The kind 74-year-old retiree's stray cat no longer suffers from painful urination (dysuria)

Sep 11, 2014. The 74-year-old retiree loves his stray cat.  The cat has urinary tract infections frequently. What to do?

 

 

No more painful urination for this retiree's stray cat. How come?

In 2014, the 74-year-old man showed me a video of a limping stray cat he felt sorry for. He could not bring it for diagnosis and treatment as this male cat would scratch him.

The retiree used to come for anti)iotics whenever his stray cat suffered from Urinary Tract Infection (UTI0. The cat would recover, but the problem of painful urination and straining to pass urine recurred.

One day in 2013, I advised him to feed the cat the Hill's Prescription Diet C/D, canned and dry to acidify the cat's urine to prevent bacterial infection.He tried this method and the outcome was excellent as his home cat no longer suffered from painful urination and has not come for antibiotics.

I prescribed painkiller tolfedine for this cat. He would let me know the outcome. Later, he confirmed that the stray cat did not have any more painful urination when fed solely on this Prescription Diet.

When he moved out from Toa Payoh to Ang Mo Kio, I delivered the Prescription Diet to him whenever he has no more stock. Image shows the retiree taking the bag home in 2018.

 

Many UTI cat owners in Singapore have difficulty in switching the male cat to a new diet or do not feed the diet exclusively. They will add less expensive cat food or give treats. The recurring UTI in male neutered cats necessitates veterinary treatments. Some cats were put to sleep as the owners could not afford the veterinary fees.
