What is the reason for the poor urination of the Ragdoll cat? It is normal for cats to urinate several times a day! The Ragdoll cat is a rare and precious cat breed. Although it has a gentle personality and strong endurance, if you want to truly raise a Ragdoll cat, you still need patience and love. Owners need to keep an eye out for minor abnormalities in ragdoll cats, as they are likely to be signs of disease.

When you find that your puppet cat is urinating, it has been squatting for a long time without any movement, or there is a phenomenon of difficulty in urination such as increased urination frequency, the owner But be careful! At this time, it should be considered whether there is a urinary tract disease. The characteristics of this disease include clinical symptoms such as hematuria, dysuria, frequent urination, and complete or incomplete urethral obstruction in the puppet cat.

One of the possible causes of poor urination in Ragdoll cats is a blocked urethra. There are two types of urethral blockage, one is the complete blockage type (no single drop of urine or the bladder is swollen like an egg despite a few drops), and the other is the incomplete blockage type (frequent urination, a few drops at a time).  

If the urethra is completely blocked, please ask the doctor to touch the bladder to see if there is any accumulation of urine at the hospital. If there is accumulation of urine, it must be within 24 hours. There are two methods of catheterization, one is surgical catheterization, and the other is bladder puncture to urinate. Then take x-rays to confirm whether the cause of urethral blockage is urethral calculi or urethral flocculation. If it is a calculus, surgery should be taken to remove the calculus. If the floc is blocked, an anti-inflammatory needle should be injected near the urethra. Injections in other places are also possible but not in the urethra. The effect of sealing near the urethra is good. It is best to draw blood for a blood test to check the creatinine value to see if there is any damage to the kidneys. After catheterization, injections should be given.

Bladder stones are one of the more common types of urethral obstruction. Bladder stones are made of crystals in the urine. Crystals can occur if the urine contains the necessary factors for crystal formation. And crystals can form stones over time. The most common urinary stones in cats are bird stones, which are composed of ammonium, magnesium, and phosphoric acid; the other is calcium oxalate.

In the non-completely obstructed type, as long as there is no urine holding phenomenon (bladder enlargement), catheterization can be temporarily suspended, and it can be cured by injection and medicine. There is urine, the urethra is also open but not smooth, frequent squatting in the basin to drip urine) can help urination: press down on its back and tail with the left hand, and squeeze its lower abdomen with the right hand, with moderate force, not hard. If you do it well, you will drip a lot, the more the better, and the stones will be flushed out, but you must immediately catheterize the bladder when you find that your bladder is swollen!

At the same time, when cats are depressed or frightened, endocrine disorders may lead to inflammation of the bladder lining, affecting normal urination, increasing the chance of bacterial infection, and causing more severe inflammation.

Muppet cats need oral anti-inflammatory drugs for urethritis. Remember not to give cats ofloxacin anti-inflammatory drugs. Such anti-inflammatory drugs are indeed It has a good anti-inflammatory effect on human urinary system diseases, but for cats, it is a medicine that can seriously damage the liver and kidney function.
