What you should pay attention to, worry and immediately take your pet to the doctor, these are the following symptoms of cystitis in cats:

Frequent "runs" purrs to the tray;

Pain in the bowel movement, which you can determine by the cries of the animal from the toilet;

Blood in the urine;

Often, a pet does not have time to run to his tray. Small puddles appear around the house;

Isolation of pus (in especially advanced cases).

A fair question arises: "How can a pet catch such a terrible ailment?" The most common cause is an infection in the urinary system, as well as hypothermia, followed by a decrease in immunity.

The disease is of two types:

Acute (a sharp deterioration in the state of caudate, a strong manifestation of pain, urge);

Chronic. This type occurs with either complete absence of treatment, or under-treatment. The disease begins to appear periodically with persistent unpleasant symptoms.
