One of my male cats has blood in his urine. He is absolutely fine in himself, no signs of being ill - but is at the vets today being looked at.

Has anyone got any experiences of this? He is 5 years old and nuetered.
 
Not in a cat, but this happened to Beastiedog. Turned out to be a burst blood vessel. They gave anti bios just to stop any infection (and up the vet fee

Cynical? Moi?)

So fingers crossed that's all it is with your boy.
 
Could be simple urine infection, or the start of urinary tract problems i.e blocked bladder, very common in neutered males, fed on a dry diet.....either way u need to get him checked asap.....has he been licking at himself, his penis, or cleaning down there alot?
 
No - haven't noticed anything unusual with him at all. And to be honest, it was a pure fluke that I even saw the blood in his urine. Bloody animal was spraying the curtains at the time - with bright red urine!

He's under sedation as we speak have a cathater inserted.

So vibes for my little Toby Mcquire (funny name I know). I'm sure he'll be fine.....
 
Just found this....have a read

It could be a simple case of urine infection, or could be due to diet, one of my cats used to have frequent passing of blood, I began to feed a wet diet and it stopped, my sister cat recently began to urinate blood and he had a blocked bladder, so had to have a catheter inserted, and he is now on a dry diet, but one specially formed to reduce the formation of crystals, that cause the blockage.

We see this very often at work, it's a very common condition, has alot to do with diet.
 
VIBES.............im sure he will be fine, there is a very good sucess rate, they will advise a special diet for after care, or life to help prevent a re-occurance.
 
We had a male neutered rescued ex-summer cat years ago, who used to develop "stones" in his bladder maybe once a year (it was before all these specialized diets for different problems/diseases came), and usually we noticed when it had happened again by him not wanting to pee or pee mixed with blood.

{{{Vibes}}} for Toby Mcquire the cat, from Sweden.

Hope Tobey Macguire is fighting fit again soon.
 
Thanks Cala, will have a read.

He's fed wet and always has dry available - and am thinking that you are right, it must be to do with diet.

**Sigh** Having lost FiFi in the summer who was an uber expensive diet, I've been ejoying saving the pennies............

Hey ho.

Thanks all.

Unfortunately, I have alot of experience of this sort of problem.
If the cat is not in the habbit of spraying indoors, this is sometimes an indication of illness.
My boy had crystals in his urine which caused him to pass bloody urine. He also had cystitis.
Simple diet change has left him symptom free for many many years. The vet will advise.
Good luck and healing vibes to the poor boy.
