Hello!
Sorry for the delay, a very crazy weekend. I did review the blood work. How is your dragon
doing today? The uric acid levels are higher than what I like to see. What did the vet say
regarding the blood test, did he mention the uric acid levels at all?
The calcium supplementation you are using, is it plain without D3?
For now, I would work on trying to get some extra oral fluids into him & if you can find some
black or tart cherry juice extract, that would be helpful to start him on that also, daily. It can
help bring down uric acid crystals, to some extent. It doesn't look like he has any swelling or
puffiness on his hands/feet, etc?
The AST & ALT are slightly elevated, which are liver enzyme readings. The calcium levels
are fine, & so are the protein levels, too. You could also consider getting him on some milk
thistle for liver helps too, either liquid or powder is fine. The white blood cell counts are a bit
elevated but sometimes they can become elevated under stress. Is he possibly dehydrated?
That can cause stress on the kidneys, throwing off other levels & making things imbalanced.
The Glucose readings are fine, so that is good to see there.
What do you gutload your insects with, what type of feed do you give them?
Let us know how he is doing.
