Feline Urethral Bleeding

There are several reasons that can cause feline urethral bleeding, which usually include:

1. Accidental ingestion of toxic substances by the cat, resulting in ruptured red blood cells, hemolytic anemia, and urinary bleeding.
2. Kidney stones or traumatic injuries causing kidney vessel ruptures and urinary bleeding.
3. Bladder stones, bladder inflammation, urethral stones, etc., causing mucosal structure damage in the affected area and urinary bleeding.

Can urine bleeding heal itself?

No, active treatment is required. The treatment for feline urine bleeding depends on the cause. If the cat has symptoms such as frequent urination and urine bleeding, but eating, mental state, and stool are normal, it is likely caused by bladder inflammation. In this case, we should encourage the cat to drink more water or increase the amount of wet food. This will dilute the urine, alleviate the condition, and gradually improve. If the urine bleeding does not improve, consult a veterinarian promptly.

Can urine bleeding cause infectious peritonitis?

During the course of infectious peritonitis in cats, urine bleeding may be a symptom. This is usually caused by one of the following reasons:

1. Virus infection leads to the formation of granulomas in the cat's liver, resulting in liver function damage and abnormal coagulation function, thus causing urine bleeding.
2. Urinary system diseases, such as kidney stones, bladder stones, bladder inflammation, etc.

How to deal with urine bleeding?

Feline urine bleeding may indicate inflammation or stones in the urinary system. It is recommended that owners take their cats to the hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner. If the cause is inflammation, owners need to feed the cat antibiotics and inject hemostatic drugs. If it is due to urethral or bladder stones, ultrasounds are used to determine the size and location of the stones. If necessary, surgical treatment is performed.
