Hi,
So I have a female bearded dragon named Ahsoka, who has been diagnosed with gout. She doesn’t seem to have any pain from the gout as the tophi thankfully didn’t form in a part of the joint that would make it hard to walk. She’s been on Allopurinol for a little while, but I do need to get another dosage as I accidentally left the vial at my home in South Florida (I’m up in Orlando for college). Anyways, she’s always had very bad diarrhea, and no matter what I do, nothing seems to help. She’s been to the vet hundreds of times for stool checks, and they usually all come back negative for parasites. The stool is almost completely liquid with a gnarly odor. She did have flagelles at one point, which we treated, but that didn’t change anything. Ahsoka seems to have the vets scratching their heads with no idea what could possibly be wrong with her. Numerous X-rays have been done as well, and nothing has shown up on the imaging. The vet thinks it’s possible she may have some sort of autoimmune disease that is comorbid with her gout, which is most likely the case. She also did get spayed for preovulatory ovarian stasis back in 2021. This afternoon, she finally pooped after a few days and out came a big chunk of urate and what looks like a piece of flesh or tumor. It almost looked like remnants of her ovaries that just made its way out of her system. She’s on an all green diet, because gout and protein just don’t really work well together, so I know it’s not from anything she’d eaten. It was a pinkish hue.
Anyways, please let me know what you guys think it might be. I’ll attach an image of what came out.
