Shyla’s recovering

Hello,

Great, that looks fine to me. You are giving it daily right now?
If the swelling doesn't go down, medication would definitely help out. Would your vet prescribe it
for her?
I hope she is feeling better today!

So they recommending either bloodwork or them in house take a sample and look at it under a microscope (which is the cheaper option). In terms of the tart cherry powder am I mixing it with water if so, what is the ratio? I need more specifics. I only got the powder because that was what you had on your site. The vet said be cautious because of the sugar it doesn’t affect her teeth but I trust you. Also, what do I do as protein and she hasn’t had dubias in a couple mo and I know that shouldn’t be an option. I’ve been giving her giant mealworms and superworms since the surgery. She just really starting to eat

This is what the swelling currently looks like on left front hand, left back toe and right back toe.

Hello,

No worries, using the black cherry powder is not high in sugar. You can use just the amount measured in
the small white scoop, mixed with water, daily. Does she like it?
The blood test would help determine uric acid levels. Using a microscope to view fluids that were aspirated
(not from a blood test), could render results of tophi or uric acid crystals.
I would keep an eye on those toes. I know she is shedding those areas, so give her some time to shed first,
to see what the fingers looks like afterwards.
