Cats Bladder Infections – Are Natural Remedies the Way to Go?

Article by Jeff Grill

When it comes to cats bladder infections, most cat owners seem to think that antibiotics are the only solution. While they are important, they only treat an existing infection. They do not eliminate many of the causes of infection in the first place. One of the additional support measures that can be taken are natural remedies. There are some very good natural remedies available for this problem and you can certainly give them a try. Let me tell you more about these remedies.

Natural remedies – Why are they good?

When it comes to cats bladder infections, a natural remedy is a good choice because of two reasons. One – it can be effective in cat’s that respond to their use. Two – it is safe. However, you need to make sure you choose the right kind of natural remedy. Homeopathic remedies – An introduction

The homeopathic remedies I am talking about contain herbs like arctostaphylos uva ursi, berberis vulgaris, cantharis, equisetum, and causticum. These herbs can help to improve bladder control, strengthen the urinary tract, cure bladder aches, maintain a healthy flow of urine, get rid of cats bladder infections, and strengthen the urogenital system to a great extent.Cats bladder infections – The Natural remedy approach and its advantages

The most important thing about these homeopathic remedies is that they are completely safe. They can be given along with any medication as they do not react with them.

If given regularly, they can help to protect your cat from future infections and possibly even stone formation. Since these remedies come in the form of tasteless, odorless granules, it is very easy to mix them with food and give it to your cat. Many owners are making these remedies a part of their cats dietary routine.

Apart from these natural remedies, make sure your cat is eating a food that is certified by the AAFCO. Cats need a well balanced diet that only a certified food provides. Home cooked food is not always the right choice since cats need a wide range of nutrients that may be absent from randomly selected foods. Also make sure that your cat is getting enough to drink and that the litter box is frequently cleaned.

Homeopathic remedies are certainly a good solution for preventing future bladder infections and providing added support during treatment for cats bladder infections. There is, however, an important thing you need to remember. You should always consult a qualified vet to find out what is wrong with your cat before you decide to give natural remedies, antibiotics, or any other type of medications for that matter.
