Lower urinary tract disease includes bladder stones, crystals and uraliths that cause urethral blockage, or infection. Cats with this disease strain to urinate and often only produce a few drops, sometimes with blood present.
The cat also spends a great deal of time licking his genitals and it becomes extremely lethargic. Some of the common problems associated with urinary tract include:
1. Bladder Stones, also known as Uroliths, which take the form of crystals of struvite or calcium oxalate. They are caused by bacterial, fungal, or viral infection present along with uroliths.
2. Urethral Obstruction, more common in male cats because their urethra is longer and narrower than that of females. The treatment for obstruction often consists of catherization, fluid therapy like  methigel urinary acidifier ,antibiotics, and in rare cases, surgery. To maintain good health in cats, you ought to be observant and offer a good diet to your cat. Therefore whenever you observe your cat having pain or difficulty in urinating, consult your veterinarian. Likewise you can administer the appropriate medication.
