Learning outcome
Sandra will cover clinical signs, castration, feeding and removal or urolithiasis:
- Any male goat that is grinding its teeth, reluctant to move or not eating should have urolithiasis on the differential diagnosis list.
- Calcium carbonate and calcium oxalate calculi can be seen on radiology. Struvite (magnesium ammonium phosphate) calculi may not.
- Miniature breeds including the newly introduced Nigerian Dwarf and Pygmy breeds are at higher risk. The only reference shows that urethral diameter increased if male kids were left entire until 8 or 10 weeks they had similar urethral diameter to entire buck kids. Male kids can be fertile at 3 months of age so castration just before 3 months is advised.
- Grain, molasses and hay with more than 50% lucerne are to be avoided for best chance of prevention in wethers. Bucks may need better nutrition for best conception rates.
Brandon will discuss surgical management of small ruminant urolithiasis:
- Factors that allow the best decisions for surgical management urolithiasis cases. There are many options that we need to fit into various scenarios.
- Discussion of when various surgical options are warranted, valuable to the patient and accepted by the client. Post-op management will be discussed which is very important and can be variable based several factors.
