possible urine scald
Lynx & bpatters:I have Kms pellets. For 4 pigs a day, i only give 1/2 cup. I also have 3 different water bottles on the two different levels.
I'll be giving her some water, then. She just hates drinking from a syringe. It's always a battle.
I know it can be the pig, but...i'm hoping that's not the case.
How bad is it to see calcium deposits in their pee?

Try offering her some unflavored Pedialyte (infants' electrolyte solution). Many pigs love this stuff and will readily slurp 10, 20, 30 cc's out of a syringe at one time.
Is she a fairly active pig? If not, if you can possibly get her to move around a little more, it will help. Easier said than done, I know, but it'll help her pee sludge out before it can coalesce into a stone.

Also, excuse my SO in the picture. He wasn't aware I was taking pictures(I didn't exactly tell him).
She is looking better and better. She finishes up her meds on the 6th(last full day of meds). I am so happy, I have not(knock on wood) seen any calcium deposits in her pee, and she has been happier, popcorning more, and she's actually lost a little bit of weight(she was a little overweight; she's still plump, but she's sleeker, and just looks healthier).
Question I thought of last night: Should I carry on with the probiotic for about 2 more days, just to make sure she's regular? Or is that going over the top?
