forward to good health in 2010!

 |
| Thank you for all your assistance in helping us control Max's seizures. He is a great little guy who also suffers from mitral valve disease. Otherwise he's really "into" chasing squirrels and barking at the mailman! God bless our sweet little pets! |

Dear Creative Compounding Center Inc.,
I give Stickles her medication with a small piece of bread with peanut butter. The picture shows how she really likes it!

To all of Mittie's friends at Compounding Center,
Thank you so much for helping Mittie have a better life. He is 13 years old and only weighs 7 lbs. His normal weight was 15 lbs. The hyperthyroidism has taken a toll. So far I can apply the meds to his ear. I hope it helps.

Dear Cheryl and Staff,
Attached is a picture of Xanadu. She is the traditional coat Pembroke Welsh Corgi she is eight years old.
She is with her sister Crumpet, who is a "fluffy" coated Corgi she will soon be 7.
The picture of all 3 was taken back in August of 2009, it was right after this Xanadu was diagnosed with KCS (dry eye). We are using 3 kinds of drops, 3 times a day.
TJ (Tom Jones) on the left is 20 months old, fluffy sable boy. Xanadu is in the middle and Crumpet is on the right.
Hope you enjoy these pictures. Thank you for the great service and the speedy delivery. |

Winston is a very sweet, lovable little guy that we adopted from Homeward Bound Rescue this past August. Who knew he would have so many health issues after we had him for a couple of months;
but we love him and he truly deserves the best care we can give him since the first four years of his life were spent in a puppy mill. He's a trooper! |

Elvis is a German Wirehaired Pointer who hates water and didn't have his tail cut off. Thank you for making up his new seizure medication. Diane

This picture of Sasha is one of our favorites as it was taken the day before my husband hadto install kid-proof latches on all sliding doors, drawers, and kitchen cabinets! Sasha
can open just about anything! She was so proud on this day, she finally got the last of the doors to open, and she stayed in the closet until this picture was taken....Thank you all for giving us a second chance. She's only 8 1/2 now. Sherry and Tom

I have given our yellow lab, Rosie, 2 doses of your medicine so far and she absolutely loves it....gobbled it up. Thank you.
Rosie is a beautiful, friendly, loving yellow labrador retriever. She loves everyone and everyone loves her. She thinks everyone she meets is there to see her and pet her....and, of course, give her belly rubs. She will trot up to greet you....Lean against your legs....then slide down to the ground and roll over so you can rub her tummy.
We adopted Rosie 2 days before Christmas, 2008. In early June 2009 Rosie was diagnosed with Mast Cell Cancer and underwent surgery. It was thought at the time that the surgery had gotten all of the cancer. Earlier this month, we noticed another lump and Rosie had a second surgery to remove the lump and a lymph node. Again the lab came back with Mast Cell Cancer, and had spread. Now Rosie is going to be treated with Palladia. So, I'm told that your medicine will help protect her stomach while she is on the Palladia. We appreciate everything you do. Michele

To the nice people at Creative Compounding,
"I recently received my first prescription from you through my vet at Harvey Animal Hospital in Detroit. I thought that the personal touch you provide with pictures of your staff and the request for pictures of my pet was pretty special. It's nice to know that there are people and businessmen and women that will take a litle time out of their very busy lives to emphasize a critical aspect of life-community. Not just for the two legged variety.
Attached please find two pictures of my youngest cat - a kitten named Orca. She found me at the Humane Society. I hadn't planned on getting another cat (I already had 3) but she reached out and put her paw on my forehead and that was all she wrote. I changed her name to Orca because although she was just 9 months old, she immediately began to dominate my other two cats....because she is black and white Orca seemed like the logical choice"! Pam and Orca

"I want to thank you very much for compounding the corrrect dosage for "Syn" she is the baby of our family. When we learned that she had developed bladder cancer we were and are still devastated. We have lost two other dogs one to prostate cancer and one to kidney failure. We along with many others have a rough time at times like this. And due to your help she might be able to be with us longer than one without the help of your company!". Thank you for all your help. The V Family

Hi,
"My name is Riley Brannon. A month or so ago you made me medicine for my eye. I was born with only partial vision in my left eye because of herpes. Sometimes it acts up and it hurts. The medicine you made fixed my eye, and I'm all better. My mom is very happy. I'm 13 months old and live with my sister and three other cats. Thanks again". Your friend, Riley

Dear Staff, C.C.C.,
"Mama Socks" came to us in 1998. I fed the birds under our maple tree in the back yard. One day this kitty came and sat under the tree, pretending to be a pigeon. She had a litter and worked her way into our house and into our hearts. She was my wife's pet, but she passed away 4-16-09. Since then "Mama Socks" has been the boss of the house, and my best friend". Blessings, "Mama Socks" and Jack

Dear Creative Compounding Center,
"My cat , Jaydee, has been sick for quite some time. I recently changed vets and have gone through meds and procedures to find what's wrong. Due to her not responding, Dr. Chris G. consulted with another and suggested your pharmacy. By day 3 or 4, I saw results, what a relief. I just hope she continues to progress". Thanks, Melissa & Jaydee

"This is "Jake" Shilts. He's 16 years old. He was a 1-year old stray cat that was brought to us a few months after we moved into our house. Someone saw a dog chase him up a tree in the woods behind our house. They brought him to us, and asked if he was ours. One of his paws was bleeding, and he looked scared, and hungry, so we took him in. He was so grateful that we brought him inside our home. He would rub up against us, and walk around our legs. I would laugh, and call him 'Jake the Snake', because he felt like a snake circling through my legs. When we took him to the vet, we officially decided to call him "Jake". Fortunately for us, no one claimed him, so he became our to keep, love, and enjoy. Last month, we found out that Jake has advanced heart disease. Our hearts are very sad. We are so grateful to you for creating the ointments to rub in his ears. He's never been a pill taker. He acts like a possessed creature when you try to open his mouth for a pill. We were thrilled when a vet told us about your clinic. The medicine has helped Jake's breathing. We truly appreciate what you do. Thank you so much". Sincerely, Howard & Barbara MI.

"I am finally sending the picture of Cosmo for your photo album. He is 14 years old. He is much thinner in this picture than he normally is, he was never fat, just long and lean. We are very grateful for his medication in liquid form. We started with pills, he objected vigorously. Even with two of us trying to get a half a pill down him, it was like WW3. He is very powerful and also very stubborn. We tried the liquid by putting it in his mouth - no luck. Then putting the liquid in a small bowl with a tiny bit of his moist food, he ate it willingly. Peace in the house. Thank you." Kay Pruden. PS. He is also very talkative and easily understood.

Good Morning everyone!!
My Umbrella cockatoo Popcorn and I would like to say thank you for the wonderful, and quick, service. Popcorn has recently been diagnosed with epilepsy and she just started taking Phenobarbital to control her seizures. She seems to enjoy the peanut butter flavor that you made for her and has been reacting well *fingers crossed* to the medication so far. Thank you for being so helpful and kind during a stressful time for both of us.
Here is a picture so you can put a face *and beak* with the name
Thanks again
Deena Jeffs & Popcorn. |

Cheryl and Jerry:
Thanks to your company, our kittens Gilbert and Rain are healthy for the first time in their young lives! Rescued from the New York City streets, our kittens had a parasite that took several courses of different medications to treat. They were scared of people in general, and even more skittish around strangers forcing terrible tasting medication on them. Finally, our Vet referred us to you.
After happily gulping down your shrimp flavored compound, the kittens are finally were they should be. Rain no longer weights only 3lbs. and both are energetic, happy and playful. I am enclosing the first photos ever taken of our new additions. We will definitely keep your company in mind as they continue to grow.
Sincerely,
Debbie

Dear Cheryl:
I want to send you a picture of Mimi Baron, My 11 year old Wire Hair Fox Terrier She is quite a beauty but has terrible allergies and this is one of the rare pictures where she had all of her fur and no open sores.
Thanks to the medicine you have made, she has once again become scab free and her hair is coming in. Her ears are finally soft inside and she has stopped scratching. I just started with Dr. Macina at the animal Medical Center and finally believe that she will stop scratching for the first time in her life.
I’m happy to know that your company exists. I can’t swallow pills and haven’t been able since I was a child to find any pharmacist who will compound medication. I remember being young in Omaha, Nebraska and my mother having the pharmacist make my medications into a liquid or powder. Now one is lucky if the pharmacist speaks English in New York and is able to tell you that the medicine can be safely dissolved or crushed.
Thanks Again.
Regards, Marcy B.

Mr. Gerald DeFresne, RPH, founder of Creative Compounding Center, passed away on April 26, 2008. He graduated from Wayne State University in 1966. His pharmacist career began at Cunningham Drugs in Detroit. He worked at independent pharmacies and pharmacies he had purchased between 1980 and 1999. Loving compounding, he and his wife Cheryl opened Creative Compounding Center in Lapeer, Michigan in 1999. They moved their business to Imlay City in 2004 and built a state of the art compounding lab when they outgrew their building in Lapeer.
