Well Skye had a UTI about a month ago and I noticed she was showing some strange behavior before hand. Well yesterday we noticed her doing the same mannerisms again. I don't wanna take her to the vet. My question is, is there any home remedies that can clear this up?

There's no place like home
If it's an infection, no, there aren't any home remedies. If you have a good relationship with your vet, you might call and ask for them to prescribe another round of antibiotics without bringing in Skye.

There are no home remedies, and if it's a male cat you have to be very careful that they don't get blocked. It can be fatal.

Sometimes it's not always a bacterial infection, therefore antibiotics aren't going to help.

Kitty needs to be on a special food along with Cosequin for Cats, and I would ask the vet to give you something for discomfort that relaxes the bladder when he has an episode. Stress is also a big factor with flare ups.

She needs to see the Vet again. My Coco had to have 6 Bottles of Antibiotics before her last infection went away. What Med was she on before? Coco was on clavamox but she got sick on it and her med was changed to Cephalexen. It tool 2.5 months for her first infection to go away. The last one almost 2 Months. I am still watching her. I hope your Cat feels better. If you let it go tol long it can go in her Kidneys.

what mannerisms does she display? I'm trying to diagnose a possible UTI myself (but I am taking Marvin to the vet today)
