system, especially blood pressure and heart rate, and should be used with caution in
animals with cardiovascular diseases.
Care should be exercised in treating animals with severe renal or hepatic
insufficiency, diabetes mellitus, hyperadrenocorticism, glaucoma, hyperthyroidism or
other metabolic disorders.
In bitches less than 1 year old the possibility of anatomical disorders contributing to
incontinence should be considered prior to treatment.
