Perineal Urethrostomy Surgery for a

Here's Dr. Ashna discussing blocked cats, Snow's surgery, and a wonderful recovery after multiple critical emergencies! (Viewer discretion advised as some clips were filmed during surgery). When Snow first came to us with a urethral obstruction - commonly referred to as a "blocked cat"- he was in terrible pain. After stabilising him, we recommended a perineal urethrostomy (PU) surgery, but understandably, his family were hesitant to go straight to surgery after a first episode, and chose to wait instead. Unfortunately, this is something we see often as emergency vets. Over 90% of cats who block once will typically re-block, usually within a month. Snow blocked two more times, and after the third incident, we performed a PU to reduce his risk of recurrence and improve his long-term quality of life. We’re happy to report that Snow is doing very well post-surgery 😊 📣 Cat parents, stress can be a major trigger for urinary obstructions in our little ones. Stressors can range from travel to visitors at home, family members leaving for extended periods, moving houses, or even subtle changes to routine. Emotional wellbeing is an essential part of our pets' health, which is why we always encourage cat parents to consider environmental stressors alongside medical care. Patients hospitalised after a urethral blockage need very close monitoring for post-obstructive diuresis, a condition characterised by excessive urination that occurs after a blockage is relieved. This can lead to dehydration and severe electrolyte imbalances, which is why hospitalisation and cooperation from owners during this time are vital. If left untreated, blockage can result in death. If your cat has ever blocked, please don’t wait for it to happen again. Talk to your vet about long-term prevention strategies -- including PU surgery and stress management -- to help protect their health, comfort, and long-term quality of life.
