Cat went to litter box, came out agitated, low growling, licking genitals frequently; urinated twice today, defecated once. 1 year 3 months, energetic
Licking genitals and growling may be estrus or a urinary disease. If in heat, just prevent infection from licking; if accompanied by difficulty urinating or blockage, consider urinary disease and see a vet.
My kitten urinates very frequently, only a little each time.
Frequent, small urination points to a urinary problem, including urethritis, injury, and cystitis. It is serious; untreated it can cause blockage. See a vet for the right treatment; do not medicate blindly without a cause.
After a month of bladder-stone medicine, will smaller stones rub the bladder more and cause more blood in urine
Treatment depends on stone type; some can't be dissolved by medicine. Large or numerous stones need surgery. Stones always irritate the bladder and cause hematuria. With medical treatment, control inflammation and push water; recheck weekly. If no improvement, consider surgery to avoid blockage or kidney failure.
How is Canadian Go cat food
Go is a well-known Canadian brand, but in 2021 a large poisoning incident occurred; many cats vomited, had bloody stool/urine, liver damage, blockage, even death. Sales and reputation dropped, though some think only certain batches were bad and it offers better value.
My dog always went outside to relieve itself, but recently started urinating indoors randomly.
A dog suddenly urinating indoors may be anxious or have a urinary disease. Calm it if stressed, and see a vet if signs like frequent or blocked urination appear.
For 3 days it hasn’t eaten, drinks very little, and just sleeps. What do I do?
Three days without food usually means illness like FIP, panleukopenia, or pancreatitis; check for fever, pain, urinary block, diarrhea. Long fasting risks fatty liver, so restore eating with palatable foods; if it refuses, get IV fluids.
My hamster can’t eat, has a hard lump in its left abdomen, very firm to the touch and seems painful, and the urination area is a bit swollen. It feels like something bulging in the intestines and very hard; I massaged it last night and it seemed larger this morning.
A hard abdominal mass in a hamster has many causes: intestinal or abdominal tumor, gastric dilation, constipation, intestinal obstruction, kidney swelling, or a full bladder. With a swollen urethra and reduced urination, it may be urine retention from a blockage. These are serious; get an X-ray and abdominal ultrasound at a vet.
My cat urinates frequently but the amount is tiny. What’s wrong?
A male cat may develop frequent/low-volume urination or even blockage from heat, stress, urethral infection, stones, or urinary tumors. Stress cystitis from frequent heat/stress causes frequent urination, dribbling, blood, plus genital licking that worsens infection or causes swelling/blockage. Crystals/stones constantly irritate the bladder; male cats have naturally narrow tracts, causing difficulty/pain or blockage. If still urinating, give more water, wet food, relieve stress. If low/blocked long-term, see a vet for catheterization to avoid bladder rupture/kidney damage.
My Cat Has Been Using the Litter Box Frequently the Last Two Days, Sometimes Producing Nothing, with Little Volume, Crouching a Long Time, and Licking Its Bottom
Frequent litter-box trips with little urine likely signal a urinary issue such as idiopathic cystitis, urethritis, urethral spasm, stones, or blockage, often from strong stress or low water intake. If the cat cannot urinate, seek urgent vet care.
My cat gave birth four days ago and can’t urinate, and there is blood at her vulva—what should I do?
Vaginal bleeding after birth is normal (lochia, lasting 1–2 weeks) as the uterus and vagina recover. But the main problem is postpartum inability to urinate, usually a urethral blockage from urinary disease or a postpartum complication. Take her to a hospital for scans of bladder, urethra, kidneys, and birth canal; long retention risks bladder expansion and organ damage, so don't wait.
