Hello, I have a couple quick questions for anyone who has dealt with bearded dragon having gout or know the subject well. First of our beardie was fighting Coccidia for months and pretty much stopped growing and shedding. He's around 6 to 7 months old and is around 145G. He was just diagnosed with gout but the vet says it doesn't seem to be visceral and we are gonna try to treat it. I'm wondering how many ML of water should he have a day? He does good taking water so that shouldn't be a problem. Also I started giving him tart cherry juice to try to lower uric acid levels and the vet has Allopurinol ordered as well but I'm not sure how much cherry juice is enough and how much is too much? He seems to like it so that's good. I've heard a lot of bad stories and a few good ones so I have hope any advice welcome. Last night he actually started to do this thing where he'd open his mouth wide and make like a yelp. Vet xrayed him today and doesn't think he has uri but that it's a pain response and gave him pain meds and he's seemed to have stopped. Any tTIS
