Getting Rid of a Male Cat Urinary Tract Infection Fast and Permanently

By Kater On June 30, 2010 Under Cat Bladder Problems, Cat Urinary Tract Infection

If you think that your pet has a male cat urinary tract infection, don’t ignore it because it will not go away on its own. In this article, you’ll learn how to recognize the symptoms and how to treat the infection using a natural method that does not require using prescription drugs. You will also learn how to prevent it from coming back.

Recognizing male cat urinary tract infection symptoms is the first step. Obviously, you don’t want to treat your cat, unless he actually has the symptoms. It is important to confirm these symptoms with your vet.

The only way that your cat can tell you that something is wrong is through its behavior. It’s important to know what is normal for your cat, so you can see when he is doing something that shows there’s something wrong. That said, below are the most common male cat urinary tract infection symptoms:

Going the bathroom outside the litter box. If your cat is suffering from a painful urinary tract issue, he may associate the pain with the litter box, which is why he goes outside it.
Constant licking of the genitals. If your cat annoys you with how frequently he licks his genitals, then understand that he’s trying to tell you something is wrong.
Excessive drinking of water. If you’re having to fill your cat’s water bowl more than usual, this is another sign that there is an issue.

If your pet has a male cat urinary tract infection, the next step is to treat it. Although your vet will probably recommend antibiotics, this is often not the best course of action. Antibiotics can actually make some cats suffer more because they are not a cure and only suppress the symptoms in the hopes that the body will heal itself. Also, if the antibiotics are resistant to the strain of bacteria that are causing the infection, this can make your cat susceptible to recurring urinary tract issues.

An alternative to antibiotics are natural remedies. Made from medicinal herbs that pets chew on if allowed to roam freely in the wild, these formulation actually cure the cause of the infection, stopping it in its tracks. They do this by restoring the proper pH of the bladder which kills off the bacteria and soothes and heals inflamed tissues. Although these herbs are effective at healing a male cat urinary tract infection, they are also gentle enough to use daily for prevention, even for aging cats.

If you need to give your cat a daily herbal supplement for prevention, there are some other things that you can do that will also help your cat. First, make sure that your pet eats nutritious food. Many commercial brands are full of preservatives and cheap fillers. Feeding these processed foods to your cat is like giving him a bowl of chemicals to eat. Second, make sure your pet gets lots of fresh water, which helps remove toxins from the body and keeps the bladder healthy.

Male cat urinary tract infection symptoms can be treated easily and effectively with a minimum of pain and suffering for your pet.
