How to Treat Urinary Tract Infections in Cats
Timecodes:
hey I'm dr. Bob Payne a veterinarian in
South Kendall comm let's talk about how
to treat urinary tract infections and
cats 1 most infections and cats are
bacterial they're actually inflammatory
and by that I mean they're like an
interstitial cystitis it's just an
inflamed wall of the bladder so how we
do it here in our practice is we try to
get a what we call assistance and tesis
and take urine directly out of the
bladder with a needle I know it sounds
bad but we do it in Pediatrics and you
medicine all the time we look out a
microscope
we see if there's any bacteria in there
if so then we treat with the bacteria
that we think they're in there sometimes
we culture the urine but I would say
less than 5% of all cystitis Azur
bacterial and herbs and our
inflammations of the bladder are caused
by bacteria viruses don't we don't think
caused it but we treat with antibiotics
we sometimes use anti stress medications
because a lot of these cats are induced
by stressors account side the door
that's screaming it you know mating in
there cats
upset because it's in its territory so
it's stress induced sometimes you get so
status is secondary to renal problems
kidney problems or diabetes so therefore
sometimes we test for renal function and
glucose and make sure you don't have a
diabetic situation or a renal failure
that's causing your cat to get secondary
infections that are secondary to the
actual dysfunction above it so
oftentimes the status is their secondary
or tertiary to the primary cause which
are more important to define than the
bacterial or inflammatory studies your
camp manifests again we sometimes
culture takes a week and put my
antibiotics I put them on three omega
fatty acids because I like the holistic
approach and sometimes that helps the
inflammation I put them on any stress
medications as well so talk to your
veterinarian to find it
