Abstract
Inappropriate urination, dysuria (difficult or painful urination) and pollakiuria (abnormally frequent urination) are distressing problems for owners. This chapter deals with clinical approach, inappropriate urination, differential diagnoses for dysuria and pollakiuria, empirical treatment, when to refer and if finances are limited. Quick reference guide: Radiographic contrast studies of the lower urinary tract.

Positive retrograde urethrogram. There is a narrowing at the level of the pelvic obturator foramen (arrowed). This could be normal (urethral contraction) or abnormal. The contrast study needs to be repeated and a repeat radiograph taken to decide whether this is a consistent (and therefore abnormal) finding. (Courtesy of North Downs Specialist Referrals)

This 3-year-old neutered male DSH cat was involved in a road traffic accident. The retrograde urethrogram confirmed a ruptured urethra causing a uroabdomen, as shown by the leakage of contrast agent within the caudal abdomen and pelvic cavity. A prepubic urethrostomy was performed as a salvage procedure. (Courtesy of North Downs Specialist Referrals)
