Looks like i have a stray (Oatie) a 3-4 yr old tomcat that has UTI he is one of nearly 15 strays that i'm currently caring for so i want to start off by saying "please" don't say take him to a vet, i have limited funds in the first place and i'm already putting out around $120. a month on care for all these cats, i do this because i care and that nobody else will, but here's what i got going on with Oatie, i've dealt with a lot of stuff but never before a case of UTI, it started showing up on him about a month or two ago, i did'nt know what was happening till i talked to someone that has dealt with UTI and he told it was UTI for sure. all i've been able to do is hit him with the best UTI pills i've got (mixing in his wet food) everyday for about a week or so now and it seems to have slowed the infection down a little but not curing it totally, he seems to slowly be slipping, his current condition is getting skinny, always half soaked with urine on the back legs and does'nt look happy, the best thing i have going for me is that he still has a great appetite but i need any advice i can get short of taking to vet not posssible on my income, is there anything i can put in his wet food or something to help, i feel really bad that i did'nt reconize this earlier, would have made all the difference in the world i'm sure........Oatie is a fixed and friendly male(TNR) that i see every morning when i feed the strays, i'd hate to have to bury him over this but i think that's what i'm headed for so that's why i'm posting for any advice...................
