Cut the salt out of your diet and wait...it will go away on its own, but it takes time.

Gout is a condition where uric acid crystals build up in the body.
This can happen in the area of the big toe and cause a lot of pain.
Our foods contain purines; some foods are higher in this than others.
The doctor may place you on a lower purine diet (of which they will usually provide you a list of foods to avoid. There is also medications that can lower the uric acid in the blood
Here an alternative way to cure gout?

I've had gout for 20 years. It sucks. When I was first diagnosed, the doctors believed it was all related to diet. Those doctors recommended never eating another sinew of meat. In the intervening years medical science has begun to accept that it is caused by an overproduction of uric acid in your blood which forms crystals that get trapped in your tissues. According to my current doctor, the overproduction of uric acid is probably genetic. Although you can take herbal remedies and drink unsweetened cherry juice, the best relief will come from a prescription for allopurinol or cholchesine (I don't know how to spell that one). Once you get through the acute phase (with all the pain), the meds will help your body regulate the uric acid. If you are dead set on natural/herbal/homeopathic remedies you might consult a book called the "Prescription for Nutritional Healing" (Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 3rd ed) by Phyllis Balch and James Balch. It is available on amazon and probably at your local library. It has a good section on gout, which I recommend to be used in conjunction with treatment from a doctor. The other thing you can do is to drink a ton of water. By keeping well-hydrated, this will help you flush out the tissues of your body. Best of luck.

Gout is merely an over abundance of uric acid. An acidic body is a sick body. I help people overcome gout with the use of phytonutrients, flavenoids and polysaccharides and no more flare-ups.

Eat lots and lots of cherries and blueberries. I seriously cured myself of gout this way. Also stay away from too many animal proteins which will cause a build up of uric acid in your joints.

Cherries (fresh, frozen, canned, or jarred) are a good natural remedy for Gout. (It really works.) And they taste good too.

Don't leave food around that the goat might want to eat and I agree with you, giving perscription medication to a goat should only be done when perscribed by a veternarian. I also would not let him in the house. Maybe build a little place for him outside.

If you are already in the process of an attack, medicine actually is the best remedy. It decreases the length of the attack. Prevention is the best medicine all around. Avoid foods high in purines.
