Goodness Gracious!!!!! Wwwwwow!!!!! Poor baby!!!! His poor little butt!!! I'd include cactus (opuntial pads) in his daily diet if you haven't already. You have done an AWESOME JOB @ Tacos*mom
Impressive... How could he even swallow them?
I'll keep my fingers crossed for him to get rid of the last two stones.
So were they still in the bladder on the x-ray? I thought usually they have one big stone, not many small ones.
I'm leaning towards a higher protein diet is also an issue with this especially with sulcatas. Too much pellets that have alfalfa, or other high protein or animal protein that they may have ingested. Out of 100's of sulcatas, I've only had 3 develop bladder stones. Always very well hydrated, the only difference I could find was all three at different times, had found a place they found, and could ingest earthworms, and they seemed to love them. That's the only thing I could ever find that was different with those three. I know with pygmy goats, they are chronically fearful of stones, and advise to totally stay away from alfalfa because of the high protein. Different anatomy that certainly makes male goats in particular prone, but the issue of the crystals forming is still the same.
This is very interesting and does make sense
