What's wrong with male cats' urine red? This is a question that everyone often asks me recently. In fact, male cats have red urine, mostly due to urinary system diseases such as cystitis, urethritis, urinary tract stones, etc. They generally have symptoms such as difficulty urination, poor urination, frequent urination posture, and turbid urine. It is recommended to seek medical treatment in time. Secondly, it may be that the cat accidentally ate chocolate, grapes, onions and other foods and was poisoned, causing hemolysis in the body, so hematuria. In addition, cats will crawl in estrus, causing genital damage and bleeding, so they will carry blood when peeing.

1. Urinary system diseases

If male cats have red urine, they should consider whether there are urinary system diseases, such as cystitis, urethritis, urinary tract stones, etc. Cats may frequently squat in the toilet, but the amount of urine is very small and bloody. If you find this situation in the cat, you need to take the cat to the pet hospital for examination and treatment in time. According to the cat's condition, biochemical, B-ultrasound, DR examination, catheterization, and infusion treatment may be required.

2. Food poisoning

If a cat accidentally eats some spicy and irritating things, such as chocolate, grapes, onions, etc., it will cause the cat to be poisoned and hematuria. If the owner finds that the cat has eaten these foods and has hematuria or other adverse conditions, such as diarrhea, foaming spitting, convulsions, etc., he should be taken to the pet hospital for gastric lavage and other treatment as soon as possible to ensure the cat's life safety.

3. When estrus, male cats will experience symptoms such as anxiety, howling in the middle of the night, urinating randomly, and crawling. At this time, crawling through some items with relatively high friction will cause genital damage and bleeding, and will bring blood when peeing. If this is the case, the owner should not worry too much. After the male cat is in estrus, he can undergo sterilization surgery. In addition, after sterilization surgery, the owner needs to regularly give the male cat medicine to prevent wound infection and inflammation.
