Cats unconsciously leaking feces or suffering from cystitis

Cats may experience involuntary urine leakage, frequent urination, or severe cases of blood in the urine. It may be that the bladder becomes swollen after inflammation, and the bladder muscle contraction ability decreases, resulting in the inability to control urination, resulting in urinary incontinence. The treatment period for urinary incontinence caused by cystitis is relatively long, and it can usually be relieved by taking urolithin for about 20 days.

Causes of involuntary urine leakage in cats with cystitis

1. Intubation injury

When performing surgery in the hospital, the urinary catheter will not be opened all the time, but will be opened every few hours. This can exercise the contraction function of the urethral sphincter and prevent urination as soon as the urinary catheter is drawn. However, feline cystitis Few hospitals handle this after intubation, which results in inability to urinate after the tube is removed, and some may suffer from urinary incontinence. This is caused by mechanical damage from the intubation. This damage is generally reversible and usually recovers within a week.

2. Inflammation and pathological changes in bladder tissue caused by bacterial infection

After bacterial infection of the bladder, the bladder mucosa is stimulated to proliferate and even fibrosis, so the bladder wall becomes hard and loses elasticity. As a result, the contraction ability becomes poor, and the cat cannot control urination on its own.

3. Inflammation caused by simple pathological changes (sterile cystitis)

The bladder wall is stimulated by harmful substances (in food) for a long time, resulting in the proliferation and thickening of the bladder wall. This hyperplasia and thickening process is inflammation caused by pathological changes. It does not carry bacterial infection, but such bladder wall is relatively Fragile and therefore susceptible to bacterial infection. Generally, if there is no leakage of urine caused by bacterial infection, the cat will not feel very uncomfortable, and it will not develop quickly, but it will leak urine.
