Males tend to suffer from this disease more often than females because their urethral opening is narrower. The blocked cat must be brought in on time in order to start treatment immediately. Once the cat s condition is stabilized then the blockage will be removed. Surgery can be performed on a male cat to lower the incidence of obstruction only if there is no reasonable alternative. The surgical procedure involves castration and the opening of the urethra to make a wider conduit for the urine.
Home care depends on the cat s condition and recommendations from the veterinarian.
You re veterinarian will prescribe the type of food that should be given. Always supply clean, fresh water. Feed small meals on a frequent basis. Keep an eye on your pet s litterbox behavior to make sure there is no recurrence. Many cats continue to have problems with obstruction, while others never have a problem again.
