[QUOTE="ctwoo, post: 2041359, member: 118166"] Hello everyone, I am writing to ask for some advice regarding gout. My bearded dragon confirmed gout when he was just 3-month old. He has to allopurinol for more than 9 months then. He got better after that and did the blood test, everything was normal. Swollen legs and hands remain a bit, but he can walk normally. He stopped allopurinol for all 3 months. Now, he is around 1 year old and 9 months. I find one of his arms swollen again. I took him to the vet, and did the blood test the ua figure is normal. The vet also took some samples from the swollen arm to do the [B]aerobe and facultative anaerobe[/B] test. Nothing found.... My Vet guesses the swollen is crystal due to gout. My Vet said sometimes gout won't show in the blood test. Is it possible? Here are his pictures. Last vet visit, my vet only asked me to give him allopurinol in the long term though the blood test was normal. Can allopurinol be taken in the long term? Is it harmful? He only eats around 6-7 dubia roaches in 1 week. Not willing to eat his salad. Only have one or two bites a day. Any gout special care advice for me, please? [/QUOTE]
