Urolithiasis in cats with untimely and incorrect treatment can be fatal. It is best to follow special preventive measures so that your pet always remains healthy.
Currently, urolithiasis is one of the most common and difficult to treat. It is dangerous because, even after treatment, it can only retreat for a while, after which it again makes itself felt. Due to urinary retention in the cat's body, kidney function is impaired, cerebral edema and even cardiac arrest occur. Therefore, unfortunately, in especially difficult cases, it is not possible to save the animal. Treatment of a cat with urolithiasis is selected individually in each case. It takes into account gender, age, breed of the animal, the degree of spread of the disease, the presence of other diseases, etc. If you suspect this disease, the pet must be immediately taken to an appointment with a veterinarian, who will conduct a detailed diagnosis and prescribe treatment. The latter consists of taking special medications and performing medical procedures (for example, daily pumping urine from the cat's bladder until the disease recedes and the animal begins to go to the toilet on its own). After the end of treatment, twice a year (usually in spring and autumn), it will be necessary to water the pet with a preventive herbal preparation. These medications usually have a valerian-like odor, so cats can drink them without much resistance. Preventive measures, first of all, provide for the compilation of the correct diet and daily diet for the pet. It is important that the food is fresh. It is best to change it in a bowl twice a day, morning and evening. Eliminate raw fish, chicken, lamb, turkey and pork, as well as eggs from your cat's diet, since these foods contain a large amount of minerals that provoke urolithiasis. In addition, all sour, salty, spicy, sweet and fatty should be excluded. Make sure your cat has a bowl of fresh water at all times.
