The term Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD) is a general term, used to describe a variety of disorders, including struvite crystals, oxalate stones, cystitis, bladder stones and kidney stones. FLUTD sometimes involves surgery, particularly in the case of oxalate stones, but prevention is relatively straight forward.

Urinary tract infections are not uncommon in cats. Treatment for the first infection is typically antibiotics prescribed by your veterinarian.

If your cat has repeated or frequent urinary tract infections, your veterinarian will start to look for underlying predisposing factors such as perineal malformation, kidney or bladder stones, urinary retention, nutritional issues, Diabetes or bladder cancer.

If you are worried that your cat may have a urinary tract infection, watch how often he or she visits the litter box. If they go often and only expel a small amount, it may be a sign.

To accurately diagnose a urinary tract infection, your cat will need to visit the Vet. The Vet will help you determine the appropriate course of treatment, if necessary.
