Urinary Calculi Medication Treatment

[Kat]

Thanks for the reply and info.  The vet was very clear that this may or may not help - but, since my boy was still peeing he thought it was worth a shot trying first before surgery as he has had good results with goats with similar set of symptoms.  You are correct - this is merely to help pass the stones and there is no guarantee he won't get them again - larger and have to have the surgery.  So, keeping him drinking is really the only thing I can do and hope for the best. Hence the daily extra salt. He's doing great and we did about 6 miles with 2000' elevation gain on Tuesday.  Not too shabby for an 11 year old goat

This clinic does work for the local Puget Sound Goat Rescue, as well as only livestock (no small pets) so has a good range of experience with goats.

I posted this, as I have not read of this treatment before and wanted to get it out there.  Clearly for milder cases.
