My cat is peeing blood and straining. What vet options are affordable?

Blood in the urine can be due to a few different problems. If it is red-colored urine and Lily has been urinating more frequently lately, then it is most likely a bladder infection/inflammation, but could also be a kidney infection. If it appears like fresh blood at the end of the urine stream, then this could indicate a problem with the vagina, cervix, or could be coming from the rectum. Either way, it's best that you take Lily to a veterinarian for treatment soon. If she is going to the litter box and nothing is coming out within the last 24 hours, then this is an emergency and I recommend you take her to the vet immediately. They will be able to locate where the problem is and provide the most appropriate treatment. Either way, Lily will need a professional to diagnose this problem and to provide the most effective treatment. Without good treatment, she can have life-threatening complications. I hope that helps and Lily gets better soon.

Unfortunately you will not be able to just order an antibiotic online. This may not be a urinary tract infection and could be what we call a sterile cystitis. You could start by ensuring she is drinking plenty of water (recirculating water fountains help), switch to canned food and start a supplement called paxon or cranberry supplement treats for cats, which can be found online. If the symptoms are no better, the next step would be to have her seen by a veterinarian for testing and further treatment. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Keru Neku. I recommend that she sees a veterinarian right away. Straining to urinate, not producing urine or having blood tinged are typically signs of an emergency. She needs to be evaluated. Urine testing, blood work and x-rays of her bladder may be needed. She could have inflammation, an infection or a bladder stone. Based on these results, the veterinarian will determine how best to treat her. I hope this information helps!

This condition can be very uncomfortable for your dog. If left untreated she will be in constant, chronic pain and discomfort. If you are unable to give the proper treatment to keep her healthy and comfortable you may want to consider finding someone else that can care for her medical needs.

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Mamacat most likely has cystitis. It is usually related to bacterial infection of the bladder but it may be due to bladder crystals or stress. Please, take her to your local vets for an appointment, as most likely she will need a course of antibiotics to get better.

The only thing you can do is bring Billie Jo to a veterinarian as soon as possible. I would recommend seeing if you can find another veterinarian open but if that is your only option then once they are open go in. She will most likely need blood work and x-rays to check her kidney values and make sure she doesn't have bladder stones. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Poor Panbeh! It sounds like he has a bad urinary tract infection. This is very painful-like peeing razor blades. He could also have bladder stones or a urethral blockage. I recommend getting him to a vet ASAP to check his urine and get a radiograph of his bladder for stones. They can then start him on antibiotics and pain medications. Good luck and kisses to Panbeh!
