🚨EMERGENCY CASE: FLUTD (Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease) case‼️
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 of
✅difficulty and pain when urinating, ✅increased frequency of urination, and
✅blood in the urine.
Cats with FLUTD also tend to lick themselves excessively and may urinate outside the litter box, often on cool, smooth surfaces like a tile floor or a bathtub.
While FLUTD can occur at any age, it is usually seen in middle-aged, overweight cats that get little exercise, use an indoor litter box, have little or no outdoor access, or eat a dry diet. Factors such as emotional or environment stress, multi-cat households, and abrupt changes in daily routine may also increase the risk that a cat will develop FLUTD.
MAJOR SIGNS OF FLUTD INCLUDE:
•Straining to urinate
•Urinating small amounts
•Frequent and/or prolonged attempts to urinate
•Crying out while urinating
•Excessive licking of the ge***al area
•Urinating outside the litter box
•Blood in the urine
WHAT CAN I DO AT HOME TO PREVENT OCCURRENCES OF FLUTD?
Depending on the underlying cause for FLUTD, the clinical signs may never, or only occasionally, reoccur. However, recurrence is more common with FIC. To help reduce the chances of recurrence:
•CONSULT WITH YOUR VETERINARIAN ABOUT THE BEST DIET OF YOUR CAT.
•Feed small meals on a frequent basis.
•Provide clean, fresh water at all times.
•Provide an adequate number of litter boxes (usually one more than the number of cats in the household) with the type of litter that the cat(s) prefer
•Keep litter boxes in quiet, safe areas of the house.
•Keep litter boxes clean – they should be scooped twice a day and the litter changed weekly (or more often as needed).
•Minimize major changes in routine.
•Reduce stress.
