Cat Urethral Hemorrhage: Can It Heal on Its Own? Treatm

Part 1: Can Cat Hematuria Heal on Its Own?

Whether a cat's hematuria can heal on its own largely depends on the specific situation. Female cats may experience bleeding during estrus, which can mix with urine, leading to the appearance of blood in the urine. In adult male cats, postpubescent, there might be traumatic bleeding due to behaviors like holding onto human legs or scratching everywhere, which can also cause bleeding. Additionally, bacterial infections in the reproductive organs, as well as kidney diseases such as urethral stones, bladder stones, urinary tract infections, kidney stones, cystitis, nephritis, tumors, and thrombocytopenia, can all result in hematuria. If any of these conditions are present, it's advisable to seek veterinary care promptly to determine if an infection is the cause.

Part 2: Can Hemostatic Medication Treat Hematuria?

Hemostatic medications can only provide temporary relief for hematuria, addressing the symptoms rather than the root cause. Their effect is related to capillaries. It's also important to consider if the hematuria is due to the use of sulfonamide drugs or urinary obstruction. You can check if the cat's bladder has swollen, and it's best to have liver and kidney function tests done. Chronic hematuria can lead to kidney failure or even be lifethreatening.

Part 3: Treatment Methods for Cat Hematuria

Firstly, use antibiotics and antiinflammatory drugs, such as ampicillin, ceftriaxone, amoxicillin, and ofloxacin, to treat the cat's inflammation. After observing for 12 days, if the symptoms have not improved, it's recommended to visit a veterinarian for further examination and treatment. In everyday life, if hematuria occurs repeatedly, it's advisable to take some vitamins and antibiotics to prevent or reduce the occurrence of diseases.
