๐พ Bettyโs Story โ Donโt Ignore Frequent Trips to the Litter Tray! ๐พ
Meet beautiful Betty. ๐
When Bettyโs owner noticed she was repeatedly going in and out of her litter tray without her usual success, they knew something wasnโt quite right and gave us a call.
Following a thorough examination, Betty was diagnosed with cystitis (inflammation of the bladder). Thankfully, her owner acted quickly, allowing us to start treatment and help get Betty feeling much more comfortable.
๐ฑ Signs of cystitis to look out for include:
โข ๐ฝ Frequent trips to the litter tray
โข โ ๏ธ Passing only small amounts of urine
โข ๐ฟ Straining or crying when trying to urinate
โข ๐ฉธ Blood in the urine
โข ๐งผ Urinating outside the litter tray
โข ๐ซฃ Excessive licking around the ge***al area
โข ๐ Changes in behaviour, hiding or seeming uncomfortable
๐จ A very important reminder: If your cat is unable to pass urine at all, especially if they are a male cat, this is a medical emergency. A urinary blockage can become life-threatening very quickly and requires immediate veterinary attention.
At Broughton Ryan Mobile Vets, we know how stressful it can be when your pet isnโt themselves. Weโre here to provide compassionate care in the comfort of your own home whenever possible.
We hope youโre feeling much better, Betty! โค๏ธ๐พ
