Bladder Stones in
Cats
Elmhurst Animal Care Center
Introduction
• Located in the western suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, Elmhurst
Animal Care Center provides preventive veterinary services as
well as diagnosis and treatment for a variety of conditions. As part
of its suite of surgical services, Elmhurst Animal Care Center
offers procedures to eliminate bladder stones.
Bladder stones are hard deposits of minerals, crystals, and organic
matter. Veterinarians believe they develop when crystalline
compounds, which have the capacity to grow into stones, are
present at higher concentrations in the cat's urine. When the
these compounds exceed a certain level, the urine reaches a
saturation point, and any additional compounds can form bladder
stones.
These stones can grow to a diameter of several millimeters and
can irritate the lining of the bladder or urethra, cause muscle
spasms in the urinary tract, or block the flow of urine.
Bladder Stones
• This presents in cats as urinary symptoms such as
pain with urination or straining to urinate. Cats
with bladder stones may also develop chronic
urinary tract infections or obstruction, the latter
of which is most common in male cats.
A cat with bladder stones must undergo prompt
treatment to avoid a urinary blockage, which can
be life-threatening. Some bladder stone issues can
be taken care of through a prescription diet and
increased consumption of water, while in other
situations shockwaves may be effective in
sufficiently breaking down the stones. However,
certain cases may necessitate surgical removal.
