Episode 70 - Just a thought... Should I use prazosin in blocked cats?


Listen Later

We’re switching things up in 2025 with a slightly different format. You’ll still get all the great conversations with inspiring people across the veterinary profession, but we’re also introducing shorter, standalone clinical segments to focus on key topics.

 

This week, we’re tackling a common clinical question: Should I use prazosin in my blocked cats?

 

To help us break it down, Dr. Sam Taylor, RCVS Recognized Specialist in Feline Medicine and Veterinary Specialist Lead at International Cat Care, joins us to discuss the latest evidence and best practices when managing feline lower urinary tract diseases.

 

Key Takeaways:

Does prazosin prevent re-obstruction? We look at the latest studies and real-world clinical outcomes.

Multimodal management strategies—what else should be part of your blocked cat protocol?

If you’ve ever debated whether prazosin is a must-have for blocked cats, this episode is for you!
