URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS IN CATS
The thing about cats is that they often appear to be very cool, calm, and collected, even when they are in pain. They aren’t known as silent sufferers for no reason. In fact, cats cover up their misery because it’s so natural and innate for them to do so. It’s not necessarily on purpose. In fact, it just happens to be an instinct for our feline friends. So how do you know if your kitty cat is suffering from a UTI? Well, cats are sneaky, but they’re not totally deceptive. Let’s talk about the signs and symptoms of UTI for cats.
Warning signs of Feline Urinary Tract Infections:
• Inappropriate urination, or urinating outside of the litter box.
• Straining to urinate.
• Urinating small, frequent amounts instead of normal amounts less frequently.
• An unappealing odor stemming from your cat’s urine
• Licking incessantly at the ge***al or abdominal areas: This is a way for cats to soothe the pain of a urinary tract disease
• Painful urination, sometimes accompanied by crying. This is a sign of an emergency, especially in male cats, that can indicate a blocked urinary tract.
• Having drops of blood in the urine or urine that is cloudy or stinky.
If your cat exhibits any of these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian immediately. Sure, you may end up spending a little bit of money to hear that your cat is perfectly okay, but if you ask us, it is totally worth it. You can’t put a price on the wellness or the health of your beloved pet!
How to Prevent UTIs in Cats
1. Ensure Adequate Hydration.
You’ll want to ensure your cat is always fully hydrated. This starts with leaving fresh, clean water within reach of your feline at all times.
2. Use Canned Cat Food
Canned cat food holds plenty of moisture that can help keep your cat hydrated. And you’ll probably never have a difficult time getting your cat to eat some moist cat food, even if they don’t seem to want to drink any water.
3. Avoid Stressful Situations
Your cat’s health can erode when it becomes too stressed. This stress can cause inflammation within the bladder, infections, and other health issues. By assuring your cat isn’t getting too stressed out, you can prevent a myriad of health concerns from becoming a reality.
Natural Home Remedies For Cat UTIs
1.Drink More Water
While drinking more water isn’t going to eliminate a UTI on its own, it will definitely help to reduce the symptoms, aid other cures in eradicating the UTI, and will also help to prevent more UTIs from occurring in the future. Ensure that your cat always has plenty of water and that it’s in an easily accessible place where they can always reach it.
2. Apple Cider Vinegar
Because apple cider is so acidic, it can help to prevent bacteria from growing in your cat’s urinary tract. This can help to reduce and eliminate any UTIs your cat is currently suffering from.
You’ll want to dilute the apple cider vinegar with water before giving it to your cat; never give them the apple cider vinegar straight.
For smaller cats under four pounds, a few drops added to their water each day will suffice. Larger cats that are over six pounds can have up to half a teaspoon each day. Medium-sized cats that fall between four and six pounds should be given 1/4-teaspoon each day.
3. Bone Broth
Bone broth is a great alternative to plain water. It will help get lots of fluids into your cat to keep them well hydrated and will also provide helpful nutrients for fighting any existing infections. Cats love bone broth and you should have no difficulty getting your cat to drink some, so use this anytime you aren’t sure if your cat is hydrated enough.
4. Parsley Leaf
Since hydration is such a key factor in healing UTIs and preventing them altogether, it’s important to get your cat to drink as much water as possible. Parsley naturally encourages thirst, so using some parsley leaf can help to get your cat drinking more water.
It’s also a natural diuretic with antibacterial properties. It will cause your cat to urinate more, help kill the bacteria in your cat’s urinary tract, help to flush the infection from their system, healing the infection.
5. Corn Silk
Corn silk is a natural diuretic, which can help to flush the system out by increasing water elimination. This means your cat will need to drink plenty of water. The combination of increased water intake and increased urination from the corn silk can help to flush your cat’s urinary tract and get rid of unhealthy bacteria, stones, crystals, and more.
