So I think my 6-7 month old may have gout and the good reptile vet in the area cant get us in for almost a week. Monday morning one of his front feet was swollen I thought he may have got it hung up in his hammock but this morning his other front foot has swelling and one if his back knees and he seems very sore and relunct to move around.
Hes housed in a 40gal exoterra. basking spot is between 110 and 115 cool side averages around 80 with a cool down to 76 at night. He has a zoomed 10.0 t5 mounted insinde the tank calcium dusting feeders 3 times a week. He gets fed kale,mustard greens, dandelion greens and occasionally a spring mix daily along with superworms usually 2 a day, 3 or 4 waxworms a few times a week, calciworms a few a week and we go through about 60 crickets per week. About a a week and a half ago I got hornworms as a treat he got 2 a day for 5 days then refused them. The swelling started the next morning. We also do warm soaks a few times a week and take him out side to bask for 30mins 4 days a week. I went and got black cherry concentrate this morning just incase. What are your thoughts and is there anything else I can do in the mean time ?
