Abstract: Uroabdomen in felines is a severe condition characterized by the leakage of urine into the abdominal cavity, generally secondary to vesical and/or urethral rupture. In patients with Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD) associated with urethral obstruction, iatrogenic injury related to procedures such as urethral catheterization or cystocentesis is among the most frequent causes. The most common clinical signs include dehydration, lethargy, abdominal pain, and hypothermia, which may vary according to the volume of urine leaked. Diagnosis is based on medical history, clinical examination, laboratory testing, ultrasonography, contrast radiography, and, most importantly, comparison between serum and peritoneal concentrations of creatinine and potassium. Treatment involves initial clinical stabilization, correction of fluid and electrolyte disturbances, and surgical intervention to repair the rupture. Prognosis depends on the severity of the lesion, disease duration, and the presence of complications, with early diagnosis being essential for improved outcomes.
