Perineal Urethrostomy Surgery for Cats at Green Tree Animal Hospital
Perineal urethrostomy (PU) is a surgical procedure often recommended for male cats who suffer from recurrent urinary blockages, a condition that can be life-threatening if left untreated. At Green Tree Animal Hospital in Lexington, KY, we specialize in performing this procedure with the utmost care to improve your cat’s urinary health and quality of life.
Male cats are particularly prone to urinary tract issues, such as bladder stones or urethral obstructions, which can cause painful and dangerous blockages. Perineal urethrostomy involves creating a new opening in the urethra to bypass the blocked area, allowing urine to flow freely and reducing the risk of future obstructions.
Our skilled veterinarians utilize the latest techniques and technology to perform PU surgery safely and effectively. We carefully evaluate each cat’s condition to determine if PU surgery is the best option. The procedure is performed under anesthesia, and we closely monitor your cat throughout the process to ensure their safety.
After surgery, our team will provide you with detailed post-operative care instructions to help your cat recover smoothly. While the recovery time can vary, most cats recover well and experience fewer urinary issues in the future. If you’re concerned about your cat’s urinary health, contact us today at (859) 223-2221 to schedule a consultation.
