emergency? goat literally peeing blood

[Margali]

Could he have passed a stone? I know when DFiancee had one stuck he peed blood for about a day as stone was stuck. After it passed blood cleared up really quickly.

i was wondering about that too. but i'm not sure. do you think passing a stone would make him spray undiluted blood though? he has no other classic symptoms of stones, didn't even act like he was in pain. i've never passed a stone but i've been told it's incredibly painful.

I would consider putting him on Ammonia chloride. It sounds like it could have been a stone.

will it hurt him to put him on AC if it wasn't a stone?

Not at all. Since AC is also used for prevention.

So glad he's feeling better. We don't keep wethers, but would have made an emergency run to our vet if one of our bucks did that. Do you have ammonium chloride on hand just in case of a case of urinary calculi? It's available at Hoeggers or Caprine Supply online and sure is cheap insurance.

i will definitely be adding the AC to his regimen, just in case. should i just top dress their minerals or does he need a specific dosage? thank you everyone, i really really appreciate your help. our vets here are very lacking for goats.

he still seems to be acting normal, it's the strangest thing. i'm glad he's acting normal, but, just doesn't make sense...

On my farm - I make sure that any feed they get has AC in it (pelleted feed) and I also mix it into their minerals. Those are my prevention measures.

Treatment would be an AC drench...don't remember doses...you could do a search on here and find it I'm sure.
