Xena + UTI (Urinary Tract Infection)
Hi Everybody,
I will try to keep it short. Xena is having an UTI again, and yesterday was our crisis day. She is better now, but still 8 days of antibiotics to go, plus 'how on earth do I take her urine sample?' but all I want to say is....please,. keep your cat's liter box inside. And watch it. I taught Xena to actually call me when she is ready for wee or poo, and thanks to that I catch any UTI quickly. What if your cat 'does the business outside'? Please be careful; UTI can kill a cat if not caught early. Regards, Andr0 |

Regards, Andr0 Hi , Some here suggested to me once to polystyrene (sp?) balls in the litter tray instead of cat litter and the wee will collect at the bottom . I'v also read that you must get a urine sample to the vet asap or with in a few hours. That's clever training your cat to get you when she ready to wee. . How did you do that ? With Kim I have to keep my eye on her and be ready with a shallow dish. You have to pretend you're not watching and wait until they are actually peeing before you put the dish under them . You have to be quick thoughG . A sign of UTI is cats peeing inappropriately outside the box. and on plastic bags and in the bath . Many people don't realise this is a sign of UTI and think their cat is being dirty. Kim had a bout of cystitis recently . She is on a canned diet diet of organic food and I add a GAG supplement to her food every other day . Alison |

That's clever training your cat to get you when she ready to wee. .
How did you do that ? - Easy! I heaped prize on her whenever there was a 'deposit' in the box, until she started 'getting me' for the deed.....she knows, this is what makes meowmy happy, and it is her way to say 'thank you' for all the care I give. It can be a nuisance though, as she will scream until I join her in her toilet, while I want to watch a show on TV....LOL! Andr0 |

Sounds like my dog! but he always waits until there's is a good part or the film is nearly over and I never find out what happens. BG Alison |
