Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD): Causes, Signs and Treatment
Feline lower urinary tract syndrome (FLUTD) is divided into obstructive and non-obstructive types. Obstructive means the urethra is fully or partially blocked. Within 2–3 days of complete blockage, urine retained in the bladder flows backward to the kidneys; this back-pressure suppresses glomerular filtration, causing waste and toxins to accumulate in the blood and leading to uremia.
