Bought Acv For Cat Having Trouble Urinating

Posted by Deniz (Houston, Tx) on 07/22/2014

My cat is trying to pee but only a few drops are coming out. He's been in there are over 5 min at a time, several times since I got home. I bought some ACV and put it in his water. I also dipped his paw in the ACV/water so he licked that off. I'm not sure that little amount will be enough and he is resistant to all brands/flavors of wet food I've tried since he was a kitten. I don't have any syringes. How else can I help him?

Hey Deniz!

Please read EC's page on UTI's in cats:

It sounds as if it may be an infection vs blockage; if this were my cat facing a blockage I would rush him to the vet.

To get your cat to lick up MORE of the ACV solution you will need to dip more than the paw; consider saturating your cat's back, or even dipping the entire cat in the solution until he is sopping wet given the weather is warm and there is no risk of chill.
