Dry July's 1st topic is FLUTD or Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease

FLUTD (Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease) is a general term that describes various conditions affecting a cat's bladder and urethra. It's one of the most common reasons cats visit veterinarians.

Potential causes:
- Urinary crystals or stones (struvite or calcium oxalate)
- Bacterial infections (less common in cats than dogs)
- Stress-related cystitis (idiopathic cystitis)
- Urethral blockages (more common in male cats)
- Tumours or polyps
- Anatomical abnormalities

Common symptoms include:
- Frequent attempts to urinate with little or no urine produced
- Straining in the litter box
- Blood in the urine
- Urinating outside the litter box
- Excessive licking of the ge***al area
- Crying or vocalizing while urinating
- Strong-smelling urine

Risk factors:
- Male cats (higher risk of blockages)
- Overweight cats
- Indoor cats with limited exercise
- Cats eating primarily dry food
- Stress or environmental changes
- Multi-cat households

Urethral blockages are medical emergencies requiring immediate veterinary attention.

🎙️Let’s talk Money 💰💲💲💲

(Disclaimer: I am not saying my salary is bad but it could be better given the time, effort and money that I’ve put into my education and continued professional development.

And, yes, vets do indeed love animals. But also…. We are Doctors who do consults and surgeries on multiple species on a daily basis. The lack of financial support exacerbates our emotional toll leading to one of the highest su***de rates by profession worldwide. So please be kind to your veterinary team. They’re there to help♥️🐾)

Therapy animals serve important roles in providing emotional support and comfort to people in various settings. Their presence has medically proven to improve our mental and emotional wellbeing.

Here are some key examples:

Dogs are the most common therapy animals, often visiting hospitals, nursing homes, schools, and disaster areas. Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are particularly popular due to their gentle, calm temperaments.

Cats work well in quieter environments like nursing homes and hospices, where their purring and gentle presence can be soothing. They're especially helpful for people who may be overwhelmed by more energetic animals.

Horses are used in equine-assisted therapy programs. Their size and gentle nature can help people develop confidence, improve motor skills, and work through emotional challenges. Many programs serve children with autism, veterans with PTSD, and people recovering from trauma.

Rabbits are gentle and quiet, making them suitable for therapy work in schools, libraries, and with elderly populations. Their soft fur and calm demeanour can be particularly comforting.

Not every pet can become a therapy pet. They need to undergo special training and certification to ensure they're well-behaved, healthy, and suitable for interacting with people who may be vulnerable, have a disability or suffer from mental health issues.

Their conditions can be caused be a change in routine, illness, scary weather, a new family member, or loss. Just like us. Because they can't tell us what is wrong, it is up to us to pick up on the signs and symptoms and get them the help they need.

If you think that your pet may be struggling, contact your vet as soon as possible ❤️‍🩹

Its ok to not be ok. And that goes for our pets as well.
We need to band together to fight the stigma of asking for help.

Mental health issues, such as depression, stress and anxiety affect our pets and their health, in much the same way as it does for us.
Early intervention and prevention are the keys to helping our pets live a relaxed and well-balanced life.

If you are concerned that your pet may be suffering in any way, please contact your regular vet as soon as possible.
