Symptoms of Bladder Stones/Uroliths in Cats

Bladder Stones which are actually a collection of various minerals and organic matter are a common problem of cats especially males. This accumulation of minerals and organic matter usually occurs because of any Urinary Tract Infection or Inflammation. Urinary Bladder Stones, also known as Bladder Uroliths are of various types and some of them keep growing in size until reaching the size of many millimeters. These stones not only cause pain and inflammation of the bladder but also offer an obstruction or complete blockage of urine in cats.
