Urethral

If something seems off about your cat’s toileting habits, act early. While feline urinary problems are common, the signs and causes range from manageable to severe. And if your cat needs ongoing care at home, you will have an essential role in their care.

Report clinical presentation of cats with urethral obstruction and severe anaemia and to describe the clinical parameters, risk factors and outcome. Review of medical records of cats with urethral obstruction and anaemia.

Urethral obstruction, commonly known as a urinary blockage, is a life-threatening condition that occurs primarily in male cats. The urethra is the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body.

Ureteral obstructions are becoming increasingly common in cats and can lead to serious health issues if left untreated. This is why early diagnosis is critical to prevent long-term complications.

If your cat is suffering from a ureteral obstruction, a Subcutaneous Ureteral Bypass (SUB) device may be the solution to restore their health.

Performing a urine dipstick test on your cat at home can be a valuable tool for monitoring health. This test may be recommended if your cat is diabetic or has chronic kidney disease.
