Hi! My Archie is about a year and a half old, temps are perfect with a 150 watt basking bulb, no loose substrate and proper reptisun 10.0 uvb lighting. I noticed his front limbs were swollen and he has been sleeping more than usual, so I took him to the vet. He agreed they were swollen but did not think it was gout, although no actual diagnosis was made. He wants me to come back in a few weeks and do blood work if everything stays the same, but I'm so sure it's gout that I don't want to wait. I went out and purchased black cherry juice, but am having a hard time getting him to drink it. What else can I do?! I do not want to go back to the vet, as I feel he has no idea about bearded dragons. I am trying to soak veggies in the juice and hope he'll eat them in the morning. I'll attach a photo once I figure out how. Thanks so much!!
Also, just an opinion on whether or not you think this is gout would be so helpful!! I feed him dubia roaches and veggies such as carrots, turnips, collard greens and blueberries.
