Sounds like it could be urinary calculi, caused by an imbalance of calcium
and phosphorous in the diet. A calcium stone is blocking the urethra.

The cider vinegar could help. Ammonium chloride dissolved in water and used
in a drench may help if it isn't too late.

Left uncured, urine will build to the point that the urethra will rupture
causing a condition that some call waterbelly. Toxins will build in the
bloodstream and cause death.

>       I have an adult ram that appears to have a urinary tract infection.
I have noticed the past few weeks he has been kicking his back legs when he
urinates (but acting fine and eating). Yesterday I found him down with his
head back and his back legs moving around.When I stood him up he was
dripping urine and acting very restless.(normally he's is at opposite ends
of the pasture from me) I drenched him with nutri drench and apple cider
vinegar and gave him a shot of B vits and PenG. He appears still about the
same this morning. Any other suggestions. Any other opinions on weather this
is a ut infection?
