[QUOTE="McJarman, post: 1997161, member: 115697"] My 2 year old has developed swollen limbs which have impaired mobility and he has reduced appetite and excretion. Following x-rays the Vet has said this is due to "efflusions" in the joints. It was expected that this would be caused by gout and possible kidney problems however the blood tests showed kidney and liver function were fine. Apparently there was an abnormal (high I believe) white blood cell count (although it could have been something similar to do with some sort of raised immune response) I will update when I get it explained in writing. Vet has prescribed meloxidyl/meloxicam for the inflammation and pain and antibiotic (ceftazidime) injections which I have begun. Has anyone had a similar experience to this and therefore any insight into what could be wrong? The vet said it was a very rare blood result and they had only seen it 5/6 times in their several years exotics veterinary experience. I know this is a bit vague but I'm looking for insight into what I'm dealing with. [/QUOTE]
