I suspect my beardie has gout. We are going to get blood work done next week. He has a 40-gallon tank with an Arcadia 10.0 bulb, heat lamp, and basking hammock. The only time he’s in his cage is to soak in uvb/ heat. I work from home most of my days and take him outside to get natural sunlight while i work on my laptop. He gets dubias, mealworms, wax worms. He get calcium everyday as he has mbd as well. Currently I have been feeding him organic baby food (greens only) with calcium mixed in as he doesn’t want feeders. I read about black cherry juice which I’m going to buy tomorrow. We are due for X-rays and blood work but if it comes to medication i want to have different options. I know not to medicate if we are unsure of gout. For future reference, what dosage of Allopurinol is safe to give beardies? Thank you.
