There are many diseases caused by urinary system problems, such as urinary calculi, urinary tract infections, cystitis and other diseases are common problems. When a cat has a urinary system problem, it's best not to think about solving it yourself. The cat should be sent to the hospital for examination and corresponding treatment as soon as possible, so as not to delay the illness. There are many primary urinary problems in cats. The so-called primary problem is the cat's own problem, which leads to illness under some incentives.
Cats have a high probability of urinary system problems, among which males account for the majority. Because the male cat's urinary system structure, from the bladder to the urination port, is very narrow and curved, such urethral structure is easy to attach bacteria and sticky urine, leading to urinary system problems.
Prevention and care
1. Sterilize the cat
When cats are in estrus, there are a lot of sperm in male cats' urine and secretions in female cats' urine, which will lead to sticky urine, increase the chance of bacterial attachment, and induce urethritis and cystitis. Disordered urine and urinary retention will occur during estrus, which has a great influence on the bladder organs of cats. Therefore, sterilization of cats is one of the effective means to prevent urinary problems.
pay attention to the diet
Feed snacks and homemade cat food as little as possible. Cats don't drink water often, but make sure they can drink enough clean water at any time. It is best not to feed dry food. Ensure that you drink about 200ml of water every day, but don't be too demanding. Usually, please don't give cats high-salt food, such as famous poisonous food, and it's best not to give cats food that eats people, such as ham.
3. Weight
It is best to control the weight of a cat at about ten catties, and not to be too fat. For a cat of medium or small weight, it should be controlled at about eight pounds, which is the healthiest posture for a cat. Don't make them too fat. Being too fat will increase the burden on liver and kidney, which will easily lead to diseases such as urinary system problems.
4. Ensure adequate exercise
Cats usually don't exercise much, so it is necessary to ensure enough exercise every day. Exercise first can make cats drink more water. Secondly, from a physical point of view, cats can jump up and down and move their bodies and organs, especially the bladder, without leaving too much sediment in the bladder.
5. Don't make the cat anxious, afraid or in a bad mood.
Stress urinary problems are caused by emotional fluctuations, which will enhance the endocrine activity of adrenal axis, affect autonomic nerve function, and then affect the nerve center that controls urination, and serious stress urinary system problems will occur.
For cats that have had urinary problems or are naturally timid and sensitive, try to reduce environmental changes and changes in people around them. If they have to go to a new environment, their master must be comforted and accompanied.
6. Don't let cats catch cold, especially cats with urinary system problems.
When the weather changes suddenly, please pay attention to the domestic cat and try to let it rest in a warm place. Some cats will show signs of recurrence because of the sudden drop in temperature, and timely medication can control the disease. Therefore, when it is raining and windy, we should pay more attention to keep warm, so as to avoid abnormal cats.
