+
Major reactions to sulphonamides are uncommon but the following are the most common of the side effects recorded:
+
* Rapid intravenous injection can lead to muscle weakness, ataxia and collapse. This has only been recorded in cattle and horses.
+
* They can precipitate in tubular fluid resulting in renal tubular damage.
+
* Dobermans have had serious allergic reactions to them including immune-mediated polyarthritis, thrombocytopenia and haemolytic anaemia.
+
* Severe hepatotoxicity has been noted in some dogs.
+
* Long dosage regimens of Sulphonamides have resulted in keratoconjunctivitis sica/'dry eye' in dogs.
+
* Sulphonamides inhibit thyroid gland function and so mild signs of hypothyroidism have been seen in dogs that have had intesive dosage regimens.
