Allopurinol is a xanthine oxidase enzyme inhibitor that is often prescribed for treating renal disease, especially
avian gout (acute attacks, tophi, joint destruction, and/or nephropathy). Allopurinol decreases the production of uric acid by stopping the biochemical reactions that precede its formation.
Caution: Allopurinol can become nephrotoxic to poultry who become dehydrated while taking this medication. Make sure they have constant access to a source of fresh water.
