Abstract
A 10-year-old, female, spayed shorthair with presumed psychogenic alopecia was treated with clomipramine (1 mg/kg body weight/day). The cat developed urinary retention within 2 days. Clomipramine was discontinued. Clinical si gns resolved over the next 7 days. The urinary retention was attributed to the anticholinergic effects of clomipramine.
