Small bumps??

[spikebocloud]

I was giving my beardie a bath today I noticed bumps on his legs, does anyone know what they are or what they might be? Also if his femoral pores are clogged?? Thanks

yes ,femoral pores look blocked. Not sure about the lumps, could be a number of things, keep a close eye on them and if they get worse you need to see a vet. The swollen toe concerns me, has he caught it on something? Again, vet trip if it looks like it is getting worse or spreads to other toes.

I think it may be Gout, I don’t think he got it caught on anything. We bought some black cherry concentrate since it supposedly helps. If anyone else knows anything to help gout please tell me.

gout is a possibility but you would expect to see it in other toes and especially the ankles, unless it is very early stage. Its more likely that it is soft tissue damage, like I said, just keep an eye on it and if it spreads or gets worse seek vet advice. Gout can be fatal in dragons if left untreated, but it would be better all round not to jump straight to that conclusion, you dont want to be giving unnecessary medications. I have never heard of black cherry as a cure for anything, but at least it is natural and unlikely to cause harm (in moderation)

These have just shown up in the past couple weeks or so, and he has them on his other toes.
