Side effects are uncommon but may involve stomach upset. Caution must be taken when allopurinol is used in conjunction with certain other medications. It should not be used in pets with liver or kidney dysfunction or in red-tailed hawks.

Iguanas: Problems

Taking your pet to the vet can be a stressful experience, both for you and your furry friend. Pets often feel anxious due to unfamiliar environments, strange smells, and new faces. To ease this anxiety, start by familiarizing them with the car and the carrier well before the visit. Practice taking short, non-stressful car rides, and allow them to explore the carrier at home with treats or toys inside. You can also use calming sprays or treats to soothe their nerves on the day of the visit.
