Symptoms Of Feline Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD)

 

animal hospital Ellicott City MD

Cats afflicted with FLUTD urinate with difficulty.  Quite a number of conditions may be contributing to FLUTD.  Some of these conditions include infections of the urinary tract, bladder inflammation (cystitis), polyps in the bladder, bladder stones, stress, urethral plug, and perhaps even urinary tract cancer.  Even though there are a number of causes for FLUTD occurring, manifested symptoms are pretty much similar.

FLUTD symptoms

Urination is painful

No urine gets passed or very little urine even though the animal is already straining when peeing

Inappropriate urination

Urine has blood

Licks the butt excessively

Noticeable behavior changes

If you see your cat exhibit any of the symptoms above, make an appointment with your animal hospital Ellicott City, MD as soon as possible.  If a cat is not able to urinate, it can lead to complications.  Without effective and proper intervention and treatment, a blockage in the animal can be fatal.
