Collection: Urinary care for cats

Feline lower urinary tract disease (VUIF) is a general term and includes, for example, urinary stones and other causes of bladder irritation.

The most common disorder is feline idiopathic cystitis (FIC). CIF is an inflammation whose cause is unknown, but it is believed that stress is a major factor.

Although MVUIF can include cat urinary tract infections, it is a rarer condition. If you see blood in your cat's urine, it's most likely a sign of MVUIF, bladder stones, or a urethral plug, not an infection. In dogs, blood in the urine is often a sign of infection, but this is rarely the case in young and middle-aged cats.

MVUIF is also associated with the formation of crystals and stones in the urinary tract which can cause many painful conditions in your cat. Struvite and calcium oxalate stones are common types of stones.

Struvite crystals in your cat's urine can combine with mucus and form a urethral plug. The urethra is a tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body.

If your cat is not urinating freely, a urinary blockage may be the cause. Contact your veterinarian immediately as this condition is urgent and could be fatal if left untreated.

This food is therefore not curative, but rather preventive.
