What are the reasons for a female cat's urine to be red?

Usually, the causes of a female cat's urine being red include urinary system diseases, heat, and lochia discharge. A female cat with red urine may be due to blood in the urine. When a cat shows urine bleeding, it is not recommended to blindly feed drugs. It is advised to find the cause of the urine bleeding in female cats before conducting symptomatic treatment. In daily life, it is necessary to supervise the female cat to drink more water and try various ways to increase her interest in water, such as using flowing water feeders and placing more water bowls in active areas.

Firstly, urinary system diseases such as cystitis, urethritis, and calculi can cause hematuria in female cats. When a female cat has a urinary system disease, she usually experiences difficulties and pain during urination, and may emit painful sounds while urinating. When a female cat has a urinary system disease, she needs to be catheterized and fed antibiotics to control secondary infections, with the treatment principles of消炎利尿，analgesia, and symptomatic treatment. It is also necessary to fit the female cat with an Elizabethan collar to prevent licking and bacterial infection.

Secondly, when a female cat is in heat, it can cause a false appearance of hematuria, accompanied by howling, clinginess, and running away. If there is no intention to breed the cat, it is recommended to take the cat to the pet hospital for sterilization surgery promptly. Sterilization surgery can help prevent reproductive system diseases in female cats, such as pyometra and mammary tumors, and extend their lifespan to a certain extent.

Lastly, for female cats who have just given birth, hematuria may be caused by the lochia discharge period. It is necessary to take the cat to the pet hospital for injection of antibiotics and oxytocin to help the cat relieve pain and contract the uterus. Once the cat has finished passing the lochia, she will improve.
