  Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could certainly be a UTI. Other possibilities include urinary tract stones, feline lower urinary tract disease, among other possibilities. I recommend that you have Simba evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and possible treatment. Further diagnostics include a urinalysis, urine culture and some form of abdominal imaging such as abdominal ultrasound. Treatment would be based on findings. Good luck and have a good night!

  Hi there! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! There are a few things that can cause this type of symptoms in cats. Generally, in a female cat, other things to rule out are urinary tract stones and even tumors. The next diagnostic step would be an abdominal ultrasound. If unable to proceed with this. At the very least, abdominal radiographs (if ultrasound is not available) could help rule out most of the types of stones. I recommend that you let your veterinarian know that she has not improved so that further diagnostics and treatments can be pursued. If no cause is found and is truly suspected to be feline lower urinary tract disease, your veterinarian may add a medication called Prazosin which can help pass urine. If you ever notice that she is not able to pass urine at all, have her evaluated right away. Good luck and have a good evening!

  Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The urinary tract symptoms you describe could be due to a urinary tract infection, urinary stones, a tumor, among other possibilities. I recommend that you have Sebrina evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Further diagnostics would include abdominal imaging and lab work. Treatment would be based on findings. If she does not appear to be producing any urine at some point, that should be treated as an emergency. Good luck and have a great day!
