Hello, first time posting on this! We have had our Ziggy for about 2.5 years and he's also about 2.5 years old! He's always been a relatively chill dude, however about a month ago he stopped eating and I noticed the swelling around his wrists and assumed it was gout ! I took him in for blood work and we determined he is having kidney issues along with gout and his uric acid is at about 23! We've been on an IV regiment alone with omnivore care daily with soaks! I also ordered some tart cherry concentrate to help with the pain from the gout... fast forward to today he's still
Not eating much lettuce/veggies and we fully stopped bugs so we can try to get his levels better! With that being said, he has a black beard a lot now and just curious if we even have a shot at fighting this... our vet recommend euthanizing, but I want to exhaust my options before we go that path! Any help, advice or insight good or bad would be greatly appreciated it! We don't want to loose our guy, but I don't want him
To be in constant pain either
