Why can a cat stop urinating?
The absence of urine in cats, also known as anuria or oliguria depending on its severity, is a serious and potentially life-threatening symptom. There are several possible causes:
- Urethral obstruction, often due to crystals or mucous plugs.
- Severe urinary tract infections or chronic inflammation.
- Advanced kidney disease reducing urine production.
- Stress or behavioral disorders blocking urination.
- Side effects of certain drugs or intoxications.
It is essential to determine the exact cause quickly to avoid serious, even irreversible, complications.
Warning signs not to be ignored
A cat that no longer urinates often shows visible signs that should never be overlooked:
- Frequent unsuccessful attempts to urinate in the litter box.
- Mewling in pain, restlessness or excessive licking of the genital area.
- Abdomen tense or painful to palpation.
- Fatigue, loss of appetite, vomiting or abnormal behavior.
- Total absence of urine in the litter for more than 12 to 24 hours.
These signs indicate a veterinary emergency. Prompt treatment is vital.
How can we deal with this problem effectively?
A cat that has stopped urinating should be seen by a vet as a matter of urgency. Obstruction can lead to serious poisoning of the body and death within a few hours if left untreated.
Actions to be taken :
- Immediate veterinary consultation to detect obstruction or kidney problem.
- Infusion, urinary catheterization or surgery in case of obstruction.
- Regular monitoring of renal function and urinary system after stabilization.
At the same time, natural support can be provided for the kidneys and urinary tract, particularly after the critical phase, to prevent recurrence.
