Baytril for Urinary Tract Infection for Cats

Baytril is an antimicrobial anti-infection pet medication that has been proven effective against previously difficult to treat bacteria in pets. It is often prescribed by veterinarians to treat respiratory and urinary tract infections in cats, as well as ear and skin infections.

  1. Symptoms

    • A urinary tract infection (UTI) can be identified by monitoring the cat's bathroom activities and water intake. If there is blood in the urine, or if the cat strains or cries out while urinating, or displays excessive thirst, suspect a UTI.

    Specifications

    • Baytril is designed to be rapidly absorbed from the digestive tract and usually penetrates into all tissues of a cat within two hours. Deliver the medicine regularly for the full effect.

    Side Effects

    • Baytril carries some possible side effects, including vomiting and diarrhea in cats.

    Drug Interactions

    • Supplements that contain minerals such as aluminum and iron can interfere with the proper absorption of Baytril.

    Duration

    • Urinary tract infections can take up to 10 days to resolve. Monitor the cat regularly to ensure proper healing is taking place and alert your veterinarian if any symptoms persist or worsen.
