Can Apple Cider Vinegar Help My Kitten Constantly Leaking Urine?

My five month old kitten has a urinary issue. Not a UTI. Leaking urine almost constantly and the area is sometimes raw and inflamed. Can Apple cider vinegar help?

Hello Gail,

Do you know why your kitten is leaking urine? Is it a spinal deformation/Manx cat or stumpy? ACV may help with internal bladder health, but it will not address a conformation deformity. You might consider topical zinc ointment/baby rash ointment - but if your kitty licks it of this would not be a good solution for long term use. Another oil such as coconut, with calendula and lavender might help with the raw skin.
