“…6,10 Other possible etiology for cystitis might be parasitic infections, urinary crystals and ascending infections. 11,12 Treatment of polypoid cystitis requires the removal of the inciting cause of inflammation, reduction of inflammation, removal of polyps, removal of uroliths if present and adjunctive antimicrobial therapy based on urine culture. 5,6 Dogs with recurrent urinary tract infections and cystolithiasis are at risk for recurrence of polypoid cystitis, but surgical removal of these lesions has been associated with good outcomes however, recurrence is possible.…”

A seven-year-old un-castrated male Shih Tzu dog was presented with signs of in appetence and dysuria for ten days. Abdominal ultrasonography noticed multiple mucosal projections, isoechoic with a mildly thickened bladder wall and sledge in the urinary bladder. Urine analysis revealed a pH of 8.5, specific gravity of 1.050, struvite crystals and microbial culture yielded Staphycolocci and Pseudomonas. Present communication about the rare documentation of polypoid cystitis which was diagnosed by abdominal ultrasonography.

“…This situation favours more frequent parasitemia after earthworm consumption in by city dogs, hunting dogs and stray or outdoor cats. Urinary capillariosis is rarely reported in dogs and cats [12][13][14][15][16]. In both species, it can be self-limiting with no clinical sign [2,3]; thus, the actual incidence of bladder capillariosis can be assumed to be underestimated.…”

“…The successful treatment of C. plica infection with fenbendazole, benzimidazoles, ivermectin, levamisole, moxidectin-imidacloprid and milbemycin has been reported [2,3,5,6,12,14]. The Broadline (Merial) topical treatment is highly effective and is delivered in spoton form, which is easier than oral administration and increases the chance that the owner will successfully apply the correct dose.…”

An unexpected cause of dysuria in a cat in Poland

et al. 2022

Background Urinary tract infestation by Capillaria spp. in domestic cats is rather rare, but can cause clinical symptoms and affect behaviour. To our knowledge, this report is the first to describe a case of urinary capillariosis in a cat in Poland. Case presentation A female formerly stray cat aged about 1.5 years showing dysuria, stranguria, periuria and lethargy was presented at the veterinary clinic. Urinalysis revealed the presence of Capillaria plica eggs in the sediment. The cat was treated successfully with three topical doses of Broadline (Merial, Toulouse, France). Conclusions C. plica is a nematode whose definitive hosts are carnivores, which are infected by eating earthworms (the intermediate hosts). Thus, C. plica infestation is more frequent in wild carnivores and dogs, and rare in cats. Symptomatic bladder capillariosis in cats is very rarely diagnosed and described.
