Hi all,
I have seen all the posting son Urinary Calculi and I am terrified. My two little kids are now 5 weeks old. The little buckling has, on ocassion, hunched his back, raised his tail and accted like he has to poo. It only occurs for a few seconds and I don't know if he's just stretching or if it's something I need to be concerened about. He is peeing fine and the minerals that he gets do have AC in them. I also have him on fresh hay and recently cut him down to 2 bottle feedings a day. He is also on the medicated goat pellets from TSC, although they don't eat too much of that yet.

Unless he's straining to urinate, I wouldn't be too concerned about him stretching occasionally.

Phew, thank everyone. No he is not straining to urinate. I just got nervous since I noticed that was one of the signs of the Urinary calculi.
