Straining to Urinate A Warning Sign of ’Urinary Tract Stones’ in Cats
Straining to pee? It could be a sign of Feline Urinary Tract Stones!
JJ the cat was brought in after showing signs of frequent litter box visits and straining to urinate but producing very little urine. After an X-ray, vets discovered 4 small bladder stones blocking the tip of his urethra
Emergency care was needed
A urinary catheter was placed to relieve the blockage, and surgery was planned to remove all the stones. We’re happy to report that JJ is now fully recovered and can urinate normally again!
Signs cat parents should never ignore
- Spending too long in the litter box
- Straining to urinate, but little to no urine
- Dribbling urine or abnormal color
- Crying or showing discomfort while urinating
Urinary tract stones are more common in cats than many realize. If left untreated, they can lead to serious infections or even kidney failure. If you notice these signs in your cat, don’t wait see your vet immediately. Your fur baby might be battling more than just a stubborn bladder.
