I have a 7 year old, fat, short-haired American domestic tabby cat. My big loveable little guy has had a bad UTI, as the vet described via urinalysis, for at least 3 weeks now. He's been on medications for his UTI, but he also has had the problem of crystals in his urine for about a half a year as well.
My question is, how long do UTIs usually last considering?
My heart is breaking because I've had to keep him locked in a little room with no furniture, and he wants out so badly. Poor guy is just peeing all over our beds and couches, though. We cleaned everything very thoroughly, but he keeps going back to the same spots to pee. My parents are ready to get rid of him, and obviously I just don't want that. They keep saying "he's not getting any better," but I'm convinced that he will! He's been on medication for 2-3 weeks, and he has always been on medication for his crystals.
How long will he avoid the litter box?
Is there anything I can do to help move his healing process along?
Any help will be greatly appreciated— I've spent hundreds of dollars on him, I love him so dearly, and refuse to lose him. He pees in very small increments, so although he is peeing, his bladder is not full.
