Description

Feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD) and urinary obstructions (UO) are common medical reasons for cats to visit the veterinarian. FLUTD can be chronic and frustrating for cat owners. Urinary obstructions can be life threatening if the obstruction is not removed. In this week's episode, emergency veterinarian Dr. Christine Klippin talks about what to watch for at home and how your veterinarian can help your pet.
