make sure you keep them very well bydrated during the treatment, these drugs are very harsh on the kidneys. You have to be very careful when using it and avoid certain food (few vets know this to recommend or advise people of this) anything that has high oxalates should be avoided while taking it..... you want to minimize any stress on kidneys and liver in their normal diet you can. That includes spinach, collards and mustard greens, tomatoes, peppers, parsnip and all beans, most berries, star fruit and mango..... this are all really good foods for a healthy non medicated dragon, but should be reduced or eliminated while on any treatment that taxes the kidneys. SO use the white, yellow or orange veggues more while treating... and the romaine is not so bad right now, they need the extra fluid that we so often recommend not using to much romaine, you need to keep the dragon hydrated each day to flush out the kidneys.



The other thing with it is that it causes a loss of potassium, that can cause heart problems, easy enough to correct with a little diluted Gatorade daily or pedialyte. Itraconazole needs the acids in the stomach to be absorbed properly, so also use any calcium several hours after the medication is administered and not with the medication.
