Feline lower urinarytract disease (FLUTD) is a life-threatening condition in cats, especially in obstructive males. In a clinical situation, early diagnosis and correction of this condition is very important, otherwise the disease ends in death. FLUTD manifested by stranguria, pollakiuria, dysuria, and, in severe cases, hematuria and obstruction by anuria. This article discusses the features of the clinical course of FLUTD in 5 cats with obstructive idiopathic cystitis. Animals were selected with a similar history, they were animals from 3 to 7 years old, with exclusively home keeping, no walking and a diet consisting of dry commercial food. All animals underwent a complete clinical examination, complete blood count, general urinalysis, ultrasound of the genitourinary system and heart. For two weeks, the animals underwent a complex treatment consisting of infusion therapy, anesthesia with dexmedetomidine and NSAIDs (meloxicam), which led to clinical recovery in all animals within 14 days, all animals on an ongoing basis were prescribed amitriptyline, observation of the animals for 6 months did not reveal a relapse of the disease.
