Antibiotic For Cat UTI

Finding the right antibiotic for cat UTI may seem like a simple task. Most pet owners would assume the sequence of events goes something like this; call the vet and set up an appointment; tell the vet your story; vet writes antibiotic prescription; cat is cured in 3 to 5 days. It is possible that this series of events could well happen and you may win the lottery as well.  After reading this article on finding an antibiotic for cat UTI you may have a different perspective. Let's start our investigation by giving a general overview of antibiotics and a few cautionary facts.
 
Antibiotics truly are amazing medications that are effective against both bacteria and fungus in and on a cat's body and are considered the first line of defense against cat urinary tract infections. These drugs are specific for certain bacterium. So, one antibiotic will not be effective against all infections. If the wrong antibiotic for cat UTI is prescribed it may not only fail to eliminate the infection but can embolden the bacteria to become stronger, leading to a recurrent or chronic urinary tract infection. Another potential problem is that the large number of antibiotics now available brings with them the new possibility for cats to develop sensitivities and allergies to specific drugs and increases the risk of administration. And still another problem is that certain antibiotics (tetracycline and griseofulvin) for cat UTI can affect the growth and development of unborn or newborn kittens.
 
Your veterinarian will likely require a urinalysis to determine the appropriate antibiotic for your particular situation. He/She will likely prescribe one of the following antibiotics based on a positive result from the urinalysis; Amoxicillin, Ampicillin, Cephalexin, Ceftiofur, Enrofloxacin, Gentamicin, Nitrofurantoin, Tetracycline, and Trimethoprim. If all goes well you should see a dramatic improvement in a few days.
 
While finding the right antibiotic for cat UTI is the direction most cat owners will choose there may be instances where another option is needed. In these unique cases such as recurrent urinary tract infections many cat owners are optioning for natural alternative UTI treatments such as homeopathy. Homeopathic remedies containing herbal ingredients such as uvi ursi that have been shown to possess antibacterial properties and can be used both as a supplemental or a stand alone treatment.
 
Lastly, it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible if you sense your cat may have a UTI. Urinary tract infections in cats can be a sign of an underlying disease. Also, the longer the infection is allowed to manifest itself the greater chance of kidney infection/damage which can be life threatening.
