My 1.5-year-old male cat was locked in a room two nights ago and peed on the bed; since last night he keeps going to the litter box every 10 minutes but produces no urine. Still the same tonight. What should I do?
This is likely feline idiopathic cystitis, a common lower-urinary issue from stress causing frequent urination with little/no output, risking blockage, blood, even rupture. Get the vet to catheterize and give anti-inflammatory/mucosal-repair meds.
My Cat Woke Up Lethargic, Vomited Clear Fluid, Then Yellow Fluid — What’s Wrong?
White fluid is usually stomach acid and yellow may be bile; causes include liver, pancreas, or stomach disease. A clinic exam is advised.
Male Cat Lost Weight and Is Lethargic
A male cat urinating blood and losing weight likely has urinary disease (crystals, stones, urethritis, FIC). Catheterize if full, test, and treat with stone-dissolving meds or antibiotics; ensure water.
My Unneutered Two-Year-Old Male Cat Suddenly Blocked, First Peed Much Blood Then Yellow-Brown Fluid, Now Can’t Urinate
A blocked cat needs a vet to find the cause; complete blockage requires immediate catheterization to avoid kidney failure or ruptured bladder, plus fluids, antibiotics, and hemostatics. If still urinating, follow vet advice with diuretics and water, and return if it recurs.
My Cat Is Peeing Blood; the Vet Says a Urinary Tract Infection, but Medication Hasn’t Helped. What’s Going On?
Frequent urination and blood in the urine are usually caused by urinary tract disease, including cystitis, stones, crystals, or infection. A veterinary exam such as ultrasound and bloodwork is needed to find the exact cause and treat it accordingly.
What should I do if my cat occasionally has blood in the urine?
Blood in cat urine is usually caused by diet issues, urinary tract diseases, or kidney disease. Feeding salty food or cat food burdens the kidneys and can trigger bleeding. Diseases such as cystitis, urethral infection, or bladder/urethral stones also cause it. Based on your description, the cat's normal appetite suggests it may be in heat; if not, take it to a veterinary hospital to find the cause and provide appropriate treatment.
What happens with a dog’s bladder stones?
Bladder stones cause difficult urination—frequent attempts with little or no output—and painful, whimpering expressions. Scraping the wall causes red/pink blood in urine. Severity depends on size, number, location, infection. See a vet for abnormal urination.
Why is my cat’s urine a little green after urinating, and how to treat it?
Slightly green urine is not normal; normal urine is pale yellow. Occasional green may come from green-pigmented food or medicine and needs no worry. Frequent green urine may mean liver or gallbladder disease or high ketones, or green cat-litter particles dissolved in it; if litter is ruled out, see a vet.
My dog has gallbladder hyperplasia; our local vet says no treatment is needed. What should I do?
The ultrasound shows a thickened, hyperechoic gallbladder wall, possibly with sludge or stones, but ultrasound cannot tell the nature or cause of the hyperplasia; guided needle sampling and blood tests are needed. If the dog is young with severe hyperplasia or mucocele, gallbladder removal is best, then long-term meds, diet, and rechecks with good prognosis. Keep regular light meals, less greasy meat, more low-fat digestible food. Older, suffering dogs may need conservative care or euthanasia per the vet.
What happens when a cat gets carsick?
A carsick cat shows vomiting, drooling, restlessness, rapid breathing, loss of bowel or bladder control, weakness, and poor spirits, and in extremes may faint. Carsickness affects the cat physically and mentally, so relieve it promptly. Avoid long rides, keep the car ventilated, and reduce odors and stress to ease symptoms.
