各位貓主人請注意‼️
您知道嗎？公貓最常見的健康問題就是「尿道阻塞」，尿道是貓咪體內排出尿液的重要通道，尿道阻塞會導致尿液無法排出膀胱。由於公貓的尿道較為狹窄，因此更容易出現這個問題。造成尿道阻塞的可能原因包括：
1. 體內產生的結石
2. 尿道栓塞（可由黏液、結晶、血液或炎症細胞等不同物質形成）
3. 腫瘤或腫塊
主人應注意的貓咪尿道阻塞症狀：
1. 排尿頻率較低
2. 貓隻進出貓砂盆時尿液很少或沒有尿液排出
3. 排尿時焦躁不安、哭叫或發出聲音
4. 舔舐生殖器
5. 食慾不振、精神萎靡
6. 嘔吐
如果貓主人發現貓隻有上述任何症狀，應讓立即帶牠看急症獸醫，因為尿液長時間無法排出體外，可能會導致危及生命的併發症，例如：
1. 膀胱破裂 – 尿液滲漏至腹部
2. 腎衰竭
3. 嚴重可導致死亡
在🏥急症醫院中，獸醫會︰
1. 疏通貓的尿道並放置導尿管
2. 進行血液檢查以評估您的貓的腎臟和其他關鍵指標，例如電解質
3. 使用 X 光和超聲波檢查泌尿道影像
4. (如有需要）安排貓咪住院
若您發現上述任何症狀，請前往豐盈動物專科及急症醫院。
Attention cat owners‼️
Did you know that one of the most common problems seen in male cats is urethral obstruction? The urethra is part of the pathway in a cat’s body to eliminate urine therefore its blockage prevents the urine from exiting the urinary bladder. Male cats are more frequently seen with this problem due to their narrow urethra. The blockage of this pathway may be caused by the following:
1. Calculi or stones produced in the body
2. Urethral plug (can be formed from different materials such as mucus, crystals, blood or inflammatory cells)
3. Neoplasia or tumor
Symptoms of a blocked cat that animal owners should watch out for
1. Less frequent urination
2. Cat going in and out of the litterbox with little or no urine produced
3. Restlessness, crying or vocalizing when trying to p*e
4. Licking ge****ls
5. Inappetence, lethargy
6. Vomiting
Cat owners should have their cats seen by the emergency veterinarians if any of these symptoms are seen, as prolonged blockage or prevention of urine from come out of the body can potentially lead to life-threatening complications such as:
1. Urinary bladder rupture – with urine leaking into the abdomen
2. Kidney failure
3. Death in severe cases
In the emergency hospital 🏥 veterinarians will
1. Unblock your cat and place a urinary catheter
2. Perform blood tests to evaluate your cat’s kidneys and other vital factors such as electrolytes
3. Imaging the urinary tract with X-ray and ultrasound
4. Hospitalize your cat needed
