Abstract

Urolithiasis is the most common urinary problem in male ruminants, and one of the most common emergencies in male goats and sheep. This disease has substantial welfare implications because it causes severe pain and it has a high fatality rate. The expense associated with veterinary care and loss of affected animals has a strong economic impact on pet owners and farmers.

Keywords: Ruminant urolithiasis; Urinary obstruction goat/sheep; Urinary obstruction ruminants; Urolithiasis goat/sheep; Veterinary urinary blockage.
