Urinary Tract Disease In Cats


Is your cat urinating in various spots other than the litter box? Inappropriate elimination may indicate the presence of serious underlying issues that could possibly be behavior or medical in nature.

One of the common causes of inappropriate elimination in cats is feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD). It is actually a condition that involves several diseases affecting the lower urinary tract, including the bladder and urethra of cats. Signs of FLUTD include:
  • Difficulty in urinating
The cat appears to be straining in an effort to urinate. This may be caused by inflammation of the urinary bladder (cystitis). The problem is more common in male cats than their female counterparts.
  • Pain and discomfort while urinating
The cat may cry out in pain while trying to urinate. They may lick their behind and their abdomen in an effort to alleviate the pain.
  • Frequent urge to pass urine
While the urge to urinate seems to be constant, only a small amount of urine is expelled each time the cat tries to pee.
  • Blood-tinged urine
The problem is more common among female cats than in males.

A cat showing any of these symptoms should be brought to an animal hospital Bourne, MA immediately. Visit this link to learn more: https://sandwichvets.com/
