What are the treatment methods for urinary stones in pigs?
Causes: Urolithiasis, also known as urinary stones or urethral stones, is a concretion of salt crystals in the urinary tract, causing mucosal irritation, bleeding, inflammation, urethral obstruction, difficulty urinating and abdominal pain. Urinary stones originate in the kidney or bladder, while obstruction can occur in the ureters and urethra. This disease is mainly closely related to the quantity and quality of feed and drinking water, the state of mineral metabolism in the body, and the functional activity of the urinary organs, especially the kidneys.
Symptoms: If the urinary stones are small in size and few in number, generally no symptoms appear. In severe cases, the main signs are difficulty urinating, persistent abdominal pain and blood in the urine. When the urethra is incompletely obstructed, the sick pig urinates painfully and the urination time is prolonged, with urine flowing intermittently or in drops, and sometimes blood is passed in the urine. When the urethra is completely obstructed, abdominal pain is obvious due to urine retention, with the back arched and abdomen tucked in, and frequent attempts to urinate, but no urine is passed. Long-term retention of urine can cause uremia or rupture of the bladder. Stones may be present in the renal pelvis, ureters, bladder or urethra, varying in size and number, sometimes fixed to the mucosa and sometimes existing in a free state. The mucosa shows damage, inflammation, bleeding and even ulcers.
Diagnosis: Based on the clinical symptoms, it is very easy to make a confirmed diagnosis.
