Solutions for cats with slight bleeding after having a urinary catheter inserted:

1. Let the cat drink more water. Drinking more water can promote the formation of urine, and the urination process can Flush the urethra. This can alleviate the situation.

2. You can also feed your cat some vegetables and cat grass to supplement it with water and vitamins. Let the cat exercise more and promote metabolism. This can effectively avoid cat urethra blockage.

3. After inserting the catheter to clear the urethra, you need to cooperate with anti-inflammatory, hemostatic and analgesic treatments. This can not only stop bleeding but also treat urinary system diseases in cats.

The reasons for slight bleeding after cat urinary catheter insertion are:

1. Because the cat urethral mucosa is relatively fragile, there will be some damage when the urinary catheter is inserted, but it is normal. Inserting a urinary catheter will not cause much damage to the urethra, but may cause slight congestion of the urethra.

2. Cats may have lower urinary tract problems such as cystitis and urethritis due to stress, infection of adjacent organs, etc.

3. It may be that during the cat's urinary catheterization process, the catheter caused iatrogenic damage to the bladder wall and urethral wall, causing bleeding and excreted in the urine to form hematuria.
