Urolithiasis in cats
Cats with urolithiasis have stones in their urinary tract. This could mean the bladder, urethra, kidneys or ureters. 25% of cats with lower urinary tract disease have bladder stones. Untreated urolithiasis can result in urinary blockages and even death.
Urolithiasis in cats causes bladder irritation, infection and urinary tract blockages (blocked bladder). Uroliths include everything from tiny particles, like sand, to large single stones. And often both together. There are multiple treatment options, depending on the type of stone and location, but the condition often recurs. Always call a vet if your cat shows signs of difficulty or discomfort peeing or has blood in their urine.
