Avoid in growing animals (cartilage damage risk). Not for use in lactating dairy cattle. Injection site reactions possible. Avoid concurrent use with cation-containing products.
Species-specific contraindications and adverse-reaction reports for quails may differ from canine / feline reference data — consult the primary citations listed with each rule.
