I investigated the cat lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD) (with urine images) September 5, 2019





This is Shion-chan.

I went to the hospital because of frequent urination and asked for medicine.
Who is frequent urination? (Urine image available) September 3, 2019
Shion-chan, he had given medicine.   September 4, 2019



Somehow he can take medicine and eat.
(Mixed with rice)

Even if I give rice, he doesn’t eat all at once,
He quit eating a little, and repeated

Did you decide  medicine  in food?

And a little pounding.

The number of times decreased slightly, the amount per time increased, and I wonder if it has been organized. (Why are there only green toilets ????)

Unlike usual, rice is only wet, so it should be more peeing.


It seems to be an urinary tract disease and cats.

In fact, I had a little research on Keika-chan's suspicion of idiopathic cystitis,


I checked it again this time.

As an example, "A detailed cat disease picture encyclopedia"




Lower cat urinary tract disease

Causes: One or more urinary tract stones or urethral plugs, bacterial urinary tract infection, cystitis or urethritis, anatomical abnormality, bladder or surrounding tumor, urinary tract obstruction, one or more lesions in the bladder or urethra Caused by doing. If no clear cause can be identified, idiopathic cystitis is diagnosed.
Features: Symptoms called lower urinary tract symptoms (described later) are observed when there are lesions in the bladder or urethra. This is a relatively common disease in cats. Among cat lower urinary tract diseases, it is said that idiopathic cystitis is the most common. Next, stones and obturators are the most common diseases, but in the case of male cats, there is a high risk of causing urethral obstruction. It is said that urinary tract infections are relatively low because normal cat urine cannot reproduce bacteria, but there are cases where the urinary tract is damaged, old cats over 10 years old, basic diseases (kidney disease, diabetes, etc.) Etc.) increases the risk of infection. Cat urinary tract damage and anatomical abnormalities are rare.
Symptoms: Frequent urination, prolonged urination time, urination in inappropriate places, painful urination (squeaking during urination), hematuria, abscess, incontinence, and various lower urinary tract symptoms.
Diagnosis: Diagnosis is based on a combination of physical examination, urinalysis, and image diagnosis. In the urine test, if necessary, it is necessary to conduct a bacterial culture test to confirm the presence of urinary tract infection. If it is a urinary calculus, it can be confirmed by X-ray examination, but in order to see the mass lesion in the bladder and the state of the mucous membrane, other ultrasonography is also necessary. If urethral obstruction is suspected, urethrography should be performed.
Treatment: Depending on the type of illness, if there is urethral obstruction due to small stones or obturators, sufficient infusion therapy is possible if the obstruction is removed immediately and the patient has postrenal renal failure I do. If the urethral obstruction is repeated many times and the inflammation of the urethra is severe, consider an operation that widens the urethra. In the presence of urinary tract infection, appropriate antibiotic administration is important. Idiopathic cystitis often improves after a few days without treatment, but the recurrence rate is also high. Dietary therapy, lifestyle improvement, and various drug therapies are being studied, but there are no effective treatments.
Prevention: In the case of idiopathic cystitis, it has been proposed to drink enough water (considering changing the food to wet) and to improve the living environment (clean toilets, securing a safe place).


Continuing,

From "cat medicine",
I examined "cat mite tick disease" in 「CAT MEDICHINE」.    June 21, 2019




Lower urinary tract infection

It refers to infections mainly in the bladder and urethra except for the kidneys.
? : Causes There are many causative diseases such as bladder stone disease, crystallography, bladder tumor, prostate disease.
! : Symptoms General symptoms of urological diseases such as hematuria, frequent urination, difficulty in urination.
+: Diagnosis A urinalysis is performed, and if urinary neutrophils or recent presence is found, a lower urinary tract infection can be suspected. In that case, check for the presence of the disease causing the disease.
/: Treatment A urine sensitivity test (culture test) is performed when performing a urine test. Based on the results, the optimal antibiotic is selected and administered. If bleeding is severe, use a hemostatic agent.


Since stones were also listed together,

Stone disease

? : Cause The inorganic and organic substances in the urine gather together to form crystals, which are further combined into a stone-like solid. In the final, deciduous cells and bacteria form nuclei that form nuclei. Depending on where the stone is generated, the name changes to bladder stone, urethral stone, kidney stone, and ureteral stone.
! : Symptoms Most are bladder stones, and the main symptoms are hematuria and frequent urination as cystitis. Kidney stones and ureteral stones do not show clear clinical symptoms. On the other hand, urethral stones cause urinary retention in male cats.
+: Diagnosis The presence of stones is confirmed by abdominal simple X-ray examination. However, because there are X-ray equivalent stones (such as uric acid stones), abdominal ultrasonography or double contrast examination (contrast medium and air) may be used in combination.
/: Treatment If struvite stones are suspected due to the urine pH and the characteristic crystal form that are inclined to alkalinity, a stone containing urine oxidant is given for several months to perform stone dissolution treatment. Other than that, the focus is on surgical removal. In particular, emergency treatment such as urinary urine treatment may be necessary for urinary retention in male cats.



Urine test. . .

Even Keika-chan did not work, so I thought Shion-chan would be impossible.
I said "not possible" at a veterinary hospital.
I wonder if it was better to try.

The X-ray or echo test was not refused because “the test is more risky”. Dull. . .


Humans are mostly bacterial, and women are more common.
So drink a lot of water and put out fungus. .

I wonder if it would be better to change the rice

But Shion Prince is selfish,
You ca n’t have it.

Don't taste chicken.  The Selfish Prince April 13, 2019




Nee--- Unbiased Prince

Get better soon


Oh, by the way
FLUTD = Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease
That's right
