The penis of a male cat is covered with a layer of foreskin, and the penis will only extend out of the foreskin when urinating or mating. Phimosis, that is, the length of the foreskin, is a disease in which the foreskin mouth is narrowed due to infection or congenital causes and the penis cannot extend out of the foreskin.
Although the behavioral status of some cats with phimosis is similar to that of lower urinary tract problems, the two are still very important differences. To diagnose phimosis, you only need to squeeze the male cat's penis, if you can't squeeze the penis out of its penis. Then it can be concluded that it is phimosis. The treatment of phimosis varies according to the cause. The principles of inflammatory phimosis treatment are antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, swelling, and improving the body's resistance. While taking orally or injecting broad-spectrum antibiotics, you can use Kelu's mouth spray on the penis. In addition, trim the hair around the penis to prevent secondary bacterial infection caused by moisture in the surrounding hair.
For phimosis cases where scar tissue has formed, foreskin and scar tissue removal surgery can be used for treatment. The specific treatment plan can be discussed with the doctor. It should be emphasized here that male cats with congenital phimosis should not be allowed to join the breeding program even if the treatment prognosis is good.
