2. Urethritis

Usually caused by gonococcal or non-gonococcal infection, symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and painful urination may occur. As the disease progresses, urination may become difficult. The frequency increases, but the urine output will gradually decrease. It is recommended that the owner take antibiotics for the cat under the guidance of a doctor. Medication can control the progression of the disease and reduce damage to the body.

It is mainly caused by bacterial infection, which leads to inflammation in the bladder, causing the bladder capacity to gradually decrease, thus causing frequent urination. If not treated in time, the condition may become more serious. If it causes symptoms such as difficulty urinating and blood in the urine, it is recommended that the owner take the cat to a regular hospital in time for intravenous infusion of antibiotics, which can control bacterial reproduction and reduce damage to the bladder.

4. Glomerulonephritis

It can cause kidney function damage, affect the normal operation of the body, and can also lead to frequent urination and oliguria. If not treated in time, it may cause Hematuria needs to be improved by taking antibiotics and anti-tumor and diuretic drugs as prescribed by the doctor.
