Urinary diseases are a big problem for many pet owners. As a rule, this disease manifests itself when the cat reaches the age of 9 years and older. Urination becomes frequent and may contain blood. It requires an examination of the pet, the prescription of drugs and, if necessary, the intervention of a veterinarian from a good veterinary clinic, such as VetDrug.com.ua, a catheter is inserted to remove urine.


What will be done for first aid?

In the first stages of the disease, a picture is observed that the cat constantly sits on the cat toilet, pees little by little, stops jumping, often lies down. Urine with blood is possible - in this case it is necessary to make the cat drink a lot of water. Place bowls of water around the house, cats are very curious animals and will definitely drink water. Leave the water in mugs or small dishes. Eliminate grain food completely. Buy canned food and dilute it in a bowl of water. Such diluted feed is given to the cat until the body is completely healed. It is necessary to unsolder the cat immediately, since every trip to the toilet brings him great discomfort and is very painful. Involve the cat in games, make it run and move, because with the help of water and physical exertion, harmful bacteria are washed out faster. If the cat has recovered, urination returns to normal. As usual, you can not show yourself to the veterinarian, but for insurance, you can pass tests on the animal.



What to do if the complications are serious?



In this case, it is necessary to consult a doctor, as retention of urine can lead to death. If the cat is lethargic and not eating, it is very important to show it to the doctor. Most often, stones in the urinary bladder that inhibit urination are found in cats; in cats, these diseases pass faster and are rare.

How to determine violations?

The bladder will become so large that the cat won't even let you touch it. With the help of a doctor, a catheter is inserted into the animal to drain urine and improve the animal's condition. The cat is left in the hospital for several days, it is possible that anesthesia will be required during administration. He is injected with a liquid for dehydration and his general condition is monitored. After two days of treatment, the catheter is removed and the animal's behavior and how it goes to the toilet are observed. Next, you will need the care of the host, a proper diet and plenty of drinking. You should fully follow all the doctor's recommendations. If you are not confident in the competence of the doctor, it is better to change the vet and see a second doctor. An unprofessional veterinarian can seriously injure a pet.

In more advanced cases, surgery with anesthesia is required to form the urethra. The operation is performed only when the risk of death without its performance is very high. Here it is very important to choose a competent specialist, consult several doctors. After the operation, the animal is under the supervision of a veterinarian for 7 days.
