No comments

By ALEN LEW

  Cat Urinary Tract Infection or UTI is something that should not be laughed at. As serious as human cases, it was said to be caused not only by bacteria but also by numerous physical factors, and some of these are; first, the high ash content found on dry pet food. These commercial foods are made with undesirable remnants from the human food industry. In the US, majority of the states allows the producers to use dying, diseased and disabled slaughterhouse animals. Then it was found out that this meat could be cancerous and sometimes high in hormones. In addition, the high sugar content of these pet foods affects the pancreas and adrenal glands. Using corn syrup inhibits the growth of useful intestinal bacteria while other ingredients that are used to retain proper food texture and longer shelf life may be full of carcinogens.

Another factor is stress; because our pets depend on their owners for love, guidance and sustenance, whenever our emotions get out of control our pets are affected. It somehow creates a huge impact on them without us being able to notice it. These effects may be behavioral, may exacerbate existing health problems, or may just develop illness due to anxiety.

How would you know if your cat already has UTI? Well the signs are obvious; one of these is when your cat is straining to urinate, passes only small amounts of urine and your pet experiences pain in doing so. You may also see blood mixed in your cats urine while it is scattered outside the litter box.

Now, the question is how do we prevent this to happen to our cats? A natural and healthy diet will do and a kind loving home that is very considerate on the pets emotional and physical well-being. A clean shelter for them would be very helpful. Also, give your cats their needed supplements to maintain the right balance of vitamins and minerals. Giving them wet cat food is also highly recommended. Given your cat is already infected; giving them antibiotics would be the cure available to you. However, of course, it would still be better if you will bring your cat to a veterinarian.
