Raysha hadir ke klinik kerana bahagian abdomen membesar, tidak boleh membuang air dan kurang selera makan. Setelah melakukan x-ray, bahagian pundi kencing Raysha memenuhi hampir keseluruhan rongga abdomen. Cystocentesis dilakukan segera dan sebanyak 400mL air kencing berjaya dikeluarkan daripada pundi kencing.

Cystocentesis for Acute Urinary Retention 🐱
▶️ Raysha, a 5-year-old cat, presented with a complaint of abdominal enlargement over the past few days, inability to defecate, and decreased appetite.
▶️ On physical examination, abdominal palpation revealed slightly hardened f***s. The bladder was not palpable, and there appeared to be a large, firm, round mass occupying almost the entire abdominal cavity.
▶️ Raysha had a history of being hit by a vehicle 4 years ago, which reportedly caused a pelvic fracture. Since then, she has walked with an unsteady gait. About a year ago, she also experienced constipation.
▶️ Radiographic (X-ray) examination confirmed bladder distension and constipation. The bladder was significantly enlarged, occupying most of the abdominal cavity.
▶️ Based on the clinical signs and diagnostic findings, Raysha was diagnosed with acute urinary retention (inability to empty the bladder normally), suspected to be due to a chronic lower motor neuron problem related to her previous accident.
▶️ This condition is considered an emergency. Cystocentesis and manual evacuation were performed. If left untreated, it could lead to uremia or even bladder rupture. During cystocentesis, approximately 400 mL of urine was drained.
▶️ The day after the procedures, Raysha began eating on her own. Supportive treatment was continued at home, and her diet was changed to a gastrointestinal fiber response formula. Acupuncture was also recommended, along with regular monitoring, as this condition may recur.
Keadaan ini dianggap kecemasan kerana jika tidak dirawat, ia boleh menyebabkan uremia atau pecahnya pundi kencing. Jika pawrents nampak kucing tidak membuang dengan lama, bawa mereka ke klinik dengan segera! 🐱
