Plain-English summary
A 16-year-old spayed female domestic shorthair cat was brought in for urinary incontinence, which means she was leaking urine without control. After some tests, the vet found that her bladder had slipped through a weak spot in her abdominal wall. The good news is that after surgery to fix the hernia and put the bladder back in place, her symptoms completely went away.
