Cat barely eats, vomits it back up, small frequent urination, now can’t urinate after a clinic shot — what’s wrong?
This points to urinary blockage from feline idiopathic cystitis, bacteria, or crystals/stones. Vomiting means the blockage may press on the gut or damage kidneys. Emergency catheterization is needed; delay risks post-renal kidney failure.
My cat suddenly can’t urinate – straining with little output for over half a day – what should I do?
Frequent, unproductive straining indicates urinary blockage, an emergency that can burst the bladder or cause kidney failure. Seek immediate veterinary catheterization.
My cat acted oddly after work—normally lively but last night motionless, refusing food/water, licking genitals, crying, repeatedly in the box with no result, even hissed at me. I thought constipation and gave probiotics; this morning one black hard stool, still crying with airplane ears.
Black hard stool means constipation, but check for urine—no pee suggests dangerous urinary blockage needing catheterization. With anorexia and crying it's more than constipation; see a vet.
How do I artificially inseminate a female dog?
First inseminate at the fertile window (days 12–15 of heat). Prepare instruments (insemination bottle, catheter, vaginal speculum, warm water) and sterilize them. Collect fresh semen, clean the vulva with warm water. Then restrain the dog, insert the speculum to find the cervix, and slowly inject semen into the cervix or uterus via catheter or syringe — gently, to avoid injury.
No urination for over 24 hours, keeps licking the area, vulva swollen for a week (thought it was heat since she’s 8 months); one or two bowel movements a day, appetite okay, but low spirits
No urine for over 24 hours may be urinary blockage. If the bladder is full, get microscopy and urinalysis at a vet to tell infection from stone, then catheterize and treat. If the bladder isn't full, heat-related low water, hormone upset, or stress may be the cause — soothe her and encourage drinking; if still no urine, see a vet.
One day I drove two hours with my cat to a new home on a rough road; the cat cried the whole way. At the new home it drank less, had blood in its urine, and low volume—sometimes normal, sometimes bloody.
Severe stress can cause blood in urine; get a vet ultrasound and blood test to rule out infection. Crystals suggest feline idiopathic cystitis—follow vet advice, increase water, keep environment stable. If a urinary blockage occurs, seek immediate catheterization to avoid urethritis and kidney failure.
My cat has frequent urination with small clumps and a slightly hard bladder; what is the cost range?
Urinary blockage needs catheterization, medication, and fluids. Anesthesia costs 400-800 yuan, about 1000 yuan per day, and 3000-5000 yuan over 3-5 days, more if recurrent. Consider pet insurance.
My cat has water kidney (hydronephrosis) from stress; any conservative option?
Surgery is preferred, but with normal labs a conservative try is possible: hospital fluids, catheterization, and vet-prescribed diuretics. Conservative care rarely cures; if no improvement in 3 days, operate.
My cat cannot urinate (urinary blockage)
A blocked cat needs emergency vet catheterization and diagnosis. Stones, stress, kidney failure, or prostate issues may be the cause, each needing different treatment.
Can a cat with difficulty urinating take Shilintong? Is it only for kidney failure?
Use a pet-specific diuretic for difficulty urinating, not the human drug Shilintong. If kidney failure or urinary blockage occurs, catheterization comes first. Follow your vet's guidance.
