Blooming heck, Clive, you wouldn't think a little GPig could exert enough fore to pass that through its urethra? Like you say though, OUCH!!

Was it incontinent afterwards having overlystretched/dilated the sphincter and the urethra?

I too would be suspicious of a urolith, maybe radiography plus contrast media?

urinalysis including C&S, and sediment analysis?

I once had a male rabbit in for cystotomy to remove a bladder urolith, but he passed it through his penis after having his premed. It was 1cm diameter, size of a marble, ouch.

I would take a bet there is a stone involved somewhere, if not in the bladder maybe in the urethra.
