Understanding Cat Urinary Blockage (FLUTD)
Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD), specifically urinary obstruction or “blockage,” is one of the most critical emergencies we see at Hong Kong Lai Au Animal Medical Center (LAMCVET). This condition occurs when a cat’s urethra—the tube carrying urine from the bladder to the outside—becomes blocked by crystals, stones, or a mucus plug. This is most common in male cats due to their narrower urethra.
When a cat cannot urinate, toxins build up in the bloodstream, leading to kidney failure and potentially death within 24 to 48 hours if left untreated. Finding a reliable cat urinary blockage vet in Hong Kong immediately is crucial for your pet’s survival.

Treatment Process at LAMCVET
When you arrive at our clinic with a blocked cat, our priority is to stabilize the patient and relieve the obstruction.
- Stabilization: We administer pain relief and IV fluids to treat shock and dehydration.
- Unblocking: Under sedation, a urinary catheter is carefully passed to remove the blockage and drain the bladder.
- Hospitalization: The catheter usually remains in place for 2-3 days to allow the inflammation to subside and flush out crystals.
- Surgery (Perineal Urethrostomy): For cats with recurrent blockages, our experienced surgeons can perform a Perineal Urethrostomy (PU surgery) to widen the urethral opening, significantly reducing the risk of future obstructions.
