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. If not treated within 3–6 days, the cat can die. The non-obstructive type is milder; with prompt catheterization and proper daily care, it largely resolves on its own within a week.
