Calculi occur frequently in bucks, especially castrated males. The common symptom is difficult urination, indicated by stretching and straining to urinate with little or no success. Providing fresh water, free-choice nutrients, grass hay, and seasonal browse will help prevent this problem. Over-graining should be avoided. Delaying castration as long as possible allows urinary system to mature. Ammonium Chloride may be used as a preventive and a treatment for urinary tract problems.
Treatment: 1 1/2 teaspoon mixed with water or juice and drench orally.
