HI, Ive been reading these threads and think my buddy has gout, we have rehomed him from a friend of the family and not sure how old he is but he is and adult. I have previously given him cherries to eat which seemed to help his symptoms but he longer will eat them so I want to try black cherry juice. I have seen you recommend .5ml daily, I want to ask you if I buy it concentrated do I need to dilute it first or is .5ml of concentrate ok? also can I buy powder or a supplement. The juices say they last up to 2 months which would mean a lot of waste and expense, just want to find the most cost effective treatment for him.
Also I have seen on a thread about allopurinol, not sure if it was you or another mod but they said they would be able to inform where to get this (if needed) and the dosage.
Thanks

Also just thought, would frozen cherries blended be a good supplement?
Thanks
I have found frozen cherries, have syringe fed .5ml but dragon finds this stressful, I am however able to "sneak" some pieces of defrosted cherries into his mouth whilst he is gapping and he then chews and swallows so isn't stressful, does anyone know how many cherries or partial cherries I would need to give daily to be the equivalent of .5ml juice. Last year he would eat fresh cherry but wont this year.
Thanks
Tracie Can you advise me please. Thanks
