Lauren asks:
Samantha says: Diet often helps cats if they are prone to urinary tract infections. If you want to change the diet the trick is to do it slowly. It is natural for a cat to ignore a new food- it helps them avoid being poisoned etc. Put a new food down with the old food (a very small amount at first). Your cat will most probably either completely ignore it and eat around it or at best sniff at it and then go away. As long as there is food which she will eat down as well this is fine. After about a week of this, gradually start to reduce the amount of her old cat food and increase the new. Allow around 10 days and often longer for her to be completely on the new diet. As for using your own antibiotics I am afraid that I cannot recommend it and I would urge you to try to get her to a vet if possible. Also consider if she is stressed by anything (for example, other cats in the neighborhood) since stress is often a factor when cats get recurring cystitis.
