My beardie’s front legs have started to get really puffy. I was worried he had early MBD (despite adequate lighting and calcium dusting) but after looking online, it looks more like gout. I’m going to bring him to the vet tomorrow but just wondering if anyone has experience with beardie gout. I read that it is treatable in adult dragons but that they have to be on allopurinal for the rest of their life and the crystals never completely go away. He’s only about 18 months old. My kids and I are extremely attached and I can’t imagine our home without him. But I also can’t imagine putting him through a lifetime of daily meds. Just wanted to see if anyone has experience with this because everything I’m reading is not good
