White secretions from cat's urethra
If your cat has a white secretion from its urethra, it may be due to inflammation of the urinary tract or renal abnormalities caused by certain factors. It is recommended to bring your cat to the hospital for inspection as soon as possible. If the secretion is long-term and relatively thick, there is a possibility of urinary tract blockage in cats. Therefore, it is necessary to deal with it in a timely manner.
White secretions from male cat's urine
White secretions from a male cat's urine may be caused by the following conditions. These include cystitis, urethritis, urethral calculi, and other diseases that cause male cats to urinate white; chronic nephritis, glomerulonephritis, and other kidney diseases that cause renal cell degeneration and shedding, resulting in white urine. Owners are advised to bring their cats to the hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner.
Secretions from female cat's urethra
When a female cat experiences this condition, it is necessary to conduct a differential diagnosis. First, analyze the color of the secretion. If it is a purulent secretion, it may indicate a severe vaginal or uterine infection, and more examinations such as ultrasound and X-rays may be required. Secondly, check if the secretion flows out from the urethra. If it flows out with urine and is red, it may indicate a urinary syndrome. Therefore, it is essential to analyze the secretion. If unable to analyze and differentiate, it is recommended to investigate both the reproductive and urinary systems. The uterus, vagina, urethra, bladder, and kidneys are the key screening objects.
What tests to do for urinary tract problems
When a cat has urinary tract problems, the following examinations should be conducted: whether the proteinuria, crystalluria, and hematuria are caused by drugs, check if sulfonamides have been used recently. Urethral obstruction, renal calculi, and bladder calculi can be examined with ultrasound and X-rays. If renal function is impaired, a blood test for biochemical examination can be taken.
