Cat still lethargic after UTI treatment

Hi there,



I’m sorry to hear that your cat is still feeling under the weather after UTI treatment. It’s understandable to be concerned. While urinary tract infections can make our feline friends quite uncomfortable, they usually start bouncing back once treatment begins.



Lethargy after a UTI could have a few explanations. Your cat might be taking a little longer to recover from the infection, or there could be an underlying issue like stress, kidney concerns, or even a different type of infection. Sometimes, the antibiotics themselves can cause some tummy upset or discomfort, leading to less activity and a decrease in appetite.



At home, ensure that your cat is drinking plenty of water and has a quiet, comfortable space to rest. Encouraging gentle play with a favorite toy can sometimes lift their spirits. However, watch for signs that could indicate a more serious issue, such as continued difficulty urinating, blood in their urine, vomiting, or not eating or drinking at all.



Since your kitty is still not quite herself, it’s a good idea to follow up with a vet. I recommend booking a video consult through Dial A Vet, where a professional can guide you on the next steps specific to your cat’s needs.



Hoping to see your cat back to their playful self soon!
