Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD)
FLUTD is a fatal condition that usually occurs in castrated, male cats. It is a result of excessive crystal formation, which lead to blockage of the urinary passages. FLUTD manifests with:
- Frequent urination or inability to urinate
- Painful urination
- Blood in the urine
If properly approached, the condition can be successfully managed. It should be noted that urethral blockage in cats is considered an emergency. The goals of the therapy are to eliminate the blockage and reduce the pain. The best way to prevent FLUTD is by feeding an adequate diet to castrated males.
