Your cat's recent urinary issues may be a sign that her urinary tract infection has returned, or there could be another underlying issue causing her discomfort.
- Monitor her behavior closely for any changes or increased distress.
- It is possible the infection might not have completely cleared.
- Seeking additional veterinary advice can help determine the next steps.
Urinary tract infections can sometimes persist even after a course of antibiotics. In other cases, factors like stress, crystal formation, or other health issues may cause similar symptoms. It's important to observe her closely and consult with a vet to accurately diagnose and treat the issue. Your vigilance and care are essential in helping her feel better.
