| "Bladder Sludge" change in diet? I had the pigs on some dark towels today and notice when one of them urinated there was a Pea sized spot of white(still waiting for it to dry). I also noticed when the other one urinated on plastic the puddle itself was whitish or cloudy. I found a white spot in the cage (dry) and I guess it was like flour. It wasn't as smooth as baby powder but not real grainy if that makes sense. There diet consists of Oxbow cavy cuisine, and timothy hay, romaine and green leaf lettuce, green pepper, red pepper (sometimes), cilantro, and baby carrots. Is there something I should cut out? I thought all of these things were OK. Help please! |

| Re: "Bladder Sludge" change in diet? It's just excess calcium expelling from their bodies. Nothing major to worry about as long as the spots feel smooth. Any bits of grit could indicate early bladder sludge. Your diet looks fine. |

| Re: "Bladder Sludge" change in diet? If there is any bladder sludge, is there anything I can do to try to flush it out? |
