About this event
Join Dr Karien Brink from RCL Foods and Prof. Danièlle Gunn-Moore for the second of a two-part webinar on 5 October 2021.
This webinar will discuss the treatment of non-obstructive Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease, and the home-care needed for cats once they go home after having their urethral obstruction relived. The management of all causes of FLUTD will be discussed, including bacterial urinary tract infections, bladder stones, neoplasia (e.g. urothelial carcinoma, previously called transitional cell carcinoma), malakoplakia, etc., but most time will be spend discussing the potential ways to manage Feline Idiopathic Cystitis (aka Stress Cystitis) as this makes up >75% of FLUTD cases.
