[Stones] Mimi bladder stones

[Dawnda Stricklen]

So sorry to hear that Mimi has bladder stones again. I
hate those stones!!! It is such a worrisome problem on
what is best to do for them. Especially when it seems
most do not survive the surgeries.
My stone pig passed away last month and I hoped I
would not have anymore, but I think am going to have
another one. My boy Mocha is whining when he poops
again. Nothing showed on the x-rays last time, but I
heard him grunting one day. He was fine for a while
after that day. I think he passed a stone that day. 
I have started him back on the shilingtong and
metacam. Luckily, he likes it. I will try to flush it
out first. 
I know 3 people with males pigs that have died because
of stone surgery in the last two months. I will do
everything I can before I risk his life with surgery.

Again, sorry about your delima with Mimi. We all know
what you are going through here.
