Title: Weird stuff in urine
Post by: Mcdoog7 on February 13, 2011, 08:34:22 PM

Hey everyone. My male, Coal, has had problems with his urine before, but I figured it was just a calcium crystal that he eventually passed. The vet I took him to confirmed this last summer. Today I came home and saw that there were puddles of urine all along the shelf and where there were dried puddles of urine, there was a white powder substance there. Has anyone ever seen this? He appears normal otherwise, except that he grits his teeth noisily. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

i personally have never seen or heard that, could it be from a dust bath, or maybe something he chewed?  if not, i would get him to a vet.. chins can go downhill quickly, so its best to be safe.. keep us posted
