I have been reading like crazy about gout and feel very sure that our Sammy has it. We have noticed some swelling and thought that it was BMD or a vitamin deficiency and changed supplements. This week she has become very lethargic and won’t eat.

I can send pics, husbandry info, etc but I am hoping that someone knows the dosage information for Allopurinol. My father has gout and he has 300mg tablets. I saw that some people have waited weeks for the online medicine orders to come in and read where one beardie died before the medicine arrived. I have given her juice/water with a syringe today and have been trying baby food, etc.

I do believe that we were feeding her way too many dusted crickets because she preferred those over ANY greens or fruit.

I appreciate any/all advice!

Hello,

I can definitely help with the allopurinol dosing. I just need your dragon's weight.
How long has she been showing swelling?
I will PM you my email, so that we can discuss it further, to help out your girl. What is
her age?
You can also review your tank setup more with us here, too.
Have you gotten some black or tart cherry extract to get her started too?

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
