11 Steps To Cat Urinary Tract Infection Prevention
Cat urinary tract infection prevention is a topic of interest to many pet parents especially if they have had past, or recurring, experiences with the condition. Statistically there is about a one in 5 or 6 chance that your cat will become infected, but that is a broad number across all demographics. If you were to take a sampling of felines over the age of ten the number would be moderately higher, and if you were to take a sampling from female felines over the age of ten whose immune systems had been weakened by disease or the aging process the number could be as high as 7 out of 10.
But the key to cat urinary tract infection prevention is really all about two things and those two things are keeping your pets immune system strong and avoiding any potentially infectious contact with bacteria.
Under normal circumstances a combination of proper urine flow, proper pH levels, and your cats immune defenses are more than adequate to defeat virtually all invading bacteria. But make no mistake, bacteria is the ultimate optimist with nothing be time on its hands. If your feline gives it an opening it will take it and the end result will be an infection of the urinary tract.
This doesn’t necessarily mean that the infection will be harmful its infancy and in many cases a cat will show no noticeable symptoms for quite some time. In other cases the infection may resolve itself without ever being recognized.
