Your cat's persistent frequent urination after completing a course of amoxicillin for a urinary tract infection is a valid concern, as it may indicate the initial infection is not fully resolved or another issue may be present.
- Frequent urination can continue even after treatment.
- An unaddressed underlying issue might be causing symptoms.
- A follow-up visit with your vet may be necessary.
While antibiotics like amoxicillin are often effective in treating urinary tract infections (UTIs) in cats, some infections may be resistant or incompletely treated, resulting in ongoing symptoms. Additionally, the frequent urination could indicate other problems such as bladder stones, stress-related cystitis, or another type of urinary tract issue. Observing your cat's behavior closely and contacting your veterinarian would be a prudent next step to ensure a full recovery.
