Urinary track infection

15:57:03

Question
My 5 year old male Persian started going on a love seat and wingback chair 3 days ago.  He was fixed when a kitten.  No new animals or stress.  What do you think it is and is there anything I can get at the drugstore without taking him back to the Vet. which he hates?

Answer
Phyllis,

Urinary tract problems are one of the major causes of death in young neutered males.  I would have your boy to the vet to have him checked out and treated.

Also, one way to help is to provide your Persian with distilled water to help prevent these in the future.

Best regards... Norm.
