Why is my cat peeing pink, avoiding litter box, and losing weight?

It does look like the urine is blood tinged. It may be that she has some crystals in her urine, bladder stones, or a urinary tract infection, though these conditions often result in symptoms of frequent urination, pain while urinating ( sometimes yowling in the box, or seeming to be in and out of the box, or urinating inappropriately outside of the box). Another possibility would be a toxin exposure; acetaminophen is extremely toxic to cats and causes the urine to appear bloody. Since she isn't acting ill at all, this seems unlikely; however, I would advise that you ensure there hasn't been a possible exposure. If she's eating, drinking, acting ok, not lethargic, no vomiting, diarrhea, change in breathing, etc, its not an emergency (UNLESS SHE'S GOTTEN TYLENOL), but take her in to your vet at your first convenience. Unfortunately there really isn't anything to be done at home without knowing what the cause is. Ensuring she is drinking plenty of water by keeping multiple water sources available throughout the house, and feeding canned/wet food are both good ideas for urinary health, regardless of the cause of the issue. Thank you for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

Poor kitty. Cats can have blood in their urine as a result of stress, bladder stones or even an underlying urinary tract infection. As long as he is urinating readily with no excessive straining, vocalization, or lethargy, he shouldn't be in any immediate danger. I would recommend taking him in to your vet within the next day or two to have a urinalysis done so that he can ge properly diagnosed and treated. Until then, continue to monitor him for any of the symptoms that I mentioned above, which would warrant an emergency visit to the vet. Otherwise, a regular vet visit is appropriate. Best wishes with your pet Beef and I hope he gets his urinary issues resolved soon.

It sounds like Belle has blood in her urine. This could be due to bacterial infection, idiopathic cystitis, crystals in the urine or bladder stones. Belle needs to go to the veterinarian tomorrow to get her urine checked. These conditions are uncomfortable so the doctor will give her pain medications and treatment. Most cats will generally go back to using the litter box once the infection is cleared. I hope she starts feeling better soon!

It could be a urinary infection or a bladder inflammation it could also be coming from the anal area which would make me suspect of a gastrointestinal issue. either way i would strongly advise to take her to the vet ASAP in order to get it treated.

It could be Snow is suffering from feline idiopathic cystitis or bladder stones. She will need to see a vet for this problem. If she appears otherwise healthy and happy, eats and drinks plenty, you can wait until Monday morning. If she appears lethargic, ill or distressed, or if the urine appears very bloody, then she should be seen by a vet ASAP. Feed her wet/canned food, add water to it, and make sure she drinks a lot of water to help flush the bladder. Best of luck, I hope this helps!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor PP! No, Petco/VetCo is not a full service vet, the clinics only do vaccinations and wellness services NOT sick appointments. PP needs to see a Vet today. Causes of bloody urine are: stress bladder inflammation (cystitis), urinary tract infection, crystals in the urine or bladder stones. Prevent her from urination by keeping her in her carrier or in a room with out a litter box for a few hours before the appointment so the Vet can collect a urine sample to test. If she has a urinary tract infection she will be put on antibiotics. I wish you the best!

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.
