Hello there,
I'm sorry to hear that your cat is experiencing this. Seeing urinary blood clots can be alarming, especially in a cat with chronic kidney disease (CKD) that's just been treated for a urinary tract infection (UTI).
The blood clots likely indicate some bleeding in the urinary tract, which could be due to inflammation from the recent UTI. Cats with CKD are sometimes more prone to urinary issues because their kidneys are not as effective at filtering toxins, making infections more likely and potentially harder to recover from.
At home, make sure your cat is well-hydrated, as good hydration can help flush the urinary system. You can encourage this by providing fresh water and even offering wet food if your vet approves.
Keep an eye on your cat for any signs of discomfort, like straining to urinate, blood in the urine that doesn’t improve, a poor appetite, or lethargy. These can indicate more serious issues like a worsening infection or even stones, which would require veterinary attention.
It's important to keep in close contact with your vet for a tailored treatment plan. If things don't improve or you're worried, consider booking a video consult with Dial A Vet. We can help you assess your cat's condition and guide you on the next steps.
Take care, and I hope your kitty feels better soon!
