If there are crystals in the urine then the TYPE
of crystal is very important because different
uroliths (urinary tract stones) are treated in
very different ways.
Here is the URL of an excellent article by Dr.
Jerry Murray on the types of uroliths ferrets
can get:
http://www.smallanimalchannel.com/ferrets/ferret-health/bladder-stones.aspx
as you can see, depending on the type of
stone the approaches needed can be the
opposite of each other.
Yes, urinary stones are painful but they can
be tackled effectively. Steve and I have two
ferrets who get cystine uroliths and through
dietary changes have kept them each well for
over 5 years so far since their diagnoses as
juveniles.
