Many felines experience urinary ailments such as cystitis. Cystitis is inflammation of the bladder and is more frequently found in females than males. Natural remedies are an option for female cats but not males, because the male's urethra is smaller and more prone to blockage.

Herbs

Give the feline more water. Make sure it's distilled rather than plain tap water. Give your cat cranberry in the form of a diluted juice or a softgel capsule added to food. This will dislodge bacteria from the urinary tract.
Nutrient supplements
-
Vitamin C is required for a variety of metabolic reactions in animals and is especially helpful for stimulating immune responses. If you cat will eat pieces of orange, it will aid in the treatment of cystitis. Grate some orange peel and mix it in your cat's food. If she refuses the orange peel, purchase vitamin C in tablet form and adminster.
Vitamin E has shown to be helpful in treating cystitis in veterinarian studies.
Conclusion
-
Natural treatment of cystitis can be effective treatment. However, if the condition persists and there are no signs of improvement after one week, or if the condition gradually becomes worse, schedule an appointment with your veterinarian.
