Effective Treatments for Cat's Stubborn Frequent Urinat
Chronic frequent urination can stem from a variety of causes:
1. Crystalline irritation, often resulting from constant foreign particles irritating the urethra.
2. Bacterial infections.
3. Urethral damage from catheterization, leading to urethral hypertrophy and spasms. Many cats experience frequent nighttime urination and daytime napping.
4. Perhaps your cat's constant urge to use the bathroom around you is due to the stress caused by frequent medication, injections, and water feeding. It may be helpful to try calming medications.
Don't expect chronic frequent urination to be resolved quickly, as it often requires a multifaceted approach.
If your cat is suffering from persistent frequent urination and you're eager for a quick recovery, consider the following steps:
1. Ensure your cat drinks at least 200ml of water daily. While诱导 and forced water intake may not always be effective, subcutaneous fluid administration can be crucial. This is a vital step, though many owners are hesitant to do it. Many believe they can force water, but with my experience, few cats can tolerate 200300ml a day. Cats, with their triangularshaped mouths, will simply leak water out if they're not interested in drinking.
2. Strong antiinflammatory treatment is essential. For clients with frequent urination, I recommend a cystitis treatment package, which includes a few days of antibiotic injections. However, many friends dismiss my advice with a simple "I have antiinflammatory medicine." The willingness to cooperate is limited. Over the years, I have treated thousands of feline urethritis cases, and I recommend cefixime and ciprofloxacin, which are highgrade antibiotics. These are effective for less severe cases, but for more thorough杀菌, injections are preferable. The right dosage and frequency, along with fluid therapy, are key to achieving optimal results.
However, the antiinflammatory medicine you mentioned is likely a lowergrade antibiotic like cefuroxime or cephalexin, which can only treat mild infections and is prone to resistance. The effectiveness of antibiotics is not about the quality of the medicine; it's about the lack of efficacy when the dosage is insufficient, which can also lead to resistance.
3. Spasmrelieving medication, such as trospium chloride, and bladderregulating traditional Chinese medicine, such as Urinary Stone Clear, have proven successful in many cases. It often takes about a month of Urinary Stone Clear and trospium chloride to recover, provided that bacterial infections have been addressed with antibiotic injections.
4. Diet adjustment is crucial. A balanced cat food or prescription diet can be a gamechanger in treating cystitis.
While the situation may seem severe, treatment can be swift. The longer the condition persists, the harder it is to treat, making your cooperation even more important. Many owners believe their cat's condition isn't severe and opt to try Urinary Stone Clear first. I recommend hydration and a balanced diet, but they may lack the means. I suggest starting with a few days of antibiotic injections, but they prefer to use the antiinflammatory medicine they have. After taking Urinary Stone Clear for a while, if the frequent urination persists, they may conclude that the medicine is ineffective.
The entire treatment process for chronic frequent urination:
After receiving antibiotic injections, the frequent urination continues. Then, after a month of trospium chloride and Urinary Stone Clear, the condition normalizes. However, there have been relapses later on. From April of last year until February this year, there was a minor relapse, but overall, the condition has remained relatively stable.
