I noticed a couple weeks ago, my cat was straining to owe and taking 5 minutes in her box. She kept going back and fourth into it, so I made an appointment..in the mean time, She has gone on every pillow and bed in the house. I have laid on it twice...and cannot get the smell out of my home. We went to the vet and they tested her blood, urine and general health. They found crystals and an unbalanced PH, but no infection. Cystitis was her diagnosis. The blood work has yet to return. I changed over to hills urinary health food..which the vet say may be permanent.they gave her antibiotics just in case. I feel awful, but she is now holed up in the bathroom. I can't afford new beds. She was an emaciated stray that was so sick she was dying when I got her..she has been through 4 antibiotics in 4 months, gained 3 pounds, got rid of a throat, eye and URI, and now this. She also needs her teeth pulled. Is there anything I can give her OTC to help? She is still straining so bad... I want her to have the life she deserves. I saw a PH over the counter and cranberry..as well as one that states it helps with straining and irritation. Anyone else tried these?
