Hello,
So sorry your Kaga has had so much trouble! Can you post pictures of him just so we can see
the severity of it? Gout is a health condition as we all know, but as stated, amputating isn't
always the answer really. The uric acid levels need to come down or else the amputation will
simply be in vain & other areas will swell up also. Do you have a copy of a recent blood test
too we could see?
What medications has he been on? It is a lifetime treatment if he has full blown visceral gout,
so he will have to stay on Allopurinol for life, to manage his kidney damage.
What type of diet do you have him on?
I agree, another opinion I think would be worth it.
