- Pet's Name: Duke
- Gender: Male
- Age: 8
- Diseases: Chronic kidney failure with joint gout, deformed toes, and painful limited mobility
- Prescribed treatment: A strict plant-based diet: leafy greens, safe vegetables, controlled calcium intake, and a complete ban on animal protein, excessive fruit, and unsuitable treats. Regular blood tests, uric acid monitoring, pain management, a warm spacious terrarium with high humidity, soft shelves and branches, bathing, and monitoring of swelling and joint condition
- General Information: Duke lived for years in a cramped cage and was fed the wrong food because he had been bought as an “easy exotic pet.” When his legs became swollen and he stopped climbing, his owners brought him to the clinic and admitted they could no longer care for him. Duke is too large and too sick for ordinary adoption: even one incorrect diet choice or cold environment can quickly worsen his condition
