Visceral Gout is deposits
of uric acid salts that have built up in an organ. It
most frequently affects the kidneys, liver and heart.
The deposits continuously irritate the organ, and can
ultimately cause the organ to fail. Your lizard will be
very apathetic, and will be opening and closing their
mouth with discomfort. Thier movements will be jerky as
well.
Causes
If your lizard is a herbivore, it may be caused by
animal protein being digested.
Your lizard is not getting enough water, and
is being dehydrated.
If your lizard was sick, and had to have antibiotics,
the antibiotics may be having negative effects.
Treatment
There is no treatment known. |
