When you say you have to be careful that it doesn't go into the kidneys, how does one prevent that?
I clean the litter box every day but she is still going in odd places.
I have had to ban her from the living room cause of it. I think I will check out if I can find cranberry capsules or tablets at the health food store. Those would be a lot easier to get down her. I wish those darn checks I'm expecting would get here.... then I could take her in.
Thanks for the info!

Keep the litter box clean so they aren't tempted to not go potty and hold their pee.
Watch to make sure the urethra isn't becomming blocked with crystals, this is a sign its becomming more seriously infected. The best way is with anti-biotics, but she says some UTI's can go away on their own with these simple remedies. See a vet when you can if it gets worse or you find the funds for the vet.
Hope this helps ya! Good luck |
