[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 15924"] What the animal died from was a urolith, which develops from insufficient water intake to DILUTE THE MINERALS WHICH CAUSE THE STONE. Without knowing what the stone was made from, I can't help you to modify diet to prevent the next one. When I worked in Saskatchewan, silicates were the big cause. Here in Ontario, I tend to see calcium oxalate stones. Other regions have different prevalences. The animal didn't cause this, the mineral balance did. He just showed the disease because his water intake help speed formation of the stone, or else he was genetically predisposed to the stone formation. Check out urolith bovine (or cattle) on google.com and see if you can get some information to help. V [/QUOTE]
