🐾 When your cat starts having trouble in the litter box, it might be more than just a behavioral issue.
Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD) is a common but serious condition that can cause pain, blood in the urine, frequent or strained urination, and—in severe cases—a complete blockage that becomes life-threatening. Recognizing these signs early can make all the difference.
There are many potential causes of FLUTD, including stress, poor hydration, obesity, diet-related crystal formation, and even genetics. Because every case is different, treatment depends on the root cause. Options may include pain relief, dietary changes, muscle relaxants, or, in some cases, surgery. Antibiotics are used only when a bacterial infection is confirmed.
The good news? With veterinary guidance and the right combination of care, most cats can recover and stay comfortable.
If your feline friend is showing any signs of urinary trouble, don’t wait. Reach out to your veterinarian and ask if compounded medications or custom treatment plans could help.
