hello everyone! So I recently adopted what we thought was a female suclata about 6 months ago. Turns out he is a 15 year old male because he's just starting to show off his goods. His previous vet and owner has never seen his penis before. He is also starting to what I'm guessing, is engage is sexual behavior. Anyway, he is making a lot of noises lately. They sound like grunting/whining/sighing. I'm slightly worried because he is starting to produce more urates than normal. I'm getting all the white chalky stuff in his urine maybe twice weekly now. It's very milky though. He makes a lot of noises and almost stands up when he pees and drags his penis on the floor sometimes (a good two inches). I've started soaking him every other day for as long as he likes, up to an hour, in warm water. He eats mainly grasses with veggies and some fruits. He roams the house but sleeps in a large pool at night time. He did have intestinal flukes (parasite) and I treated with panacur and am waiting for the fecal results to come back again. His vet thinks his current behavior could be all sexually related but I am worried it is kidney/bladder stone related. I am going to x-ray him this week, but either way there are not any veterinarians in my area that will d o surgery on him. Basically, are there any thoughts or opinions of anyone else?
