Hey guys, so today my mom noticed in one of the piggies that his urine had some spots of white then she picked him up and it was all over his bottom. Is this a UTI? 'cause I looked it up and they said the most noticable symptoms are blood and squeaking while peeing, so what is it?

Having white urine is very common. It's how their bodies get rid of excess calcium.

You only need to worry if the urine is also gritty. In that case, you're looking at bladder sludge, which can turn into painful bladder stones. If you catch that early on, reduce the calcium your pig is getting in his diet.

A urinary tract infection is where the animal has a calcium buildup in their urine. The calcium is sharp and pointy and feels like little shards of glass as it passes through the urinary tract. It is extremely painful for the animal. You need special medication that breaks up the calcium so it can pass and you will need to change your pet's diet to a low-magnesium food. They also need to drink more water. If you can get your pet to drink some cranberry juice or orange juice, that will help. They don't like this naturally, so you may have to put it in a syringe and force-feed them. You can also try to mix it in their food. You can also try a homeopathic remedy such as this herbal remedy.
