Hello! I'm sorry to hear your cat is having a tough time. A urinary tract infection (UTI) can indeed cause discomfort, and if your cat isn't eating and the UTI seems worse, that's concerning. Loss of appetite combined with urinary issues could mean the infection is becoming more severe, or there might be a blockage or inflammation causing pain.
Common causes for worsening UTI symptoms include bacteria, stones, or crystals in the urinary tract. These issues can be quite painful and could lead to more serious complications if not addressed promptly. It's crucial to ensure your cat stays hydrated, as dehydration can exacerbate urinary problems. Encourage drinking by providing fresh water and possibly a little low-sodium chicken broth.
Watch for signs like straining to urinate, blood in the urine, frequent visits to the litter box with little output, lethargy, or vomiting. These symptoms indicate a need for immediate veterinary attention, as they could suggest a blockage or a more severe infection.
Please consider booking a video consult with Dial A Vet. We can explore your cat’s symptoms in more detail and determine the best course of action to get your furry friend feeling better soon.

It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
