Interesting, I would also like to know if anyone else has tried this and if so what dose would be.

So update on Leaf, the swelling is not to much better and his other foot in a little swollen too. I have started with the black cherry in hopes that will help too. Other then the swelling he seems fine. He walks around fine, eat good, poops good, etc. Thinking not much more I can do other then...

I could not find chicken or turkey baby food without gravy but did get a sweet potato one to try. Oh did he love it! I wish I had tried that sooner! I am going to look online for chicken and/or turkey.

I have never really tried to syringe feed him. Is this the kind of stuff your talking about? https://ibb.co/fOjqS5

I have a hard time getting him to eat much plant food so he does eat crickets and super worms a lot. Other then that the only other her gets is bok choy and dandelion. I do not know if any of those is high in protein. The only thing I had actually added before this started was canned crickets...

Update - Still giving the medicine but I have not seen much change in the swelling. Does not seem to be bothering him but still very swollen. Not sure what more to do. ? https://ibb.co/gkMrh5

Starting to have a little issue. Leaf has started to not be as easy to give the medicine now. He keeps his jaw so tight now that trying to pry it open is just about impossible. Anybody have any tips on what I could do? ....... The swelling seems to still be going down still but very slowly. Will...

I had gone away on vacation and my pet sitter was great with giving Leaf his medicine. I got back yesterday and Leaf still has a bit swelling but definitely looks like it is going down. I also notice he started another shedding on his beard and side of face and also on his swollen hand. He...

So finally someone called me back today!! Yay. So this one tells me "yes the vet is saying gout and they will call the medication in to be compounded but this will not cure it but may help prevent future problems/ flare ups" obviously the technician I was speaking to before was not getting the...

Well the vet never called me again and I did not realize they close early today so I missed my chance to call again. So another day goes by. Very frustrating. But at least he seems to be doing ok. He has been walking on it better but still swelling. I will be giving him a second dose of the...

He did pretty good with taking the anti-inflammatory. He has been sleeping well though this whole thing with no black beard at all. I have noticed the swelling down some today so looks like anti-inflammatory is working for that. I have a call into to the vet for him to call me. Will be asking...

I picked up the pain/anti-inflammatory yesterday and gave him some this morning. Now I am still working on getting them giving me the allopurinol

By the way what would be a good normal range for the uric acid?

Not much change. I gave him some of the pain/anti-inflammatory this morning. Waited all day for vet to call but never did. I will be calling first thing in the morning to ask for the allopurinol. Swelling looks the same. I have been taking him outside a bit to get some sun soaking which he...

The vet had initially made me increase the calcium because he said that the bone was light in the front of legs. I had initially thought it was a girl but had them sex him and they did it with a catheter and told me it was a boy. I have always used the Reptie 10 bulb. So you think I should...

https://ibb.co/i86BF5 I also got copies of all the records.

So I just called vet to ask them to please give me meds to start treating gout and I was given an attitude after they told me the best thing was to give him an anti inflammatory right now. I got upset and told them that is not treating anything and it did not take the swelling down at all last...

I messaged you back Traci ..... I will be picking up blood work results shortly. I also think I might tell them I only want two doeses of pain meds and to go ahead and give me the meds for gout and just start treating him for that. In the mean time will will post blood work here as well. I am...

I totally agree with you and is pretty much what I just said to them about just giving pain meds. So I am picking it up tomorrow morning the meds and they said to give it two days to see how he is because I expressed my concern that it is all nice and well we are making him comfortable but what...
