A PU surgery is sometimes necessary in the emergency case of male cat blockages. It creates a new, wider opening for urination in male cats who suffer from repeated urinary blockages.

This is most often performed in cats with severe or recurrent urethral obstructions that cannot be managed with medication or diet alone.

By shortening the urethra and bypassing the narrow section that commonly blocks, the risk of future obstruction is greatly reduced.

Anal glands are small scent glands located near the anus, and while most pets empty them naturally, some develop repeated infections, impaction, or abscesses. Chronic issues can cause ongoing discomfort, scarring, and even lead to tumours.

Surgical removal eliminates the diseased glands entirely, though it requires careful dissection to avoid affecting nearby nerves and muscles.
