What is feline urologic syndrome

Angel Alvarado, LVT · Accepted Answer

Feline Urologic Syndrome (FUS) is now called Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD) or Feline Idiopathic Cystitis (FIC). It is a condition involving, as the name states, the lower urinary tract (bladder, urethra). The condition presents with inflammation, difficulty urinating or crystals in urine. A major cause is thought to be stress. You can read more about the condition here: http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?c=1+2134&aid=214
