Cat with FLUTD and food allergies

Hello there! I'm sorry to hear your feline friend is dealing with feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD) and food allergies. These conditions can be tricky, but let's see how we can help your kitty feel more comfortable.



FLUTD can cause symptoms like straining to urinate, frequent attempts to urinate, and even blood in the urine. It's often linked to stress, which can lead to inflammation and discomfort. Meanwhile, food allergies might cause skin irritations or gastrointestinal issues.



At home, ensure your cat has access to fresh water at all times; hydration can help ease urinary discomfort. Stress relief is vital, so consider a quiet space where your cat can relax. Minimizing environmental stressors, like sudden changes or loud noises, is helpful too.



For food allergies, keep an eye on the diet and avoid common allergens such as certain proteins or grains. If your vet has recommended a specific hypoallergenic diet, sticking to it is important.



Please watch for any signs of increased distress, such as lethargy, complete refusal to eat or drink, or a complete inability to urinate. These are emergencies and require immediate veterinary attention.



If you're seeing any concerning signs or just want a more personal touch, I encourage you to book a video consult with us at Dial A Vet. We're here to help support both you and your cat through these challenges.
