All makes sense, no worries! I agree it seems strange that both cats have UTIs! Maeby's labwork came back just the other day, they said she has a Staph infection in her urinary tract. Shes on 14 days of Amoxicillin 2x a day. It's hard to tell if both cats are symptomatic- one of them had been...

Hi Stephanie- Do you know if D-Mannose or Cornsilk have any drug interactions to be aware of? From the little info I've found, it seems like there are no known interactions. I'm considering for ordering it for both cats at this point since they're both dealing with UTIs, however both are on...

My other cat, Maeby, now has a UTI. The vet says it's unlikely it transferred...but she's also never had one before, so the timing is odd. The vet prescribed Amoxicillin and suggested we do a 5-day course while we wait for the culture to come back (What type of bacteria, what can treat it)...

For that urinalysis, he may have received fluids, but I'm not positive. They had kept him there for 2 hours because he didn't have enough urine. I had also been told his may be more diluted because he's been on a Urinary SO diet for around 10 years which causes him to drink more. He's always...

He's just about back to eating normally! Schedule is a little off but he's getting blood pressure meds, gabapentin, and a probiotic again :) So prepping for next steps: Does anyone have experience with repeat UTIs and bad reactions to antibiotics? If we can't go an antibiotic route, what can...

Yes, no poop that we've seen since Sunday. Of course, if he isn't having diarrhea anymore, it's harder to distinguish his from our other cat's. Agreed, the last few days we wrote it off to not eating much, but I'm getting nervous not catching him going today yet.

He did better yesterday, ate a full can, around 1/4-1/3 of another can, and a 1/8th cup of dry food. The vet wants him to come back in, but I'm not sure if that's necessary at this point? I know I don't want to give him the Covinia shot and I can't imagine we'll try Amoxicillin again... That...

He's been on a Urinary SO prescription for around 10 years so we've avoided giving him different food until recently. He was enjoying the Hills I/D prescription food until he started vomiting it up. He's eaten most of his 1st can today (went back to Urinary SO), we might give him some of our...

He's had 2 urine cultures at this point- one from each vet. It didn't sound like PH or protein were issues, but it's hard to tell from the lab results I attached. The original vet had said this specific bacteria is likely something he picked up because of his PU surgery. Definitely interested...

He's currently getting the Purina pre-biotic/probiotic combo. We did get him on Cerenia after he was vomiting on Doxycycline and had gotten him back up to a normal eating habit- though he was still having diarrhea by the time we gave him Amoxicillin.

I feel like we're reaching the point of no antibiotics unless matter of life or death with him...after the disasters with both Doxycycline and Amoxicillin...but it's hard to gauge how painful the UTI actually is for him. We had been giving both meds with food and probiotics a few hours after...

They said that Amoxicillin would be the most effective. They also said the previous vet had notes that he had negative reactions to Amoxicillin, Penicillin, and Doxycycline. We have not tried any supplements, what do those help with? Infection, appetite, or nausea?

My cat Espn (16) has a history of UTIs. Back in 2014, my vet said he had a type of bacteria that would "flair up" in stressful situations (likely due to his PU surgery back in 2012). In September, we assume it flared up after a stressful vet visit- 2-3 times we found urine right outside of the...

Poor girl! Sounds like a stressful time and it sounds like most people find out when their cat loses weight. Maeby is only 3 days into meds so I’m hoping for steady improvement and no surprises!

That’s good to hear, they made it seem very rare. What did Lily’s feel like? Did you end up doing surgery?

I second that it is like the common cold for cats. I brought 2 unrelated cats home from a shelter years ago and a day later one of them was sick. Vet said it was herpes virus- she ended up with one eye having an infection and a week later the other eye-getting it so it looked like she was...

Hi All- Back in August I felt a lump in my cat Maeby's throat and immediately booked an appointment. In my mind, best case scenario was hyperthyroidism. When I got to the vet, she couldn't feel it but her thyroid T-4 level came back at 4.1. Vet said they start watching thyroid with T-4 levels...
