FLUTD and FUS are describing the same set of symptoms. They used to call it FUS, but have changed the name over the years to try to better describe the syndrome. I have included a handout below with more information. https://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&C=&A=611&SourceID= I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using PetCoach.
