Outside the Box 5: Urinary Obstruction Emergency in Cats
Monday, 9 November, 2026
A cat repeatedly straining in the litter box may look constipated, but they could be experiencing a life-threatening urinary obstruction. In Episode 5 of Outside the Box, internal medicine specialist, Dr. Amy Oberstadt, explains how a urinary blockage develops, the early warning signs owners shouldn't ignore, and why male cats are at especially high risk. She walks listeners through what happens at the emergency hospital, from triage and bloodwork to urinary catheterization and hospitalization, and discusses what happens after a cat recovers. Sampson, a cat who survived three separate obstructions before undergoing surgery, shows both how serious this emergency can be and why attentive owners and ongoing management can make such a difference.
