What are the treatment methods for urinary retention in pigs?
Causes: Urinary retention in pigs is mainly a urological disease causing difficult urination, brought on by cystitis, urethritis, urethral trauma and urinary tract infections.
Symptoms: The affected pig does not urinate, or urinates in drops or a thin stream. The pig repeatedly assumes a urination posture but no urine is passed. When bladder stones are relatively large, they can cause difficulty urinating, commonly with kicking of the belly with the hind legs and symptoms of colic.
Diagnosis: It can be readily confirmed based on the characteristic clinical symptoms and the pattern of urination. However, care must be taken to distinguish it from abdominal pain and constipation; careful examination and observation are necessary, and treatment should be given early, otherwise bladder rupture and death from uremia easily occur.
