Cat with high pH and blood in urine

Hello there! I'm so sorry to hear about your kitty's troubles. It sounds like you might be dealing with a urinary tract issue, which can be quite uncomfortable for cats. A high pH in the urine often points to alkaline urine, which can lead to the formation of struvite crystals. These crystals can sometimes irritate the bladder, leading to blood in the urine.



At home, you'll want to ensure your cat is well-hydrated. Consider offering wet food if you aren't already, as it can help increase their overall water intake. Encouraging your cat to drink more water by using water fountains or adding a bit of water to their food can also be helpful in these situations.



Watch out for signs that indicate your cat might be in pain, like frequent trips to the litter box, crying during urination, or any obvious signs of discomfort. If your cat stops urinating altogether, it could be a sign of a blockage, which is an emergency situation that requires immediate veterinary care.
