Urolithiasis = formation of stones in the urinary bladder.

All kind of animals can make urinary stones. For goats, particularly castrated male goats, this can cause a problem when the crystals or stones block the way for the urine to get out. This episode gets into the physiology of why and how urinary calculi form, why it's a problem for goats in particular, what to look for if you think this is happening to your goat, and what treatment and prevention look like.
