Welcome to Vet Near Me Greenville, where our experienced veterinary team provides advanced surgical care for cats, including perineal urethrostomy, with compassion and clarity.
Perineal urethrostomy (PU) is a specialized surgical procedure designed to address life-threatening urinary blockages in male cats. These blockages, often caused by crystals, stones, or scar tissue, can make it impossible for a cat to urinate. Without prompt treatment, this can quickly become a medical emergency.
During a perineal urethrostomy, our veterinarians create a new urinary opening to bypass the narrow, blockage-prone section of the urethra. This helps prevent future obstructions, reduces pain, and protects your cat’s kidney and bladder health. The procedure is most often recommended for cats who experience multiple blockages despite dietary and medical management.
Our team at Vet Near Me Greenville is committed to providing transparent, supportive care throughout your cat’s surgical journey.
Before surgery, our veterinarians perform a full physical exam and diagnostic testing, including bloodwork and urinalysis, to ensure your cat is stable for anesthesia. We will review your cat’s medical history and answer all your questions.
On the day of surgery, your cat receives gentle anesthesia and constant monitoring. Our experienced surgical team, including Dr. Simpson and Dr. Rogers, utilizes precise techniques to create a new urinary opening, minimizing discomfort and reducing the risk of complications.
Pain control is a top priority. We administer targeted pain relief before, during, and after surgery. Postoperative care includes close monitoring, bladder support, and detailed aftercare instructions.
Our veterinary team provides clear written care plans and direct follow-up after your cat’s surgery. We offer same-day answers to your concerns, walk-in support during recovery, and ongoing guidance to help your cat adjust to life after PU surgery.
Urinary blockages in male cats can be life-threatening and incredibly stressful for both pets and their families. Perineal urethrostomy provides a long-term solution when other treatments are no longer effective.
Perineal urethrostomy removes the most blockage-prone part of the urethra, drastically reducing the risk of future urinary obstructions and medical emergencies.
After surgery, most cats experience fewer urinary issues, less pain, and greater comfort, allowing them to return to their normal routines without constant worry.
Prompt intervention and surgery help prevent kidney damage, bladder rupture, and other severe complications associated with repeated blockages and urinary retention.
