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. Case examples: 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.
