His leg is alittle swollen than the other and he is babying it all day. I want to know if he has gout. He had worms but treated him for them.

Thanks for reaching out about Zilla. Gout is a kidney problem and usually an older animal problem. Calcium deficiencies, trauma and joint infections are probably the most common. A veterinary visit is recommended to assess the limp and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. A warm water soak might provide some inflammation relief. Good luck.
