Feline education or FUS syndrome is a very common condition in cats. Also can be very costly condition for treatment as well as a deadly condition if it goes untreated.

Just disturb FUS is a urinary tract infection include kidney and bladder stones, urinary and bladder blockage (infection or inflammation of the bladder)

The symptoms of the FUS contain straining to urinate, urinating frequently, unable to urinate, blood in urine, abnormal or unusual places to urinate, painful abdomen, crying from the pain.

The condition can cause bladder stones or crystals form the cyst. Also may cause the urethra ever will strengthen and become irritated. When these stones or crystals move by the bladder to the urethra is VERY painful to pass through the urethra. If stones or crystals are too large to pass then they can cause a urinary blockage. A barrier, whether a partial blockage or a full block would cause the bladder to begin inflating a balloon and greater San as if filled with urine. Two concerns threatening life, filled with urine and cat having any way of emptying of the bladder bladder begin to develop. The first is that the cyst will get so full that it would rupture-the second is that the inability to empty the bladder causes toxins to build inside the cat's body which would poison the cat.

Feline syndrome education is more common in male cats, female cats because of size taken from the urethra of male cats are smaller than females.

This is a fatal. If you believe that your cat may have this condition to the veterinarian or animal emergency hospital.

If the condition is not that bad, and the cat is still able to urinate on themselves the veterinarian may treat the cat with antibiotics and subcutaneous fluids. It is also a smart idea for a veterinarian to send both blood and urine samples in the laboratory. An array of chemistry urinalysis and blood can give valuable information about the State cats.

If the cat's condition is bad enough that the trouble urinating the veterinarian might want to hospitalize the cat. By hospitalizing the cat, the veterinarian can put urinary catheter to empty the bladder. You may also place an intravenous catheter and give the patient IV fluids and force tries to purge the stones out of the bladder. Radiography of the abdomen is a good idea to try to see the stones in the bladder. If the stones are large enough to see in radiography, which probably would not pass through the urinary catheter, and should be removed.

The veterinarian will likely be want to send both blood and urine samples in the laboratory. Urinalysis can verify the presence of stones or crystals, and the name of the type. Knowing the type of pieces, the veterinarian may recommend the owner, the types of foods for cats owner should feed into the future to avoid these stones re-occurring. Send blood to the veterinarian laboratory also helps discover important values in the blood [of blood urea nitrogen (file order), creatininelevels]. These values will help you know if the build up of urine caused toxicity in the cat that would be a concern.

In most cases, the cat will remain in hospital for three to five days to flush the bladder. At the end of that time, the veterinarian will remove the urinary catheter and see if the patient develops another obstacle. If the patient presents a new block, the owner is usually given an option to Remove the stones, products, or to try the urinary catheter for another three to five days. Of course again without guarantees stones will pass over that period.

In some cases, can be repeated acute Feline syndrome education. Male cats with recurring FUS may be helped by a special service, also known as Uresthrostomy or PU Perineal. Many people loosely call a gender reassignment surgery. The surgery involves removal of the end of the penis and the extension of the urethral opening, actually allow free passage of all crystals. This procedure is not intended to remedy the situation. It simply reduces the risk of life-threatening urinary blockage.

I have worked in veterinary medicine for over 20 years. I began work on my first animal hospital in 1988 as a technical animal health. Since then I worked for a pharmaceutical company for veterinary and veterinary laboratories. In 1996, I opened my own emergency animal hospital. In 2001 I was in the hospital to include non-emergency services. I think all animals and the outdoors to healing in my life. We enjoy every day of my life.
