    Gout in juvenile bearded dragon. Swollen front legs.

    Just for the record the 100mg tablet (finely crushed) mixed with 1cc water and given .05cc was coming out more like a paste. The vet recommended mixing the 100mg tablet (finely crushed) mixed with 2cc water and given .1cc medicine daily instead. She said they calculate dosing by 20mg of...

    Gout in juvenile bearded dragon. Swollen front legs.

    I have a 6-7 month old beardie who about two months ago started showing signs of swollen front legs/feet. She is a beautiful orange herp who was probably so inbred she has never been very “normal.” A month ago I took her to a vet that was absolutely worthless without running a variety of...

    Gout In Juvenile Beardie
