So after a vet visit today, my 9 year old Beardie was diagnosed with gout.
Her left front leg is very painful, and she will not use it.
We are supposed to be giving her some black cherry extract daily as well as cutting out proteins from feeders completely till symptoms improve (proteins in vegetation is fine).
Her leg swelled up and became painful only a few days ago, it was a few days after being fed a pinky mouse that was meant for our snake but wouldnt eat it when in blue.
We didn’t want to waste it, so we gave it to her.
I was wondering if anyone else on here has dealt with gout in bearded dragons, and what I can do to make her feel more comfortable. I had an idea I wanted to try, my vet is closed so I can’t get their opinion. But I was thinking of taking some soft gauze and wrapping her arm to her body. She keeps it straight back close to her body anyways, and I figured it’d help to prevent her from having to use it too much.
I greatly appreciate any help and advice!
