Blood anywhere is a little upsetting, so all the more when you see blood coming out with your cat’s urine. Before you start to panic, just remember that it is just the way a body tells us that there is something wrong internally. It may not be a serious condition. In fact, it might probably be easily treatable with medicines.
The first thing you have to do is take your cat to the vet. The most common causes for the blood in the urine are stones and crystals, a tumor, poison, or a bacterial infection. For male cats with their long and narrow urethras, it is usually because of stones and crystals.
Most infections can be treated with antibiotics. Unfortunately, there are side effects to this strong medication that can harm your cat in the long run. You could use a natural treatment for minor infections, as well as increase the water in your cat’s diet. It is best to stick with filtered water in stead of tap water because of the presence of chemical in tap water that may harm your cat’s sensitive system.
However, before you decide on your own how to treat your cat, consult a vet first and get his opinion. It could be that your cat is bleeding because of an injury from an accident or fall.
The best part about using natural remedies is the absence of side effects. It will also help your cat recover permanently and avoid a chronic infection problem. Unlike traditional medicines which only cures the disease, natural remedies target the cause as well.
Expect the treatment using natural remedies to take longer than if you used antibiotics, although you can rest easy knowing that the cure will be permanent. A quick fix natural treatment will never be as effective as a daily regimen. They are inexpensive and very safe. What’s more, more and more people and vets are open to the idea of curing ailments using homeopathy treatments, so you need not fear being alone in your methods.
In conjunction with the natural treatment, you could also change his diet to a more natural and unprocessed one. The commercial cat food may have harmful extenders which are good for preserving the food, but bad for your cat.
If you plan to use any homeopathy treatment, look for ingredients with uva ursi or Cantharis. These two herbs work marvels for the urinary tract and bladder. Eventually, problems with bladder infection will stop occurring and you will finally be able to heave a big sigh of relief!
