Hello, I have recently gone to the vet and they have done blood work, turns out that my beardy has an extremely high uric acid level, along with a high phosphorus level.
She is a 9 month 13 inch 200 gram bearded dragon
She has a 21 mg/dL high uric acid level (normal levels are 1-10). She also has a 6.6 mg/dL phosphorus level (normal max is 5.7). Her calcium levels are within norms. What I am asking is; if you guys can recommend anything to lower the levels, I am currently using Septra(coccidia didn't die last time, its a pretty bad infection), Meloxicam , Allopurinol, and Probenecid.
I am thinking about switching at least partially to a alfalfa pellet mush (or fresh) diet (since its high in plant protein). I am also buying black cherry extract and adding it to the water.
What other measures can I do to lower the acid levels and slow the disease?
What methods should I use to administer fluids to her. I have been doing it orally but dont know how much ml i should give to her daily.
Thanks for reading.
