Does FLUTD cause incontinence and diarrhea in cats?

[@vetnpetDIRECT]

Hi, Thank you for the question. FLUTD can cause urinary incontinence especially in that they are often straining or just urinating very small amounts, sometimes not in their litter box. It doesn't tend to cause faecal incontinence or diarrhoea directly. Sometimes cats will strain to urinate and then poop by default. And stress of any kind could cause diarrhoea, so FLUTD and urinary issues can cause a great deal of stress and discomfort for the cat. If your cat is having incontinence issues or diarrhoea please consult your veterinarian as soon as possible for a diagnosis.
