She is on Ponazuril, two doses this week and then two doses in two weeks. She is doing totally fine! We did stop dubias and moved to BSFL and have been adding bee pollen to her salads. She’s eating her greens just fine, as well as the BSFL. Looks like the joint swelling has totally resolved...

She’s doing well! I can’t believe a week ago she couldn’t walk because she is zooming everywhere now! As for what the vet said about her glucose, his first instinct was GNT but because she’s getting better and not worse, he’s unsure. So we are taking it day to day. I picked up some bee pollen...

Hi again :) Here is her entire chemistry panel: GLUCOSE 379 mg/dL BUN <0.1 mg/dL URIC ACID 5.0 mg/dL PHOSPHORUS 4.8 mg/dL CALCIUM 10.9 mg/dL SODIUM 145 mmol/L POTASSIUM 3.8 mmol/L CHLORIDE 105 mmol/L TOTAL PROTEIN 7.7 g/dL ALBUMIN 1.8 g/dL GLOBULIN 5.9 g/dL AST 8 U/L CHOLESTEROL 80 mg/dL...

Updates galore here: Eva is feeling SO MUCH better. Eating better, walking better, the only swelling left on her body is her left right ankle and even that's so so so much better. Her bloodwork results came back, and while it looks like she doesn't have gout, she does have elevated glucose...

Just waiting on bloodwork results, vet said it'd be 24-48 hours. He said he felt that she was a lot stronger than when he held her last week when we were in originally and that she even tried to fight them a bit when they were taking blood. Lot different from just laying there last week! After...

Just an update - I talked to the vet yesterday requesting to bring her in for bloodwork but they had to have the vet call me about her fecal results before they'd schedule anything, in case it changed things. they couldn't see the results, only that it was positive for something. He called this...

Just a quick update with some shots from yesterday and today. The swelling does appear to be going down. Still calling the vet tomorrow but we have a little more hope that we can make her feel better. She still isn’t walking much, and when she does it’s slow/clumsy and she has to rest after a...

I just realized I never posted her age or size! She’s a very small juvenile, that’s why I was under the impression that she would automatically have a poor prognosis. (Her exact age is unknown but vet said her joints haven’t fused yet so she’s still very young) And yes, we do plan to upgrade...

Just adding a copy of her x-ray to the thread.

My main question is if it’s normal for gout to come on so quickly. Also, what is Psuedogout and would it show on the X-ray she received on Wednesday? I am just trying to learn more about the conditions before our vet opens on Monday, when she can get the blood work. He had mentioned last week he...

We rescued our Eva a couple of weeks ago from a less than ideal home. Prior to her living with us I have almost no information on her husbandry or diet. She came with an enclosure, 29x11, suitable for babies and small juveniles. She is ready to upgrade I believe, however please forgive me in...
