Red-brown urine in cats

Red-brown urine in cats can be caused by various factors such as urinary tract infections, cystitis, bladder stones, and urethritis. It is necessary to visit a pet hospital for examination to determine if there are bladder or urethral stones. If there are no stones, inflammation should be ruled out, and cats should be treated with antibiotics and hemorrhage control.

Can cats with red-brown urine recover on their own?

No, active treatment is required. The treatment for cat hematuria depends on the underlying cause. If the cat has symptoms such as frequent urination, hematuria, but eats normally, has a good mental state, and has normal stools, it is likely caused by cystitis. 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.

What to do if your cat has red-brown urine?

Red-brown urine in cats refers to an abnormal urine color. Some cats will drip a few drops of blood-stained urine after urination. If the urination takes a long time, the frequency of urination is high, and the urine is red, the cat may have spontaneous cystitis or bladder stones. This usually requires imaging and biochemical tests at a pet hospital to diagnose. If it is spontaneous cystitis or sandy stones, the cat can be treated with feline diuretic tablets and prescribed urinary tract food. If the stones are large, surgical treatment is necessary.

What drugs should be taken after catheterization for red-brown urine?

Cats with red-brown urine should take antibiotics and hemorrhage control drugs. After catheterization, the cat's urethra may become red, swollen, and bleeding. If not controlled, it can easily lead to infection and possibly kidney disease. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the quality of water cats drink after catheterization. Tap water should not be given to cats, and it is better for them to drink pure water to reduce the likelihood of urinary tract stones recurrence. Cats should also be encouraged to exercise more and maintain a healthy diet.
