Urinary Calculi Encouragement
« on: December 03, 2015, 09:43:46 am »
Just wanted to give you all some info that will hopefully encourage you to not loose hope or help save a lamb.  We had one go down with the Calculi the other night and immediately knew the outcome is not promising.  We checked with our vet for suggestions, here is what we ended up doing:
-We gave 1 cc of banamine already before we called, he suggested another 2 cc a few hours later.
-5 cc of LA300
-Pulled grain, gave hay
-Took about 1/2 liter of warm/hot water and shot it up penal sheath with syringe (no needle) then massaged water back out
-When done with water shot 5cc of Iodine up there
-Went to bed
The next morning, boom the lamb got up and pee'd for 5 minutes!!! 
We found our issue with our feed and have corrected it already and now have him on a teaspoon of ammonium chloride mixed with water and drenched for the next few days to clear out any backlog. So who knows if any of this fixed the issue or if it will come back and he'll die next week but wanted to pass it on, I hope it helps someone someday.

preventative:
 My mineral box for rams is 2/3 sheep mineral and 1/3 ammonium chloride. My pelleted lamb feed has 5 lbs of ammonium chloride per ton in it.
