Did you know that feline urinary obstruction is a life-threatening emergency that can happen suddenly—especially in male cats?
🐾 What Is It?
Feline urinary obstruction occurs when your cat's urethra becomes blocked, preventing them from urinating. This can cause toxins to build up quickly in the body and can be fatal if not treated urgently.
🚑 What To Do:
If you see any of these signs, do not wait. This is a true emergency. Call your closest emergency animal hospital immediately. Prompt treatment can save your cat's life.
