- Abstract
This article, titled "Praeputial calculi leading to pollakiuria in a chinchilla (Chinchilla lanigera)," discusses a case of a 3-year-old male chinchilla with a severely swollen genital region. The chinchilla exhibited pollakiuria and had difficulty passing urine normally. Upon examination, solid calculi were found in the preputium, along with an inguinal hernia. The chinchilla underwent preputial lavage to remove the calculi and was treated with medication. The article concludes with recommendations for increased water intake and dietary changes to prevent future calculi formation.
