Description
Obesity is a highly prevalent disease in both cats and dogs, with serious consequences for their overall health, including an increased risk of urinary system disorders. This session will explore the link between obesity and urinary diseases in companion animals, such as feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD) and feline idiopathic cystitis (FIC), and how excess body weight exacerbates these risks, especially in pets with reduced mobility. The session will also discuss the importance of strategies for preventing obesity, early detection of both urinary diseases and obesity, and dietary management for pets dealing with both conditions. By understanding how to effectively manage obesity and obesity-related urinary issues, we can enhance the overall health and quality of life of our patients.
