Abstract

Diseases of the urogenital system can lead to problems with fluid balance, metabolic derangements, pain/discomfort, infection, dysuria, incontinence (with the potential for urine scalding) and inhibition of voiding behaviours. Appetite may be affected and specific nutritional therapies may be appropriate. Chronic kidney disease in a cat; Chronic pyelonephritis in a dog; Protein-losing nephropathy in a dog; Bladder transition cell carcinoma in a dog; Urethral sphincter mechanism incompetence in a dog; ‘Idiopathic’ cystitis in a cat; Acute urinary obstruction in a cat; Urolithias in a dog; Prostatitis in a dog.

Image of A Dobermann before (top) and after a weight management programme. Starting bodyweight was 50 kg and she lost 4.5 kg (19%) slowly but steadily over 468 days. Her body fat content decreased in that time from 46% to 32%, so all weight lost was adipose tissue. (Courtesy of The Royal Canin Weight Management Clinic, University of Liverpool)
