Do you have new pictures of him we could see?
Be sure to not give too much protein so it doesn't tax his kidneys too much. The baby food can
get them to gain some weight. You could make just simple greens slurries with squash & greens
without protein for a few feedings so that he doesn't put too much weight on.
Is he still active?
You are sure he is getting the correct dose of allopurinol?
Let us know how he is doing.

I can imagine that you were very close to your boy Pablo. A couple things to keep in mind.....reptile medicine is still behind dog/cat + mammal care by a long shot so there is still not as much info , clinical studies, etc. to determine exact cause of some illnesses in them. Even with humans, Dr.'s still have many mystery illnesses [ either in diagnosis ] or in curing ] that lead to debilitating symptoms or at times death. Look at the new disease that's causing polio like symptoms in children just recently in the U.S. Dr.'s have no cure and don't know exactly what is happening. And there are many other diseases as well. I've had a neuro problem in the past as well that had an unknown cause.
So it's not surprising that some cases with our reptiles will go unsolved. At least you did everything you could to help your dragon, as much as it hurts it will pass in time and you will remember the good times. Try not to dwell on the fact that there was no conclusive cause of death, just know that you were a good, caring owner and Pablo had the best life that he could have with you. Take care and please accept my sympathy. My heart goes out to you and I hope that you can manage your illness as well. Best wishes !
