Blood in 12 week old goat urine

[Dorothy1324]

I was just out with our goats and noticed that one of our little males had some red pee. some background is we weathered them last week with burdizzo and just last night gave them a dose of Ivomec injectable. he did have a bottle of water this morning. and is eating and acting fine. He gets very little we shoot for none grain he eats hay and greens from around the yard. wondering if anyone might have any idea what could caused this red pee. i am hoping not uc

My first thought would be UC or UTI (altho he does seem young for UC). I also think there's a possibility that the emasculator could have cause it (I've heard you can accidentally crimp the urinary tract, altho we do not emasculate so I'm not very familiar with potential complications here).

I would get a urine sample to the vet ASAP. They will look at the urine under the microscope to see if there are crystals. Also take his temp to rule out the UTI (which can be a symptom of UC, also).

Good luck!
