Is fat in my cat's urine a concern with GI and urination issues?

Fat droplets in the urine are a rare occurrence, it can be found rarely in obese cats with urinary tract problems. the bowel movement problems are not likely to have any relation with the fat in the urine though.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Lio. I become worried about urination when the patient has an increased thirst. Other worrisome signs are weight loss, vomiting and changes in activity level. Urinary tract infections are rare in male cats, but will typically result in smaller than normal urine spots in the box. Straining or crying in the box are other reasons to see a veterinarian. If he cannot produce any urine at all, that would be a true emergency. It sounds like he does not have any of these symptoms. I suspect that he is getting the majority of his fluid from his diet. I hope this information helps!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Watson. The ultrasound should be able to give you valuable information as will the pancreatic test. He could have inflammatory bowel disease or even intestinal cancer. Another test I perform in cases of chronic gastrointestinal disease is testing cobalamin, folate and TLI levels. This tests for pancreatic exocrine insufficiency as well as vitamin deficiencies. I hope you get some answers soon!

You do nothave to worry about cinstipation with bloody diarrhea. She may have an infection or inflammatory bowel that is causes part of these symptoms. Since there is blood in the stool she needs to be checked to see what medicine can be given. You can try to switch to a sensitive stomach formula food and add a feline probiotic to help replenish normal bacteria until you can get seen

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Urinating in her bed could be behavioral, or could be medical. An increase in Amylase and Lipase can imply that the pancreas is inflamed, and your vet recommending a low-fat diet and recheck in 2 weeks is the right recommendation. As long as Lada is still eating, and isn't painful, then a simple pancreatitis will resolve with a low-fat diet alone. No antibiotics are required and are NOT recommended, and pain medications are only given if required. I would continue with this recommendation, and deal with this possible pancreatitis first, and if Lada is still wetting the bed (as she might be doing this related to the pancreatitis, so best to clear this up first), then you can discuss medications to help tone the urethral sphincter. But I do recommend treating the pancreatitis first. Best of luck with Lada! I hope she feels better soon.

Even though Annie's SDMA is at the upper end of normal, I don't see evidence of early kidney disease due to her normal BUN and creatinine values. A urinalysis will help to determine how well her kidneys are functioning to concentrate urine. It looks as though she has a few extra red blood cells (mildly increased hematocrit) and is making some extra red blood cells (slightly increased reticulocyte count), as well as a mild drop in her neutrophils (a type of white blood cell). All of these fluctuations could be associated with a relatively recent mild infection or illness that she's since recovered from. If she's clinically doing well, I wouldn't otherwise think too much of these values. I see that she also has a bit of hyperkalemia (high potassium), which is increasing her Na/K (sodium to potassium ratio). While hyperkalemia can occur with kidney disease, I would also expect to see at least moderate increases in BUN and creatinine at the same time. Other issues, like stomach upset, parasites, or certain medications can also increase the potassium values. I would still check a urinalysis to help get a complete picture. If your vet also recommends doing so, repeating this bloodwork in another month or two is a reasonable idea to track any changes. I hope that everything goes well!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Ginger! The urine shouldn't be thick or gooey. I would have her seen by your Vet and bring a urine sample. I would want to check to see if she has a urinary tract infection, crystals in her urine or a bladder stone. I wouldn't ignore the urine. I wish Ginger the best!
