  2. Bladder stone (animal) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bladder_stone_(animal)

    Dogs with portosystemic shunts or endstage liver disease also have increased uric acid excretion in the urine due to reduced conversion of uric acid to allantoin and ammonia to urea. Urate stones make up about six percent of all stones in the cat. [14] Urate stones can be dissolved using a diet with reduced purines that alkalinizes and dilutes ...

  3. Feline lower urinary tract disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feline_lower_urinary_tract...

    Urine pH is also naturally made more acidic by increasing the meat/fish-based protein percentage in food. Cats with chronic feline lower urinary tract disease caused by struvite uroliths are sometimes treated with a lifelong diet of prescription wet food as these special diets acidify urine which dissolve struvite. However ordinary wet food ...

  4. Feline idiopathic cystitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feline_idiopathic_cystitis

    The symptoms of bacterial infection in the lower urinary tract are very similar to those for non-obstructive FIC (i.e. straining, blood in urine etc.) and a urine test with cultures will be needed to detect if an infection is present. Treatment is usually effective with antibiotics once the result of the urine culture identifies the precise ...

  5. Allantoin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allantoin

    Allantoin is a chemical compound with formula C 4 H 6 N 4 O 3.It is also called 5-ureidohydantoin or glyoxyldiureide. [1] [2] It is a diureide of glyoxylic acid.Allantoin is a major metabolic intermediate in most organisms including animals, plants and bacteria, though not humans.

  6. Urinalysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urinalysis

    Various compounds in the urine can precipitate to form crystals. Crystals can be identified based on their appearance and the pH of the urine (many types preferentially form at an acidic or alkaline pH). [123] Crystals that can be found in normal urine include uric acid, monosodium urate, triple phosphate (ammonium magnesium phosphate), calcium ...

  7. Felinine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felinine

    Also, long hair cats have less cysteine to go around as the amino acid is also used for protein structures found in hair. Thus, long-haired cats make less felinine than short-haired cats. [12] The urea in cat urine has been found to react with the felinine in the urine.

  8. Uric acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uric_acid

    A 2011 survey in the United States indicated that 3.9% of the population had gout, whereas 21.4% had hyperuricemia without having symptoms. [43] Excess blood uric acid (serum urate) can induce gout, [44] a painful condition resulting from needle-like crystals of uric acid termed monosodium urate crystals [45] precipitating in joints ...

  9. Cauxin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauxin

    Cauxin has been shown to hydrolyze 3-methylbutanol-cysteinylglycine (3-MBCG) in the urine into felinine which then slowly degrades into the putative, sulfur-containing cat pheromone 3-mercapto-3-methylbutan-1-ol (MMB). [1] This pheromone is used to mark territory with urine. [1] Neutered male cats have less cauxin in their urine than do intact ...
