What Should a Cat Owner Do?

Bloody feline urine should be a matter of concern for a cat owner. You should observe your cat closely for any symptoms of discomfort and treat it appropriately. This is especially true with the problem of bloody urine in cats, as it could be fatal if left untreated for a long time.

Feline urine blood, also known as hematuria, could be caused by:

* urinary tract infections
* kidney stones
* intestinal parasites
* cancer of the urinary bladder

It is usually accompanied by some symptoms like:

* vomiting
* fever,
* loss of appetite
* frequent urination (but only a few drops at a time)
* painful urination
* inactivity
* lethargy.

It is very important to look out for these additional symptoms, as blood in cat's urine is not always visible to naked eyes. Sometimes, there will be visible traces of blood and sometimes, it will be microscopic. In such cases, you need to look out for the symptoms mentioned above to find out if your cat has a problem or not.

Blood is almost always a sign a of a problem that should be treated by a veterinarian. Once diagnosed you can look at some of the care options listed below for longer term prevention.

What most cat owners do when they find out this problem is that they immediately give antibiotics to their cat.

Another complementary option is natural homeopathic supplements. They differ from antibiotics, or any other medication for that matter, in three important ways.

1. They can not only treat feline urine blood, but they can also prevent that problem from recurring. They maintain the right pH levels in your cat's urine and soothe its bladder.

2. They are very safe for your cats. Even if taken regularly for a long time, they do not cause any side effects whatsoever.

3. With regular consumption, they tend to strengthen your cat's immune system and improve its urogenital health.

Some of the important herbal extracts you should look out for while buying natural homeopathic medications for your cat include berberis vulgaris, cantharis, arctostaphylos uva ursi, and staphysagris. All these substances are very potent and can treat almost any kind of urinary problem in your cat.

Along with natural supplements, make sure you give your cat the right kind of food in order to prevent bloody feline urine. Your cat's food should have high water content and should contain very little magnesium. If not, try high quality canned food that is salty in nature. This will make your cat thirsty and drink lots of water. Above all, keep your cat happy. Play with her, take her out, keep her active, and let her unwind at times as well. This is the perfect way to take care of your cat.
