ECC Tips and Tricks: Approach to Urethral Obstruction

Small-animal emergencies can be unpredictable, but preparation can help us to keep calm during a crisis! Swift Referrals' ECC Tips and Tricks Series delivers bite-sized, knowledge-packed sessions to help you think faster and make smarter decisions when every second counts.

Designed for vets who want to refresh their ECC knowledge and sharpen their clinical reasoning, you’ll pick up practical pearls to boost your confidence in triage, stabilisation, and ongoing care, leaving you better equipped for your next critical case!

Urethral obstruction is seen frequently in both cats and dogs. We must prioritise not only relieving the physical obstruction but also managing electrolyte disorders, acid-base derangements and restoring renal function in the face of an AKI. This is achieved alongside efforts to stabilise shock, administering appropriate analgesia and prioritising urgent diagnostics, all of which will be discussed in this session.
