Urolithiasis is considered the most life-threatening disease in cats.

A common pathology characterized by the formation of stones and sand in the organs of the urinary system.

Urolithiasis occurs in cats due to a sedentary lifestyle, excess weight and poor nutrition.

Also, poor water quality, infections or pathological processes in the body increase the risk of developing the disease.

In addition, urolithiasis is more common in male cats than in female cats. Persian, British shorthaired, and Scottish fold breeds are most often affected by urolithiasis.

Sometimes, as practice shows, the disease does not manifest itself immediately.

Symptoms of ICD

By the animal's behavior, it is possible to understand and stop the disease before it begins to threaten the pet's life.

You should be wary if your cat has pain when going to the toilet, there is blood in the urine, or if it refuses to eat.

Vomiting, changes in behavior or body temperature will be a reason to contact your veterinarian for help.
