Please HELP! 2 year old Wether Stuggling to pee! GOOD UPDATE!!

[Chicos Mama]

Urinary calculi...Im sure of it but hoping its not!
I went out to feed this morning and noticed Chico taking his normal stance to pee...but nothing comming out. He didnt hunch up or anything, but he did seem somewhat uncomfortable.
His tail is down and he didnt want any fresh water from the hose ( one of his favorite things to do) He dosent seem to be in any pain and his stomach is rumbling as normal.
His diet consists of Fresh Alphalha hay, 1/2 cup Purina Goat Chow and 1/4 cup BOSS daily. Fresh loose mineral daily as well and a handful of crackers from time to time. I have pulled all grain from him now. (My vet told me the goat chow was alright for him)

He was fine yesterday and today I noticed this. I am hoping I caught it early enough to save my precious Chico.
Heres the BIG problem....We are in the middle of a major snow storm here in Northern Arizona and no Vet can come to me untill Thursday! All I have on hand at the house is: Baking Soda, Apple Cider Vinegar, Duramycin-10.

I called the only 2 feed stores in town and nobody carries Ammonia chloride! I have about a 2 hour window to go to town to pick up anything I can and it is now 9:45 a.m. Monday morning...
Is there ANYTHING I can do for him ASAP!?

PLEASE HELP!!!

Fruit Fresh. Not as good as AC but it will help until you can get some. You can order AC from Jeffer's.

If the vet can't come to you, can their office sell you RX. or ammonia chloride? Banamine for pain, dexamethasone for swelling. And allow you to admister, and an antibiotic for possible UT infection.

I HAVE THAT!!! How do I administer it?

 

[20kidsonhill]

my notes say 2 tablspoons per 2 ounces of water every 4 hours. take off of all grain and feed. maybe can offer a little hay if acting hungry.

here is another recipee I have seen on-line.

There has been some success with a natural remedy to dissolve stones. A drench is made, given to the goat, and the goat is then laid on its back. Banimine is also given every 8 hours.

UC Treatment
1/2 red onion
Juice from 3 lemons
6 pods galic
1/4 C distilled water

Bring to a boil then simmer for 15 minutes. Blend in a food processor and allow to cool. Drench goat with all of the liquid. Repeat treatment after 12 hours, then 24 hours, and every 48 hours (3x).

Do you have a local mill...health food store...soap shop? They may carry AC.

Quite frankly if you have all the stuff to put that together AND you have some Fruit Fresh then I'd add 2 Tbsp of Fruit Fresh to that recipe after it's cool and then drench it.

I would use lemon juice instead of water if you have it to up the acidity even more.
