Hello,
Thanks for posting your blood tests here, they don't look terrible. The normal uric acid levels
are best when under 3.5mg/dl so it is a bit high. How is the swelling doing, has it gotten any
worse?
A lot of times uric acid crystals aren't always seen very well if at all on x-rays or in cultures.
Symptoms usually are a good indicator of gout as well as the higher uric acid readings. The
only other thing that it could be would be septic arthritis infection type of issue but I doubt it
is based on the appearance.
The flukers gut load, is that a dry feed? What are the ingredients in that, can you look that up
on the label for me?
The black or tart cherry for human use is perfectly fine for reptile use so you can use it full
strength, daily. Just .5ml to 1ml daily is fine. You can dilute it with some water also for her.
That is good she takes water from a dropper pretty well also! Is she still shedding some now?
What else did the vet suggest?
