Lower Urinary Tract Infections: What They Are and How to Recognize Them 

Lower urinary tract infections affect the bladder and urethra. Furthermore, we are not just talking about urinary tract obstructions (which are common in male cats), but also about cystitis and stones (which are not necessarily obstructive).

Have you ever heard of struvite stones in cats? It’s a condition characterized by the formation of stones in the urinary tract. The most common symptoms are abdominal pain and difficulty urinating.

To determine whether your cat has a lower urinary tract issue, look out for some of these symptoms:

• there is blood in the urine;
• The cat is having trouble urinating and is whining in pain;
• urines more often than usual and has trouble holding it in;
• the cat is licking its genital area excessively ( this can lead to severe irritation!); 
• He is aggressive and in a bad mood.

WARNING! If you notice that your cat is unable to urinate, call your veterinarian immediately and schedule an appointment. Otherwise, the blockage could lead to acute kidney failure within a couple of days.

In any case, our advice is always to take your cat to the vet. Only an expert can advise you on the best course of action for your pet’s well-being.   

What are Urinary kibbles used for? 

Urinary kibble can be used both to dissolve existing struvite stones and to prevent the formation of new stones. 

In fact, the Urinary cat kibble formula contains reduced levels of the minerals that make up struvite (phosphorus and magnesium).

However, remember that not all calculations are the same!! 

For this reason, it’s always important to visit a veterinarian, who will be able to determine the type of condition. 

In short, in addition to the specific treatment your veterinarian recommends, it’s a good idea to supplement your cat’s diet with a specialized food, such as Urinary dry food. This will help speed up your cat’s recovery. 

Cat Urinary Food: Does It Also Help Prevent Issues? 

Urinary dry food can also be effective in preventing struvite. However, if your cat isn’t prone to urinary issues, we recommend not restricting their diet.
