Precautions

• Avoid Pregnancy Use: This should not be given to pets that are pregnant or nursing. There is a risk it could interfere with how the bones grow in young, developing animals.
• Medical Conditions: Be extra careful if a pet has kidney or liver issues. Always talk to a veterinarian about these health concerns before beginning the medication.
• Drug Interactions: Do not give this alongside milk, cheese, or calcium supplements. These items can prevent the medicine from working as well as it should.

• Skin Reactions: In uncommon instances, a pet might lose fur or develop sores on their skin, which should be watched very carefully.
• Serious Reactions: Signs such as breaking out in bumps, swelling, or having a hard time breathing mean you must get a vet’s help right away.
• Liver Symptoms: Very rarely, yellowing of the skin or eyes and appearing dazed may happen, which could point to a much more severe health issue.

Storage Information
