Meet "Chloe", a 5year old, female, spayed tabby cat who presented to Greenville Veterinary Clinic with a primary complaint of bloody urine. Chloe's appetite and activity were normal, but she was urinating inappropriately. Physical examination was normal except for a thickened, painful bladder on abdominal palpation. Chloe was treated with antibiotics, which temporarily improved her condition, but the bloody urine returned within two months . 
At that time, a radiograph was taken of Chloe's abdomen. The radiograph (x-ray) shown here visualizes the presence of a bladder stone within the bladder. 
The analysis showed the stone to be made primarily of Magnesium and Phosphates. A mineral restricted prescription diet was prescribed to prevent future reoccurances of bladder stones. She was discharged into her loving owner's care to continue her recovery, with a good prognosis for complete recovery.
