Craig and I maintain which we've moved to our own property. A cat with FUS can exhibit one, some, or even all of the symptoms. Any cause resulting in particulate debris in the urine is capable of causing obstruction in the male cat. Males are much more likely to get this disease than females. There is no known means of prevention.
Treatment can vary from diet to surgery.
Symptoms May appear periodically during the life of the cat. In addition to the above symptoms, small particles may lodge in the male urethra and cause complete obstruction with the inability to pass urine-this is a life and death situation if not treated quickly. Gentle feeling of the cats abdomen reveals a tennis ball size structure which is the overdistended urinary bladder. Bladders can be permanently damaged as a result. In addition, any condition that causes inflammation, malfunction, or abnormal anatomy of the urinary bladder.
