Expert Answer

Mild canine gout can be eased with painkillers for 1 to 2 days to relieve pain and body inflammation and speed recovery. Severe cases with tophi need surgical removal.

Gout comes from impaired purine metabolism and causes swollen, painful joints, often with fever. If your dog has this, avoid oxalate rich foods to prevent worsening.
