I think I remember some discussion about this years ago, but I don't
remember the details. Does anyone know if a boar can pass a bladder
stone? Last week Eddie passed blood (unfortunately on an afternoon when
neither of my vets was available). I took him in first thing the next
morning, although he seemed to be feeling quite good. They did a
urinalysis, which showed some crystals, so he is getting sub-q fluids.
However, today he seems not to be feeling so well. He does have good
and not-so-good days, so of course I hope he feels better tomorrow.
An X-ray a few weeks ago showed no stone, but I know they can sometimes
form ridiculously quickly, so that's why I wonder if he could have
passed a stone. (He had surgery for bladder stones in 2014 and again in
2017.)
Or are there other reasons for passing blood, other than cystitis, which
he doesn't seem to have? (I have not seen any more blood since.)
Thanks for any thoughts, suggestions, advice.
Cindy, Eddie, and Nugget
