Feline Bladder Infections

by Eddie Tobey

Cats have a tendency to suffer from bladder infections. The term "cystitis," which literally means inflammation of the urinary bladder, occurs in male and female cats. This disease is also known as Feline Urologic Syndrome (FUS) or Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease.

FUS affects the bladder, resulting in the production of bloody urine that contains microscopic crystals. Bladder infections are generally connected with bladder stones, infection of the bladder wall, and tumors inside the bladder. Bladder infections can also be caused by certain bacteria. Early detection of the disease is necessary to save the cat from acute illness.

Regardless of the cause of the bladder infection, the symptoms tend to be the same: inflammation of the bladder leading to frequent urination; straining and pain during urination; and cloudiness or bloodiness of the urine. In male cats, blockage of the urethra can easily result in the over-expansion of the bladder; the bladder can even rupture with a buildup of toxins, which can lead to death within a few days.

Almost all bladder problems in cats are long-term or recurring; as such long-term management is essential. Proper diagnosis is necessary to find the correct diet, and where necessary, medical and surgical treatment should be pursued. Excessive use of antibiotics may make the animal weak and prone to other diseases.

Precautions should be taken to avoid feline bladder infections. Give the pet natural food as much as possible; if the cat's food is bought from the market, buy a product with less ash content. Always keep the pet's litter box clean. Always let your pet grow in a hygienic atmosphere.
