Hello,
How is he doing today? That's good to hear the injection went well, they can be a little tricky
to do. Gout is elusive & hard to diagnose. The blood serum levels are sometimes normal or
just a little high which could be related to diet or dehyration.
Let us know what the aspiration test results yield. That should help out with diagnosis.
If uric acid crystals are present then they can go from there. Since there is swelling like that
I think it's probably early gout developing.
