Summary Thoughts

1. Feline lower urinary tract syndrome, this syndrome is referred to as FLUTD. Clinically, it is common to have difficulty urinating due to urethral obstruction caused by stones, urinary crystals or urinary casts. Affected cats will suffer from frequent urination, difficulty urinating, hematuria, etc. When the urethra is completely blocked and anuria occurs. A bladder filled with urine is palpable on palpation. If severe cases are not treated in time, bladder rupture, peritonitis, kidney failure and even death may occur. If the urethral obstruction is not resolved within 36-48 hours, typical post-renal azotemia may occur, including anorexia, vomiting, dehydration, weakness, and even coma. Acidosis, tachypnea or bradycardia may also occur. Sudden death is possible.

2. Causing factors include genetics, food, physical constitution, environment, drinking water, disease, infection, etc.

If the orifice is severely blocked and cannot be inserted normally with a urethral catheter, you can use a 5ml syringe filled with saline and connected to the indwelling needle hose for flushing.
