What to do when your cat has bloody urine and frequent urination but little urine output

The main causes of bloody urine and frequent urination in cats are considered to be urinary system diseases, such as urethritis, cystitis, and urinary tract stones. At the same time, considering that the cat has little urine output, there may be blockage in the urethra, and it cannot be ruled out whether it involves the kidneys. Due to the severity of the symptoms, it is recommended to bring the cat to a pet hospital in time to avoid delay in treatment.

When a cat has symptoms of bloody urine, frequent urination, and little urine output, it means that the problem is already serious. At this time, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly, and it is not recommended to continue observing or blindly use related drugs.

The causes of bloody urine and frequent urination but little urine output in cats mainly include urinary tract infections, urethral stones, and bladder stones, as follows:

Urinary tract infections mainly include urethritis, cystitis, and other diseases. Clinical symptoms mainly include frequent urination and hematuria. Cats will exhibit frequent behavior of squatting in the cat litter box, and they will also make painful sounds while urinating. If urethritis is not treated promptly, the inflammation will increase the stimulation of the mucous membrane, leading to ulcers, hyperplasia, and other symptoms. Cats may experience difficulty urinating, and even the inflammation may spread, leading to serious diseases such as nephritis. The treatment principle for urinary tract infections is to control the infection, and if necessary, oral and urethral irrigation can be used for treatment.

Urethral and bladder stones cause bloody urine and frequent urination in cats because the stones stimulate the mucous membrane. If the stones completely block the urethra, it will lead to urethral occlusion. Smaller stones can be removed through urethral irrigation, while larger stones that cannot be flushed out require surgical removal.

The primary principle of preventing urinary system diseases is to ensure that cats drink an adequate amount of water every day, and to avoid performing unsanctioned urinary catheterization.
