Welcome to Vet Tales with Dr. Natalie Keith and Dr. Josiah Dame! In this episode, we delve into a common yet often overlooked issue in cats - Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD). Our goal is to educate pet caretakers on the intricacies of this condition and its impact on feline health.

We discuss the symptoms of FLUTD, which include bloody urine, straining to urinate, urinating in unusual places, and excessive grooming. The conversation covers the importance of diagnostics such as ultrasound and urinalysis to differentiate between conditions like cystitis, urinary blockages, and bladder stones.

We also explore various treatment options, from dietary changes to stress management techniques, and even surgical interventions for severe cases. Join us as we share insights and practical advice to help improve the quality of life for cats suffering from urinary issues.

Tune in to learn more about how to identify, diagnose, and manage FLUTD in your feline friends. Your questions and topic suggestions are always welcome!
