Get to know Pickles! 🥒We would love to share how important it is to share and educate each other on proper care for animals! Pickles is a special needs cat that has Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD). FLUTD includes abnormalities in the construction and function of the bladder and the urinary canal. 🐱Symptoms:1. Difficult or painful urination2. Increased frequency of urination3. Crying out while urinating4. Blood in the urine5. Inappropriate urination (that is, outside of the litter box)6. Frequent licking of the genital regionLUTS often have more than one cause and may be brought on by infections, inflammation, diet, and behavioral issues. Cats with urethral obstruction will often show the above signs, and also will pass little or no urine and will become increasingly distressed. Causes:1. Idiopathic cystitis2. painful bladder condition; urolithiasis (urinary stones), solid material forms in the urinary tract; and urethral obstruction, a blockage of the urinary tractPreventatives:1. frequent recurrences of bladder inflammation2. re-obstruction3. formation of urolithsFortunately, most cats rarely experience the problem again or will have only occasional recurrences!It is very important to us that Pickles goes home with someone who understands his restrictions!
