Meet Timmy!
This friendly boy unfortunately is susceptible to developing stones within his bladder. Urolithiasis is a common health emergency in small ruminants and occurs when these uroliths (urinary stones), cause a blockage in the urinary tract.
Clinical signs include straining to urinate, calling out in pain, kicking at their abdomen or dripping out urine.
The team performed a cystotomy and were able to remove the obstructive uroliths. After spending a few days in hospital, Timmy has been sent home and is doing very well back with his paddock mate! π
