π Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease π
Feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD) describes a variety of conditions that affect the bladder and urethra of cats.
Cats with FLUTD most often show signs that include:
π± Straining to urinate
π± Urinating small amounts
π± Frequent and/or prolonged attempts to urinate
π± Crying out while urinating
π± Excessive licking of the ge***al area
π± Urinating outside the litter box
π± Blood in the urine
The most serious problem associated with urinary function is when a cat's urethra becomes partly or totally blocked. These cats strain to urinate and produce little or no urine.
If you have a young male cat that suddenly seems quiet - feel their belly. You shouldnβt easily be able to feel a bladder, however if there is a blockage, it will feel like a hard baseball sized lump.
π¨ This is a true medical emergency. If your cat is displaying any of the above signs please seek immediate veterinary attention.βΌοΈ
