The cat later developed acute kidney injury, multidrug\u2010resistant urinary tract infections, and a pelvic urethral stricture. A second case, a 2.3\u2010year\u2010old neutered male domestic shorthair cat, developed a stricture of the pelvic urethra after multiple obstructions and catheterizations. A third case, a 1.2\u2010year\u2010old neutered male domestic shorthair cat, had persistent and prolonged lower urinary tract signs after treatment for a urinary obstruction. The cat also had an abnormally small urethral opening and was ultimately found to have a proximal urethral stricture. The strictures in all 3 cases were successfully treated with a combination of fluoroscopic\u2010guided balloon dilation and short\u2010term indwelling urethral catheterization while managing any present infection.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>New or Unique Information Provided<\/jats:title><jats:p>To the authors\u2019 knowledge, this is the first published case series of successful balloon dilations paired with the use of a short\u2010term indwelling urethral catheter in cats that developed urethral strictures after catheterization due to urinary obstructions. This procedure appears safe and well tolerated and appears to offer a long\u2010term, cost\u2010effective solution to urethral strictures at the level of the pelvis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/vec.13288","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,21]],"date-time":"2023-03-21T14:40:02Z","timestamp":1679409602000},"page":"371-379","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Successful
