l remenber a wile ago descovering a sow that had a slight bulge in her
privet parts turned out to be a stone that had logged itself in her vulva.

l get to know the feel of the sows vulva, this way it
will alert you to any anomalies like a stone!

it only takes a seconed to do and it could save the life of your sow, as if it stops
the wee flow you sow could suffer kidny damage or worse.

it may be more comon than you think as l also remember at one of cavy corners
fun days, showing a long term keeper how to do it and she did in fact have a uretal stone
that when moved sprayed wee out of the side of it.
if left, who knows how long her bladder would have coped with the presure of the wee:vom:

now that l have rememberd this, l will be dooing it as a mater of daily routine when l pick up my sows :tu:
