You said..."The vet did a blood test after the first visit and noticed elevated uric acid levels"...high levels of uric acid is a symptom of gout which involves the kidneys too....your vet should know if that's what's involved.

Not sure if carnivore care is good or not in situations like this. You might want to look into the protein levels and ask your vet if s/he didn't tell you to use it. (I'm not a vet and am only mentioning this because one of the above sites says..."Any underlying dietary or environmental cause will need to be remedied. Diets such as Hill's Canine u/d, which are low in those proteins which are metabolized into uric acid, may be used in carnivorous reptiles."

Hope your dragon will be okay!
