Hello,
How is Bert doing now that he isn't getting the antibiotic now?
If his uric acid levels were elevated, then his kidneys may be having a hard time which is what they had suggested maybe gout, so an antibiotic would do more harm than good in that instance.
If there weren't able to find any infection perhaps there isn't any or much of one that needs to be treated.
I would give probiotics to help get the system back in order if the meds upset his tummy. It sounds like he isn't doing too badly though, overall other than wanting to be hand fed, etc.
Bobbing & being active are very positive signs too.
