How long does a UTI in cats last?

Q: My cat has a UTI and the vet also found crystals in the urine. He is now on a liquid diet and I’m giving him a prescribed food called Hills Prescription diet SD. He’s also on anti-biotics. My question is: How long will it take for him to get better? He’s still going to corners, going on the carpet and in my plants. I also found blood. I just took him yesterday. Does it take a few days…and how long do I wait before I should take him back? Thx

A: The antibiotics if administered properly may not have been effective.A culture and sensitivity is a good diagnostic tool to ensure antibiotic sensitivity.I would phone the vet to give them an update.This will also allow the vet to offer a culture and sensitivity or new antibiotic.Another concern is feline lower urinary tract disease aka FLUTD. Its a painful condition that can cause inappropriate elimination.You must treat the pain to control the behaviors.Omega fatty acids are great at fighting inflammation in cats.Your vet can provide intermittent pain management when the cat is experiencing bouts of pain.Buprenex is a synthetic opioid that lasts for 8 hours.It can be given orally and does not have the GI side effects of other opiods.Cosequin is a glucosamine chrondrotin that can be extremely beneficial in treating FLUTD.Call your vet and discuss pain management while treating the UTI.Good luck and hope the cat is feeling better soon
