Perineal Urethrostomy (PU) Surgery for Cats at Express Vets Plus
Urinary blockages in cats can be life-threatening, causing severe pain and preventing normal urination. At Express Vets Plus in Woodstock, GA, we offer perineal urethrostomy (PU) surgery to create a permanent opening in the urethra, reducing the risk of future obstructions and improving your cat’s quality of life.
Male cats are especially prone to urinary obstructions due to their narrow urethras. If a blockage occurs, it can lead to straining, vocalizing in pain, frequent trips to the litter box, and even kidney damage. PU surgery is often recommended for cats who experience recurrent urinary blockages that do not respond to medical treatment.
The procedure involves removing the narrowest portion of the urethra and creating a wider opening to allow urine to pass more easily. Our veterinary team takes every precaution to ensure a safe surgery and a smooth recovery. Post-operative care includes pain management, antibiotics, and guidance on dietary changes to prevent future complications.
If your cat is struggling with recurrent urinary blockages, PU surgery may be the best solution. Contact Express Vets Plus at (470) 308-3245 to schedule a consultation and provide your cat with long-term relief.
