Frequent Urination with Small Amounts

I have noticed that one of my female cats (2 yrs old) goes to the litter box frequently and leaves a small amount each time (approx. 1/2 teaspoon). She acts normal and healthly otherwise. Do you think this is a problem? Thanks

I would definitely take her to the vet...this type of behavior could be a sign of a UTI or urinary crystals (or both). Better safe than sorry!

Bladder worms are another option...ecspecially if that is the only symptom..(Heightened urination)......

I would be more willing to bet a UTI or crystal blockage type situation...but I figured I would give you another option to look into.....

Either way you are going to want to go to the vet

It could be an infection or it could be interstitial cystitis. Cystitis (bladder inflamation) is apparently more common than bladder infections in cats.

Be it a urinary tract infection, instersitial cystitis or crystals, all three require medical attention, meds and two of the 3 require diet change to treat, as well. Time to visit the vet and have a urinalysis (with culture and sensitivity if indicated) done!

Please go soon///

Hi - Per eveyone's reply, I took my cat to the vet, and she was given antibiotics for an infection. He was able to extract some urine, which had blood in it. I told the vet what I was feeding her, and he did not recommend a diet change now. He said that I need to watch her, following her antibiiotic treatment, and if this happens again, I will have to change her diet.

Thanks for all of your replys. They prompted me to get her to the vet ASAP.

Good for you, and yup..the one of the 3 possilibilties that I listed that wouldn't necessarily need a diet change was the bladder infection.

Hope she's feeling better soon!
