Remedies Didn't Help Barn Cat in Time

Posted By Mama26kids (Farmington, Maine) on 01/23/2017

"I really wanted these natural remedies to work for us, but unfortunately they didn't and my cat died last night. We noticed on Saturday morning that our barn cat was having trouble peeing, so we brought him in and tried each remedy here...the emergency ACV and the cranberry, also cod liver oil. Sadly none seemed to help at all. He vomited after every dose even just water made him puke. By Sunday evening he was not as active and then suddenly moments after vomiting he let our a couple of cries and died. =( We sadly couldn't afford to go to the vet on the weekend which is 2 hours away. Not to be off topic, but the real problem here for our cats is VETS over charging for services and not accepting payments. Its unethical and immoral and all VETS who do this should be ashamed. Caring for animals is about caring....not cash."

"I just joined and had to comment on your poor kitties demise...I went through the same thing with my Muppet, a 6-year old male cat. Flew to the vet and he told me that Muppet couldn't pee and was basically poisoning himself. Muppet stayed at the vet 3 days, he's on the Hills C/D urinary diet and has been doing great. Vet said he sees cats coming in like this usually on Monday b/c symptoms start on Thursday and by Monday the cat is on death's doorstep. I also realized that a previous cat I owned with similar symptoms died unnecessarily due to a misdiagnosis by a vet I no longer use."

"Apple cider vinegar for cat's uti - I wanted this remedy to work for my cat, but unfortunately he died. I tried the emergency amount and also tried cod liver oil. I'm glad this worked for others, and we didn't have the money for the vet so we tried out best, but our boy didn't make it."

"I have successfully used diluted ACV on my cats with a UTI. IM HAVING TROUBLE BELIEVING the person who said they used ACV and didnt work and cats died. Unless cat had something else wrong with it also."

"Agree completely with last person. One of my male cats died a few weeks ago from a bad urinary blockage. Acute went to critical in one weekend, of course when regular Vet offices are closed and special pet emergency clinics charge a fortune which is disgraceful. Heck, they don't even return phone messages or emails. These animals are not like cars not starting -- flesh & blood the doctors take an oath to care treat. I only once had to try the AVC remedy and it worked on two cats. That was years ago. Now I have a male not peeing and a female barely peeing. They're not pooping much cause they're eating little. I tried three days of ACV & antibiotics. No results. I'm going to try something different again with ACV. It is so stressful for caretakers. I've shared my home with cats for 50 years. Only one death from kidney trouble. Cat was 23 yrs old! Nowadays cats keep getting sick with urinary and GI problems. It's gotta be the food."
