Male Cat Urinary Crystals

Urinary Crystals in Male Cats

Male cats are more prone to urinary crystals due to a narrower urethra and more concentrated urine.

Types and Symptoms

* Struvite crystals: Common, form in alkaline urine.
* Calcium oxalate crystals: Less common, form in acidic urine.
* Symptoms: Straining, blood in urine, lethargy.

Prevention

Dietary changes, increased water intake, and stress management can help. Consult a veterinarian immediately if symptoms appear.
