Conditions we treat
Routine urinary surgery is done by our general vets. Our specialist cares for more complex cases, including:
- Bladder stones: removal by cystotomy, or by keyhole surgery
- Urethrostomy: creating a new urinary opening, for example for cats with repeated blockages
- Ureteric obstruction: including a subcutaneous ureteral bypass (SUB)
- Ectopic ureters: a congenital problem that can cause incontinence
- Vulvoplasty
Our specialist uses advanced imaging, such as ultrasound and contrast X-rays, to plan surgery and reduce the risk of complications.
Signs your pet may need help
See a vet straight away if your pet is straining to pass urine or can’t pass any, especially male cats. This can be life-threatening. Other signs include blood in the urine, accidents in the house or leaking urine. [Vet to confirm signs]
