1. Reasons for frequent urination, urgency, and inexhaustible urination in cats
1. Typically, male cats are more prone to frequent urination, urgency, and inability to urinate, and even male cats that have been neutered are prone to these conditions. There are many reasons for this urination, such as urinary stones, urinary tract infections, inflammation, trauma, etc. The most common cause is that cats have urinary stones. Male and female cats have similar chances of developing urolithiasis. Still, because the female cat’s urethra is thick and short, the stones can be excreted during urination so that they will not cause urethral blockage. However, if the stone is too large, it will also damage the urethra as it passes through the urethra, making it extremely painful for the cat to urinate.
2. Urinary retention in cats will lead to kidney damage, which will reduce or even disappear the function of the kidneys to filter blood. The inability of toxins in the blood to be discharged in time may lead to uremia in cats. Suppose the cat’s urethra is blocked due to urinary stones, which leads to poor urination or urinary retention. In that case, the toxins filtered by the kidneys cannot be excreted in time, and the toxins re-filtered by the kidneys will accumulate in the kidneys, causing the environment in the kidneys. Changes increase the burden on the kidneys. In this case, the owner must take the cat to the hospital for catheterization or a puncture to drain the urine.
Second, how to solve cat urolithiasis?
1. Ensure that the cat’s drinking water is clean and sufficient. It is best to give the cat a cold drink. Some cats have a calculus constitution; no matter how to prevent them, urolithiasis will occur. At this time, the owner can consider drinking distilled water for the cat, effectively preventing the cat from developing urolithiasis. However, distilled water does not contain any trace elements, so the owner should feed the cat food containing trace elements while drinking distilled water.
2. Under normal circumstances, the urine of cats is weakly acidic, but excessive intake of vegetables and fruits will cause the urine to be alkaline, leading to urinary stones. Excessive consumption of meat by cats will increase the acidity of urine, so owners must feed cats scientifically to ensure a healthy diet for cats.
If the owner finds sparkling crystals in the cat’s urine, it is urolithiasis. At this time, the owner should pay more attention to the cat’s urination or Give your cat some urinary medicine. If you have any other questions, you can also consult your veterinarian.
