Chalky Urine?

[LeahsPiggies]

Hi everyone,

I let the girls out for a bit of playtime today, and I've noticed a chalky deposit urine spot from Porche. Could this possibly be from the potassium citrate I have been giving or could it be something more sinister? Or is it generally normal?

All 3 girls actually had xrays last week and no stones/sludge were found!

I haven't used Potassium Citrate myself so am not sure but have they had any food with a high calcium content?

I think it usually means their diet is a bit rich in calcium on the day of the chalky pee. Has she been eating spinach or something equally high in calcium?

 

[LeahsPiggies]

They haven't eaten anything today other than hay, pellets and grass!

Potassium Citrate is designed to combine calcium in the urine so I was wondering if that was the reason. hmmm

What pellets are you feeding again?

 

[LeahsPiggies]

Pets at home nuggets, currently.

Have they had readigrass as that is high in calcium?

 

[LeahsPiggies]

No, fresh grass!
