๐ฉบ Urinary Bladder Stones in Female Cats ๐พ
Urinary bladder stones (uroliths) can affect female cats, causing signs like frequent urination, straining, blood in the urine, or inappropriate urination. These stones form when minerals in the urine crystallize and clump together.
Common causes include:
โข Concentrated urine due to low water intake
โข Imbalanced diet (high in certain minerals)
โข Urinary tract infections
โข Altered urine pH
โข Breed and genetic predisposition
Prevention tips:
๐ง Encourage more water intake (wet food, water fountains)
๐ฅฃ Feed a balanced, vet-recommended diet
๐ฝ Keep the litter box clean to encourage regular urination
๐ Regular check-ups and urine tests
Treatment depends on the stone type and may include special prescription diets for dissolution, medications, increased water intake, or surgery in severe cases.
