Mi GATO NO puede ORINAR 🐱 (Causas y Qué hacer)

Do you think your cat can't urinate? In this video by an animal expert, we explain how to tell and what the causes are. Pay attention and take notes. How can I tell if my cat isn't urinating? It's not easy to tell if a cat urinates a lot or a little because the amount of urine produced is never directly measured. That's why you need to be very attentive to any changes in your cat's elimination behavior. Symptoms include an increase in the frequency of visits to the litter box by the cat. The amount of time the cat spends in the litter box also increases, as well as meowing because the cat feels pain when trying to urinate. On the other hand, the litter doesn't get dirty as quickly as before or it has abnormal colors. We can also observe that the cat starts to urinate outside the litter box, but the position is crouched, that is it is not marking territory. This is because the cat associates pain with the litter box. Since the animal spends more time in the litter box, it is also more susceptible to getting dirty. In addition, it may begin to be observed that the cat's self cleaning behavior is reduced. Other symptoms that we may encounter when our cat does not urinate are frequent licking of the genital area, bloody urine, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, tremors and seizures, heart rate changes, and dehydration. Find out how to tell if your cat is in pain or is not feeling well in the video that we have included in the card. Now that you know how to identify dysoria in cats, let's learn about the possible causes for why your cat cannot urinate. First, urinary stones. These can be formed by different minerals, although strubite crystals are very common in cats. Although the cause that can give rise to stones can be varied, they are closely associated with poor water intake, food with little water in its composition, a high magnesium content in the diet and alkaline urine. Second, urinary infections Infectious cystitis and urethritis usually cause inflammation and narrowing of the urinary tract, making it difficult for cats to urinate. 3. External or internal masses that press on the bladder and urethra. These can be tumors in both females and males or inflammation of the prostate, although this is rare in cats. 4. Inflammation of the penis. This may be mainly due to the presence of hair that wraps around it. 5. Trauma. There may be a rupture of the urinary bladder. Urine continues to be produced, but it is not evacuated to the outside. This is a very dangerous situation for the cat as it runs the risk of acute peritonitis due to the presence of urine in the abdominal cavity. Other causes may include stress, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, congenital anomaly, poor diet or a tumor. What to do if the cat does not Urinate? Obviously, if your cat cannot urinate, this is a serious situation. Therefore, the first thing we will do is go to our trusted veterinarian to have our feline examined. This will help you determine the underlying cause of your cat's inability to urinate, among other symptoms. The guardian of a cat with Condi Surya must be aware that it is a potential situation where the animal can die within 48 to 72 hours due to the generation of acute kidney failure and the animal can enter a urinary in a short time due to the accumulation of toxins in the body. The more time that passes between the onset of dysuria or anuria and the visit to the vet, the worse the prognosis for the animal.
