Abstract：This study aims to explore the diagnostic and therapeutic methods for feline urinary retention.As a common manifestation of Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease(FLUTD),feline urinary retention can lead to systemic infection or even death in severe cases.In this case,feline urinary retention was initially suspected through inspection,inquiry,and palpation;further confirmed by imaging examinations including DR and abdominal color Doppler ultrasound;and finally diagnosed based on the results of blood routine,biochemical indicators,and coagulation function tests.After 3 days of conservative treatment,the cat's symptoms showed no significant improvement,so perineal urethrostomy was performed.The cat achieved good postoperative recovery and a favorable prognosis.This case indicates that for urinary retention cases unresponsive to conservative treatment,perineal urethrostomy can effectively improve the quality of life of affected cats,providing valuable reference for clinical practice.
