Feline lower urinary tract disease: an update

FELINE lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD) describes a collection of conditions that can affect the bladder and/or urethra of cats. Unfortunately, since the urinary tract can respond to insult in only a limited number of ways, the clinical signs are rarely indicative of a particular disease. While there are many conditions that can result in signs of FLUTD, the vast majority of cases are idiopathic. This article discusses possible aetiologies and describes a stepwise approach to diagnosis and management.
