Plain-English summary
A 2-year-old male Himalayan cat named Molly was brought to the vet with vomiting and difficulty urinating, along with blood in his urine. After tests, it was found that he had cystitis, which is inflammation of the bladder, likely caused by struvite crystals. The vet treated him with a catheter to flush his bladder, along with fluids, pain relief, anti-nausea medication, and antibiotics. After a week of treatment, Molly's condition improved significantly, and he no longer had blood in his urine.
