What is Feline Urinary Blockage?
Feline urinary blockage is a serious medical problem affecting male cats. It is a urinary tract disorder that falls under the general medical condition known as Feline Urinary Syndrome (FUS). A cat that has feline urinary blockage has an obstruction in his urethra that causes him to be unable to urinate. Feline urinary blockage is extremely painful for a cat and can quickly become life threatening within a matter of hours if it is not treated by a veterinarian. A build up of toxins that are normally expelled in the urine can cause a complete system failure. Whenever a cat, male or female, has difficulty urinating, it should be considered a medical emergency regardless of whether or not it is feline urinary blockage.
