A Complex Cat Condition: Understanding Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease
Cat owners know the challenge of deciphering their feline companion’s likes, dislikes, and desires, beyond a full food dish. Cats have unique personalities and ways of communicating. Some will shift from purring to hissing in what seems to be a nanosecond while others are constant cuddle buddies who rarely make a sound. Cats thrive on a consistent routine, good nutrition, and regular exercise. Subtle changes in your cat’s routine may lead to a complicated medical problem called feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD) which can be life-threatening in some cases. OurAnimal Emergency Care team wants to ensure cat owners understand FLUTD signs, treatment options, and ways to prevent this complex condition.
