The main causes of urethral bleeding in cats include urethritis, urethral stones, bladder stones, urethral trauma, etc. Among them, the cause of stones is relatively common, because most cats do not like to drink water and are prone to stones. Clinical symptoms include frequent urination, increased frequency of urination, painful urination, hematuria, etc. Urethritis can also cause hematuria, mainly because inflammation stimulates the mucous membrane, and there is also an increase in ammonia smell. It is recommended to seek medical treatment in time.
1. Blood dripping from the urethral orifice of male cats
Generally, the main reason why cats lick the affected area is that the cat's urinary tract is uncomfortable, and the cat will lick its genitals. It is recommended to observe the cat's urination and check whether there is difficulty in urinating or dripping urine. If the cat cannot hold back its urine, you can give it a urinary bladder to improve urinary tract problems. If you are holding back your urine, it is recommended to take it to an animal hospital for catheterization as soon as possible, otherwise it will easily cause kidney failure.
2. Blood dripping from the urethral opening of female cats
Consider the following three aspects. First, consider whether it is a normal physiological phenomenon. Female cats will also shed blood when they are in estrus, but the amount will not be large. If the bleeding continues for several days, it is abnormal and requires treatment at the animal hospital. Second, consider whether there is bleeding from the reproductive system. For example, in open pyometra, reddish-brown thick juice will be discharged. Third, consider whether there is bleeding in the urinary system, such as cystitis and urethritis, which may also cause hematuria.
At the same time, owners should also observe whether there are scabs on the cat’s urethral opening. If there are scabs, it is generally not caused by external force, but caused by licking them. Generally, the reason why cats lick is that their urinary tract is uncomfortable, and cats lick their genitals. It is recommended to observe the cat's urination for more than two days to see if there is any difficulty or dripping urine, in this case. If he does not hold back his urine, he can be given urinary tract therapy to improve urinary tract problems.
