Allopurinol for gout and brumation

[ambermic00]

Do I still give my beardie his Allopurinol and supplements while he's in brumation? He hasn't started bumation yet but I know it's coming soon. He's been on allopurinol and supplements for over a few months now and is doing great.

She can probably answer that question.

Hello,

That is always a hard situation to deal with when they are on medication for gout.
The best I can say is that you likely need to give medication at least a few days a
week if at all possible, depending on the severity of gout.
They do slow down so it makes it hard to medicate, but if you can encourage him to
bask a few days weekly that would be helpful. You never want a relapse that is too
painful because it makes it hard for them to recover from it.
