Title: Blood in urine
Post by: mocnarf on January 05, 2017, 07:09:58 pm

I have a 2-year-old withered ram that has some blood in its urine.  He looks perfectly healthy and is not acting sick at all.  I am guessing it might be either a bladder stone or kidney stone that he is passing.  Should I be concerned and what should I do?  Just let it runs its course?  ???

I agree.  Stones likely, or could be a kidney infection.  Either way bad for the sheep.  Is he getting any hard feed?  This can cause stones unless feed is formulated for rams.
