I am looking for an over the counter med to treat urinary tract
infection in my cats please and please not some off the wall, home
brewed concoction please.

I recently switched from World's Best Litter original strenght to it's
new extra strength for mutiple cats and within 6 weeks 2 of them were
throwing up and had developed urinary tract infections and are doctor
prescribed meds for digestive tract and urinary tract problems. I
sincerely think that the thing that caused it was the fact that the
extra strenght that I got had more dust and powder in it then the
original version of World's Best.

Don't get me wrong - if my babies are sick they go to the vets. For
these two it cost me over $500 to have them completely tested and
checked out. What I am looking for is some type of preventive thing
for urinary tract infection that might keep it for ever really
developing.

TIA

My babies:

Best preventative is water. Make sure pets ALWAYS have plenty of water
available, not just at feeding times. If pets are inside and outside, you
need a water bowl in both places with fresh water. Moisten dry food and add
water to canned food.

Thanks for info. Will try it (Vitamin C) after I get the furbabies
cured and back on track.

As for what caused the present UTI I think it was the change in litter
but as for the preventative treatment it does not matter what could
cause it. I want to try to pervent it no matter what could cause it
AFTER the vet cures what they presently have.

As for food they get mostly canned but have dry always available which
is Hill's Science Diet dry mixed half and half with Friskies Gourmet
dry. They get a variety of 9 Lives canned, Fancy Feast caned and or
Sheba in the morning and evening. Plus they get fresh water AT LEAST
twice a day and they have mutiple litter boxes. The furbabies are
from 1 year to 8 years and get all their shots and yearly checkups
plus they go to see Dr Tina whenever they get sick or act different
for more then a day and are strictly indoor cats so they are well fed
and cared for. They are my babies and I will not take a chance on
anything happening to them!!!

Look for ultra premium foods like Felidae, they have cranberries in
them. If they'll drink cranberry juice mixed with their water, give them
some. Also, feed mostly wet food, particularly if you have males. There
is no reason to be feeding corn and rice to an obligate carnivore.
