Last Wednesday, we went to a clinic to check on teddy bears' toe. The doctor suggested that he got a Gout problem. How ever, teddy bear had to undergone a blood test for confirmation. With the opportunity arise, I had requested the docotr to do full blood test to teddy bear. To ensure he okay and healthy. So, as for tonite..teddy bear has to fast starting from 10 pm onwards.
This the the fast fact i got from the net about this sickness. I'm hoping that teddy bear did not had it.. just a speculation. If not, he got to forget all his favourite food in the future.
- Intense painful swelling in the feet (and especially the big toe) may indicate gout.
- Treatment options exist, but therapy should be individualized for each person.
- Avoiding alcohol and certain fish and meats helps prevent further gout attacks.
There are many reasons why an episode of gout will appear, including drinking too much alcohol or eating certain kinds of food rich in purines such as seafood, beans, sweetbreads, gravies and anchovies. Other potential triggers of gout include:
- Surgery
- Stress
- Crash diets
- Sudden, severe illness
- Chemotherapy
- Joint injury
- High blood pressure
- Excessive exercise.
Those highlighted in red is what i think the main cause of teddy bear illness. hehehehe
