Yes, they get their blood pressure checked at each follow up appointment. Their blood pressure has been good, despite that we have to travel from our small-town IL area to a Chicago suburb about 2 hours away for appointments. Despite the long car ride and nervousness which kitties naturally have...

Thank you, so much, for this advice! :(

Yes, the diluteness of the urine has been noted and discussed with our vet. He is a cat only vet, the whole practice is. So, I feel that they have a good eye toward looking out for kidney disease, especially because my girls have hyperthyroid and untreated hyperthyroid can sometimes mask kidney...

Thank you for the advice and input. I will try to re-introduce the D Mannose again, in very small increments and try to build up. The D mannose which I bought is the brand which you have suggested, Wellness Partners. You are right, if I do start using anything other than warm water for daily...

No culture was done this time, just a urinalysis. The last time my calico, Clytie, had a UTI in July, a culture was done as she had a course of doxycycline which did not take care of the UTI, so, a culture was done and e-coli was found, then amoxycillin was prescribed, which took care of the...

Yes, I switched the kitties over to wet food a few years ago(a mixture of Fresh Pet Tender Bites and Merrick Backcountry morsels in gravy) . They seem to do a decent job of drinking. So, it seems like I'm doing the things to prevent UTI's, yet, they still keep being diagnosed with them for the...

Yes, they have been spayed. They have no current symptoms, but, they both just finished a course of antibiotics and were clear of infection at their recheck. I am looking to head off future infections as one of my cats was diagnosed with a UTI 3 vet appointments in a row (they go to the vet...

No, I don't plan on using the lemon juice as I Googled it, and it seems to be possibly toxic for cats. ACV seems to be okay, but, I have not read anything directly addressing applying it to their genital/anal area. I'm sort of hesitant to use colloidal silver. I have no personal experience with...

My two older kitties (females, 14 years old) have had frequent UTI's lately. We tried D Mannose, it's not helpful for my cats, as, it gives one of my cats diarrhea. My vet (who is not really a home/natural remedy kind of vet) recently recommended wiping the cats bottoms each day to try to keep...

These two articles are kind of interesting, though, on the subject of manuka honey. It's been shown effective in killing e-coli with those who use catheters. Manuka honey could stave off catheter-associated UTIs Honey May Be a Natural Way to Beat Bacteria

Yes, I don't want to do anything to upset a healthy flora. I checked out the two links you included, but, saw no tips for prevention. I will look at the sites more later. To tell the truth, my veterinarian suggested using the same type of wipes for my cats which humans use. But, I do everything...

I wouldn't usually put food products on the private area of my cats, either. And, I will only use the wipes that I have ordered which has some manuka honey on it. But, manuka honey is well known for its antimicrobial properties, and, it used by doctors to help with wounds which have been...

Yes, I've always been nervous about using anything with aloe on my kitties. I will probably return the wipes containing aloe. I like that the other wipes contain manuka honey because of its antimicrobial properties. I wish that soy was not used in the wipes. I could try to make my own wipes...

I ended up ordering these two brands of wipes from Amazon. If I don't like them, I'll just plan on using warm water on a paper towel, instead. :) Amazon.com Amazon.com

Thank you. I will check that brand out. :)

Yes, I think the fewer ingredients the better, too. I have two bowls of water out, which gets replaced twice a day, with bottled water (Dasani, the same water that my husband and I drink). I don't clean their water bowls daily. I do switch the water bowls twice a week. Both cats seem to do a...

I'm looking for a natural, safe wipe to use on my kitties, primarily, their bottoms, for daily use (per advice of our veterinarian, to try to prevent future UTI's). I've come up with two possibilities of wipes that look reasonably healthy and free of harmful chemicals. I wanted to get input to...

Thanks for this information. How much of each do you use, and, how often? Do you just open the capsules and sprinkle it on the food?

Yes, the couch grass and bearberry are my main concern. Thanks for your input. Yes, hopefully someone else will weight in on my questions. 🙂

One of my cats (both of my cats are females, 14 years old, and, both have hyperthyroid which we treat with transdermal methimazole), has recently had a UTI. She was on liquid compounded amoxycillin for two weeks and that cleared the UTI. But, I want to give her something to prevent future UTI's...
