Yes they can, although the canine version of gout is not identical to the human one. In humans, it's a buildup of uric acid in the bloodstream called hyperuricemia that, over time, deposits crystals of uric acid in the sinuvial fluid around the joints. This causes a specific kind of arthritis. In dogs, as far as I can tell, the definiition is extended to any mineral-like deposits on the joints, in the sinuvuial fluid, or anywhere nearby. However, either of these diagnoses are hard to make without a serological study being performed. Note that in humans and dogs, this condition heralds potential for kidney disorders. Unless you have cause to specifically suspect canine gout over trauma or a more general arthritis, I would inspect for trauma and treat for pain. In any case, if this condition has persisted for over a few days, you need to get the dog to a vet.

Do copper bracelets work for arthritis sufferers?
I have known several people that have tied it none of them said it helped at all. In any case at this point there seems to be no scientific data available to say yes or no to this question with any certainty.
Others would say it has clearly helped them. It is true that, like many natural remedies, what works for some people does not necessarily work for everyone. It is an ancient practice, going right back to ancient Greece, and there are some suggestions that the copper actually has an antioxidant effect. However, as mentioned above, scientific evidence is inconclusive. Many tests were done during the 1970s, and only one actually showed relief for copper-wearers over a control group using a placebo. Either way, the consumer needs to be wary of claims of "magical cures".
See the related link for an article which analyses how and whether wearing copper can actually assist arthritis sufferers.
A more recent article suggests that the healing properties are all in the wearer's mind. See the related link for the latest research news on this topic.
