📌A CASE OF CANINE DEMODECOSIS

💡Informations you need to know!

•Canine demodicosis occurs when large numbers of Demodex canis mites inhabit hair follicles and sebaceous glands. In small numbers, these mites are part of the normal flora of canine skin and usually cause no clinical disease.

•The mites are transmitted from dam to puppies during nursing within the first 72 hours after birth.

•The mites spend their entire life cycle on the host, and the disease is not considered to be contagious.

•The pathogenesis (development of the disease) of demodicosis is complex and not completely understood; evidence of hereditary predisposition for generalized disease is strong.

•Immunosuppression, natural or iatrogenic, can precipitate clinical disease in some cases.

📌TWO (2) CASES OF FLUTD IN ONE DAY❗
Urinary catheter is placed on both male cats to aid for urethral blockage.

🐱FLUTD is a general term referring to multiple types of lower urinary tract disease in cats. The predisposing factors and prognoses vary depending on the root cause. In general these disorders are characterized by frequent urination and difficulty urinating.

Urinary blockages are an emergency situation that will be fatal if not treated. Treatment in these cases is often complicated, requiring multiple procedures. Recovery from a urethral obstruction may take weeks and recurrence is common.

🐱Risk factors
FLUTD is very common in cats and the severity varies widely depending on the underlying cause. Some cases are life-threatening (urethral obstruction, tumors) and some can be treated readily with a good prognosis (sterile cystitis).

🐱Possible causes
The causes of FLUTD vary and there may be more than one potential cause in a given case.

Potential causes include
✅Kidney and Bladder Stones (Uroliths) in Cats
✅Lower Urinary Tract Cancers in Cats
✅Lower Urinary Tract Infection (Bacterial) in Cats
✅Anxiety Disorders in Cats
✅Diet changes
✅Injury to lower urinary tract
✅Congenital defects

Some cases of FLUTD have no known cause.

🐱Main symptoms of FLUTD
✅Excessively Frequent Urination (Pollakiuria) in Cats
✅Straining to Urinate (Stranguria) in Cats
✅Blood in Urine (Hematuria / ✅Hemoglobinuria / Myoglobinuria) in Cats
✅Increased grooming of the ge****ls
✅House soiling

🐱Testing and diagnosis
Once a medical history and physical examination are complete, diagnostics to isolate the cause include:

✅Physical exam
✅Urinalysis
✅Blood work
✅Bacterial cultures
✅Imaging (X-ray, ultrasound)

🐱Steps to Recovery
Treatment varies based on the root cause. Once the cause is known, treatment can be targeted. Strategies include:

✅Dietary alterations
✅Environmental changes
✅Flushing of the urinary bladder and urethra to remove stones and crystals
✅Surgical removal of tumors
✅Medications including NSAIDs to treat inflammation, analgesics to treat pain, and antibiotics for infection
✅Palliative treatments
✅Surgical or dietary removal of stones

The condition varies in prognosis depending on the root cause. Most idiopathic causes are chronic and treatment focuses on symptomatic care and minimizing frequency of episodes. For cases of cancer, which are rare, the prognosis can vary based on the progression of the disease and whether surgery is a possibility.

🐱Prevention
Some types of FLUTD cannot be prevented. FLUTD is not contagious. General best practices to help prevent FLUTD include:

✅Maintain healthy diet formulated for urinary tract health
✅Keep fresh, clean water available
✅Have an appropriate number (1 for each cat plus one extra) of accessible litter boxes in quiet areas
✅Keep litter boxes clean
✅Reduce stress and minimize changes to routines

📌Urinary catheter is placed on a male cat to aid for urethral blockage caused by uroliths (urinary stones).

🐾How do urinary stones form?
Minerals that naturally occur in urine can clump together to form tiny crystals. When crystals clump together, they form uroliths (also known as urinary stones or calculi).

🐾Why do cats develop uroliths?
Cats have highly concentrated, acidic urine that predisposes them to form stones of the urinary tract, especially when certain minerals or other substances are abundant or deficient. This may be a result of diet, inflammation or infection, or possibly the pH level of the individual cat’s urine.

Cats can also form small stones that resemble sand or toothpaste. Small stones, crystals, and other components of urine can create "plugs" that can block the urinary tract, especially the urethra.

🐾What are the symptoms of urolithiasis in cats?
At first, cats may frequently try to urinate and produce only a fine stream, a few drops, or nothing. Cats may also have extreme pain and cry out when trying to urinate. Complete obstruction causes toxins to build up within the body in 1 to 2 days, which leads to depression, lack of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms), coma, and death within about 3 days.

🐾How do veterinarians diagnose uroliths?
Urinalysis, urine culture, radiography, and ultrasonography may be required to differentiate uroliths from urinary tract infection or neoplasia.

🐾How do veterinarians treat uroliths?
Treating stones, and preventing their return, depends on their type and location.

Treatment involves,
(1) relieving the obstruction (either by pushing the stone back into the bladder with a catheter or by removing it surgically. If the stone is flushed back into the bladder, surgery to remove the stone is usually necessary so that it does not pass into the urethra again),
(2) special diet,
(3) lithotripsy (a procedure that uses sound waves to break apart stones), and
(4) medication.
