HOOK

In 2016,  more cats are being treated for difficulty in urination (dysuria) at the Royal Asia Veterinary Surgery. Male cats are mainly affected. Vets refer to the medical  condition as FLUTD (Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease) or FUS (Feline Urological Syndrome). Vets report that stress as a main cause of this dysuria in most cases.


However, for the distressed cat owner, a permanent solution is needed to prevent his cat from not peeing normally. The cat keeps going to the litter box and either urinates blood in the urine in small amounts or not at all. The cat loses appetite and becomes lethargic. The cat may be treated by a vet and pees normally for a few days. Then, the cat cannot pee.

Dr Sing Kong Yuen from Toa Payoh Vets ask Dr Thein Tun Aung of Royal Asia Veterinary Surgery to share his experiences with numerous surgical cases done by him for recurring urolithiasis in cats in Yangon.
