Diet-related feline lower urinary tract disease in a mixed-breed angora cat: a case report | Diet-related feline lower urinary tract disease in a mixed-breed angora cat: a case report

English. Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD) encompasses bladder and urethral disorders in cats and is influenced by factors such as diet, care, litter hygiene, and activity levels. An eight-year-old mixed-Angora queen weighing 4.1 kg presented with haematuria at the Udayana University Veterinary Teaching Hospital. Despite being active and displaying typical vital signs, the cat experienced abdominal discomfort on palpation. Diagnostic evaluations including macroscopic and microscopic urine analyses revealed haematuria, proteinuria, and struvite crystals. Radiographic and ultrasonographic examinations identified radiopaque material and uroliths in the bladder, with concurrent bladder wall thickening, although the blood parameters were normal. The cat was diagnosed with FLUTD due to urolithiasis and cystitis, and underwent dietary management, increased water intake, and daily CYSTAID Plus® supplementation. In this case, the prognosis remained positive (fausta). After 14 days, a significant improvement was noted in the absence of haematuria, and the urine appeared bright yellow without turbidity.

Seekor kucing betina campuran Angora berusia delapan tahun dengan berat 4,1 kg datang dengan hematuria di Rumah Sakit Pendidikan Hewan Universitas Udayana. Meskipun aktif dan menunjukkan tanda-tanda vital yang khas, kucing tersebut mengalami ketidaknyamanan perut saat dipalpasi.

Pemeriksaan radiografi dan ultrasonografi mengidentifikasi material radiopak dan urolith di kandung kemih, dengan penebalan dinding kandung kemih secara bersamaan, meskipun parameter darah normal. Kucing tersebut didiagnosis dengan FLUTD karena urolithiasis dan sistitis, dan menjalani manajemen pola makan, peningkatan asupan air, dan suplementasi CYSTAID Plus® setiap hari. Dalam kasus ini, prognosisnya tetap positif (fausta). Setelah 14 hari, terlihat adanya perbaikan signifikan berupa tidak adanya hematuria, dan urin berwarna kuning cerah tanpa kekeruhan.
