This is what I did likewise: Rub Organic raw unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar with "the Mother" on their fur (cat's sides) or the top of their paws. They will lick it off. Use at least two tablespoons in a day or if necessary a few days in an emergency for cats. For very young cats reduce that amount to one tablespoon. For kittens use only a teaspoon. Rub the organic apple cider vinegar on each side of their fur or the top of their paws until you see them have relief. Remember to shake the bottle first. If you have a wild cat that doesn’t take orders, then douse him with a good bit in a small glass. A lot will bead of his fur. Also, they will not be able to lick off the entirety of it all at once. Organic apple cider vinegar will start to go into immediate action for the cat to get relief from the blockage. It saved my cat that was pissing blood and then could not pee while squatting all the time. Also, it helps get rid of UTI bacteria; Walmart sells it. Ideally, it is best to use organic apple cider vinegar because it tastes rather good and is much more tolerable for the cat to ingest it compared to the filtered kind which tastes horrible. Remember only to use the organic apple cider vinegar as necessary. Too much too often could lead to an ulcer. From my experience a couple tablespoons a week has not hurt my cat. If it is a real emergency you could go beyond that just do not let it come to a habit of more than that each week. Keep in mind; you will likely have reoccurring bouts with this for a while. That is why I recommend some other preventative measures as you read on below: Keep in mind that it is important to ensure cats, when feeling normal, get enough water to keep their system flowing. Ensure they eat wet cat food over dry for the moisture content, Consider temporarily stopping the cat from eating dry food or even permanently if necessary. Too much dry food leads to blockages with lack of hydration compared to canned cat food. Try putting some added bit of water in their wet food. Avoid salty meats if they are having this problem. Salty meats or salty canned food meats like tuna will stop up your cat for sure! If you use clay litter make sure you use the unscented. Scented can irritate their pee track with synthetic chemicals leading to inflammation and UTI blockages. Never use clumping litter for cats; it can lead to blockages because cats can ingest it much easier. That can cause ingestion of sludge and bacteria leading to inflammation and UTI’s. Clumping litter is known to be extremely dangerous for kittens and not good for cats in general. Buy only fragrant free non-clumping litter, and then add one heaping tablespoon of baking soda mixed in per 10 pounds of cat litter that you use. It will naturally neutralize the smell; Just do not go beyond that because baking soda is really high in salt which is dangerous for cats if they ingest it more than a tiny amount by licking their paws each time using the litter box. I have used it for my cat and it works well, he actually prefers this litter combination. Baking soda is known to help aid and help get rid of UTI’s. Never give it to your cat other than in the litter! Additionally, use feline pine litter and add it to your litter with several handfuls to add a nice fragrant smell. A little goes a long way to just supplement the litter. Also, consider buying "cranimals" from amazon. It is a cranberry extract that helps the kidneys and gets rid of UTI problems. Put 1/4 teaspoon in two small cans of wet cat food or equivalent to that with one big can. You can also wash out an old salt and peppershaker to sprinkle a decent amount in their food. Any amount more than that I have noticed they will not eat it. Putting cranimals cranberry powder in their food will help keep their pee acidic to break down crystals. Additionally, "Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth" helps assist in UTI treatment sold on Amazon. It is a "diuretic" thus helps people and animals urinate 30% more to empty the bladder to keep crystals from forming. Completely safe for cats with no limitations of consumption and has no salt in it. Cats tolerate it because it has almost no taste. Just be careful not to breathe it in by getting it dusted up in the air because it is dangerous to breathe it in. Make sure to only use "Food Grade."Use at least about 1/4 teaspoon per small can wet cat food. Lastly, I have learned of a brand called "tinkle tonic" from chewy or amazon that some claim helped their cats. Finally, consider your cat’s stress level. Stress could be another factor that can lead to inflammation of the bladder area. Try to ensure he has enough to do to keep happy.

I appreciate this. I’m at wits end. My baby is having a flutd bad uti and stones and he’s been miserable since Saturday night. He’s on meds and had shot of anotubiotic so notice he has more urine come out instead of dry strain but now when he’s squatting all over my living room every 5 minutes he’s leaving more urine. I can not live in a house full of cat pee….I’m desperate for him to get better. He’s had a ironlike this 8 years ago and never did this and unfortunately I can not afford 1000 bill up front right now 😢
Thank you so much for the video. I went to the vet, paid $780 just to get into an emergency appointment and get my cat Rocky diagnosed with urinary blockage. I waited 4 hours at the vet, but Rocky still couldn’t pee and the catheterization was $1500. I took him back home, did my research and found your video. I got ACV for $5, fed him 5ml, and he peed within 2 hours. The next day he was completely fine. Thank you again!
That is absolutely wonderful to hear! Thank you so much for the super thanks! If you haven't already, try to switch Rocky to a wet food diet and consider using softened or cat water. Wishing Rocky many years of health from here ❤️🩹
I’m glad your boy Rocky is ok. I’ve been there man it’s harrowing. \😩 Try to be sure to give him a little ACV treatment every couple weeks so h3 doesn’t get this problem again. It seems to happen to the same cats a lot. This is my third time going through this….
Two weeks ago I paid 700.00 at the vet to treat my male cat's blockage. Yesterday I noticed that he was having problems urinating again and I cannot afford another vet visit. I gave him 5 ml of apple cider vinegar as you recommended. Within an hour of giving him 2 doses, it was as if a dam broke. He couldn't even make it to the litter box to urinate. The urine went everywhere! Your advice saved my best friend, Tiger. Thank you so much!
A month ago i cried a lot coz i know my cat will die coz of blockage..he cant walk anymore after two days of trying to pee and his lower tummy is so hard, but i always give him apple cider vineg, he suffers from uti last december but it healed. And the after three days i woke up 4 am then i got up and prepared myself for the worst, then i saw a lot of blood everywhere in the house than i look in the bathroom and saw my cat while peeing blood! So i woke my husband up crying and say Ginger is peeing and hes gonna be okay! He continue to pee bloody urine for 2 days and then it became normal. We started buying urinary tract catfood and then it didnt come back anymore. This video really helped me.
@@meako20 that’s what I have been getting my cat. Urinary tract food. After he was blocked and spending $2300 on his surgery I thought things will be alright. Giving him the food he needs and making sure he drinks water but he suffered the same thing today. And I’m going through videos on what I can do. But still don’t understand why he went through it again.
Thank you yeah I've been so worried I have 2 cats both going through it at the same time I moved house and they got stressed out and give them uti I have gone to the veterans twice and they still only getting little drops out so tomorrow I am trying again with the vet it's hard because money
@@sarahramjit7119 I end up finding two products that work so good . Tinkle Tonic and cranberry pills with D mannose. I also switched over to mostly wet food now. I was giving him doses of the acv like 3 times a day.
IT WORKS!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! My cat spent 4 days at vet with catheter due to blockage from crystals and other matieral (but no stones) He came home and I had to take him back again just 2 days later. After a full week he was doing horrible. No energy, still not peeing more than just a few drops a day, barely eating, and of course the Vet told me to bring him back again, but I could not afford to. I watched this video, used a syringe & only gave 3ML instead of 5ML, and he also foamed at the mouth. I gave him a small amount of wet food right after just to help everything stay down.....BUT 4 hrs later he peed! The next day he kept peeing (possibly a bit more than normal) but I'm sure it was just the vinegar doing it's thing. We are on day 2 and he is finally normal again! He's eating, wondering around inside and outside, energy is back up, his personality is back and he's peeing!!! (regular amounts now) I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH!!!! And not to mention how many thousands of $$$ you saved me! (FYI - For anyone who is going to try this, my cat did throw up once the day after he had the vinegar. I'm sure the it was harsh on the stomach, but after that, he's had no issues.)
I also wanted to add....The doseage needed for each cat will be different, but mine weighs 17lbs and we only had to give 3ML once. I will keep monitoring the litter box, but so far, that small amount has worked!
Thank you so much for posting this video. My cat, THX-1138, was at death's door and your advice cured him within several hours. I can't thank you enough!
Many, many thanks to you too! I have to say I absolutely love the name of your cat and I am glad to hear this helped him out. Make the switch to wet cat food now. I think there is some other helpful preventative advice in the pinned comment too. Thanks again!
I am a vet tech since 1999 so first ….good suggestions. Now some for you. To prevent you from getting scratched when giving the apple cider vinegar wrap the cat in a towel. Another thing to be aware of is that there is a school of thought that stress adds to this issue. So as much stress as you can remove from your cat”s environment the better. You can use pheromones,cbd oil or catnip to help.
Be cautious about using herbal remedies to calm cats... Cats can't process a lot of the chemicals in plants like we do because they are obligate carnivores. Many oils that are relaxing to humans are poison to cats. Also, some cats actually have a paranoid reaction to cat nip, so if your cat is pne of those, don't. But yeah most relax on it.
Hi. My cat is hyper thyroid. Hes been off his meds a few weeks and is having an episode of circling. He hasnt peed in two days. If he possibly has kidney damage, is this still a solution? Can it be damaging to give him if his kidneys aren't functioning possibly? Like will the vinegar build up in his system and be toxic? Thanks.
how much apple cider vinegar must we give? do we dilute or not? and for how long must we continue? does it work on UTI without blockage? my cat can pee but sometimes he sits but there is no pee. We tried antibiotics, and cortisone. Cortisone worked for 3 weeks and we re back again in the same position. He sits to pee but nothing comes out. he tries a few times. We re on urinary diet for a month but it seems to have no affect..
interesting. It's amazing that effect of various stresses on cats. some poor lady on reddit just moved and neither of her two cats will leave their carrier or eat or explore her new place .
Im a vet in South Africa and agreed that vet bills are very high in the US. I'm a little sceptical of this treatment but also interested that so many people have posted a positive response. When a cat is taken to a vet with this problem it gets sedated and a urine cather passed into the bladder to remove the obstruction. Even with sedation and the correct equipment it can be hard to remove the obstruction. (The obstruction can be made up of crystals, mucus, blood, proteins and other stuff). There is a condition in cats called idiopathic cystitis where there is no physical obstruction but an irritated bladder and urge to urinate. It's not life threatening like a true blockage as cats can still pass urine. Maybe the cat in this video (and the comments) are suffering from cystitis and not a true blockage? There are a lot of questions raised by this video that would make for an interesting discussion: 1. Most websites state the vinegar although acidic creates an alkaline urine when broken down in the body 2. Urine crystals are generally made up of magnesium-ammonium-phosphate that are dissolved in acid urine not alkaline urine 3. Some crystals are made up of calcium-oxalate that are dissolved in alkaline urine 4. Cats that are already blocked should not respond to changing the pH of their urine as the blockage has already formed 5. Many comments state that the treatment worked within minutes, this indicates that urine pH changed within minutes and dissolved the obstruction 6. Be careful when squirting vinegar into your cats mouth, if that gets into the lungs you will have another serious problem 7. Surely it needs to be heavily diluted, straight vinegar is seriously acidic and may even harm your cats mouth and stomach. Has Farmer Dad made a really interesting breakthrough in treatment? Are the cats truly blocked? Does vinegar have some other action that we dont understand? WARNING: If your cat is truly blocked and cannot urinate then toxic substances build up in the blood which become life threatening.
Hi Farm Dad, I just wanted to say thank you. You saved my 9 Year old boy. He has suffered from urinary blockages for so so long and had so many surgeries. He was completely blocked and barely urinating and when he did it was bloody. I didn’t want to put him through yet another surgery so I administered 5ml 3x today (he’s a very large cat) and sure enough he passed three stones. I even took him to the vet after to Make sure they were all passed and sure enough with ultrasound they confirmed he was crystal free. I told them of your method and they were so impressed and said they would even recommend it to clients. Thank you. You saved his life ❤
The vet check up came to $100 but it was sure better than the $2000-$4000 surgery they would of done if I didn’t use this method ❤ and he gets to heal naturally . THANK YOU
Just one last update on THX 1138. He had a brief second episode maybe two weeks after the initial problem, but the vinegar sorted him right out. I switched him to canned food after the first intervention and I would suspect that the second, less major event was due to a residual mineral buildup in the kidneys. There seem to be a fair number of these sesquella events reported in conjunction with feline urinary blockages, so I would advise cat owners to keep a close eye out and be ready to intervene at first sign of a subsequent event.
Hallelujah! It worked for my baby too. This is amazing! Why is this not common knowledge? I will do my best to spread the life(and pain)saving information as much as I can. Thank you so much for making this video!
I just wanted to thank you very much for posting this. I took my cat into the vet for two issues, one of them was blockage. The vet didn't seem to think there was an issue or didn't see one and sent my cat home. When I called back an hour later telling them he still was straining they said, "well, you can bring him back in" that was after I spent $1000. SOOO MADDENING. Long story longer, I treated my cat with 450mg Apple cider vinegar pills. Opened up the capsule and gave half of it in a small quarter size bit of wet cat food. He ate it no problem. Gave him the second half a littler later. When I got up this morning, I noticed my cat pee' d a little in his box. After about 20 mins of him being out of his crate, he pee' d outside like a trucker!!!! You saved me not only a couple of hours at the vet, but about 1200-1400 dollars. I have two older cats, 14 and 15 y/o. I will no be adding this apple cider vinegar to my list of miracle supplements for my keeks. L-Lysine is a great supplement to keep your kitties healthy. I also give them cranberry, from gel pill, in their food on occasion.
Earlier this year, my cat had to go to the vet for a complete blockage. He was at the vet for days with a catheter and spent over $1500. Within a month he slipped out the door and I haven’t seen him since. It was devastating. Now my other cat is having trouble urinating and I’m having PTSD. I love my cat, but I can’t fathom spending that much again. I got him antibiotics but they haven’t seemed to help much. They’ve just kept him from being completely blocked. I just picked up some apple cider vinegar and administered the first dose. Hoping for some relief by the time we wake up. When I was 18, I rescued a dog from the pound and at eight weeks she developed parvo, when I took her to the vet, the vet said she needed to stay and get IV fluids, and that it would be at least $1000. I pleaded with the vet and told her I couldn’t afford it. She told me I shouldn’t have a dog if I can’t afford the treatments. It traumatized me, and I think that’s a terrible attitude. I think my cat and dog are much happier with me than on the streets. He’s happy and his basic needs are taken care of. Just because I can’t afford a new transmission doesn’t mean I don’t deserve a car. You never know what’s going to happen. Anyways, I found someone saying they had used Kaopectate and Pedialyte and their dog made a full recovery. I tried it and within 12 hours, my dog was so much better. She ended up living for 15 more years. So I really appreciate you doing this video. It’s not about being lazy or not wanting your pet to have the best care.
I agree with you very much. I am glad the veterinarians I used to work for did not have that attitude about affording treatment. That was a terrible thing to say. I hope your kitty is seeing an improvement by morning 💜🤞
Go to a different vet shes horrible and negotiate payment plan if you have to some charities actually provide free vet care 2 in ireland do as you can't surely give your dog away or send it to a shelter. Tried to get it for Willow last year sick cat with FIP she died ultimately the owner was afraid to find out. I had a cat with Fip and wanted her to be euthanized as its 100 per cent fatal.
I hate to say this and it may not be true of ALL vets but most of them now are money grabbers We feel like we have been throughly hosed be the vet and the emergency clinic lately.
Thank you so much! I just spent $4K in January alone treating my cat's (Louie) urethral blockage. I knew that it will most likely reoccur and it did. The one thing I regret not doing is getting the wet prescription food. I ended up getting a kibble after the first blockage. Yesterday I noticed Louie didn't urinate all day and didn't eat his food. This time I tried diluted ACV and fed him using a syringe. To hold him steady I used the towel wrap method (learned from UA-cam as well) and aimed for the back of his throat to prevent foaming (which is normal). I also dipped his front paws in ACV (not diluted) and spread it over the sides of his body as one commenter suggested. He kept licking it which was great. It worked and I am so grateful you decided to make this video. I would like to thank you and all the participants who shared their stories and participated in the discussion. Literally, life-saving.
Same story re the $ and recurring issue with the dry urinary diet. I now give him a subcutaneous fluid drip ( 100-200ml) weekly. Will try the ACV next time but so far neither me or the vets have successfully gotten him to take anything orally. H turns into the Siberian hulk
My 14 year old male cat, "Honey Cookie" had a blockage 3 days ago. We spent a lot of money for treatment but it didn't work. I was looking for a place to open on New Year's Eve to put him down to stop his suffering and spend a miserable, sad, beginning of the year for my family and me.. Someone sent me your video and tried the acv asap. Honey Cookie made it! After 6 hours, he peed 3 times already and he's back to normal!!! He's hungry and eating well. Thank you very much from the bottom of our hearts from my husband and kids. There are no words to thank you, really, no words to thank you specially at this time of the year. I will share this video to family and friends to help other kitties on similar situations. Obviously every case is different but it worked wonders for us. Thanks again and happy 2023 for you, your family and pets!!! 💕💕💕💕💕💕🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇😇😇
Well hearing this has helped me start my year on a high note! I am thrilled to hear this helped save Honey Cookie! Be sure to read the pinned comment for some more good advice on preventing future blockages.
Tried this method. Mixed fifty fifty water. Vinegar. My cats fever immediately went down and started peeing. She feeling a lot better. Moving around and purring!!! Thanks soooo much for your help!!!!!!!
You just saved my cat Marley! This worked within 1 hour. He was totally blocked and had been for 2 days! The vets were all closed as it is a weekend and a small farm town. I gave him 5 mL undiluted and within an hour a small drop of pee. 1 hr later I gave him another 5 mL and a half hour later a huge lake of pee all over the bathroom floor like a flood let loose! Totally a miracle as he was shaking and crying out in agony and I feared he would have a bladder rupture and die. It was heart wrenching. Thank you so much from the bottom of my family’s hearts!!!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, this saved our cat! She's having a hard time urinating and only pee a little with blood. After doing it for 5days (5ml, 2x a day), our cat is now okay.
Thank you for saving my 20+ year old cat. We are strapped financially after she had surgery. Much love to you and your family. Will keep you all in my prayers !!!
This is a miracle!! Our sweet boy has been having issues with urine crystals and was catheterized recently. The catheter was removed earlier this week and today, I noticed he was having issues peeing again - going to the litter box every 2 minutes, straining to pee and no urine coming out. He would then cry loudly and lick his private area. I felt so completely distraught because we spent a ton of money at the vet and he suffered so much and everything is closed here for the holidays until Tuesday. In complete desperation, I stumbled on this video. We gave him a dropper of ACV with the mother diluted with water. A short while after, he actually peed! I almost cried. He then peed 4 more times. And did a beautiful poop after. I'm so happy I could jump. Thank you SO much for this video!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Currently my situation with my cat he got admitted for 3 days with catheter on it was just remove yesterday and today just this moment he had difficulty again i already spend a lot of money 😢 admission medication food and other stuff this give me hope ill buy acv right away once the stores opens thanks.
I’m so glad I found this video. My 3 year old boy cat had a blockage and I took him to the ER. They recommend keeping him for 48 hours with a catheter and on fluids. The catheter ended up blocking too and the vet had to unblock it. Her recommendation was to keep him there for a third day to see how it goes or to spend money on a PU surgery to shorten his urethra which would reduce future blocking down to 20%. The vet said that since the catheter blocked the chances of another block when he got home was highly likely. I decided against the surgery and also against keeping him at the vet for a third day. I brought him home after 48 hours at the vet. The cost for 2 days was $5,100. I syringe fed him a 50/50 mixture of ACV and water. 12 hours passed and he urinated 3 times in 5 minutes. A little bit of crystalline substance came out of his urethra. Moving forward he will be on wet food. Thank you so much for posting this! I can’t imagine forcing him to undergo surgery.
Thank you very much to the creator of this video. I did this yesterday on my cat. The first time my cat was blocked I panicked and I had no idea why he could not pee, so I took him to the Vet and was hit with a 1,100 bill. The second time my cat got blocked, I decided to go the ACV route. It took a whole 24 hours for the vinegar to truly kick in. Yesterday he was peeing maybe a drop, this morning there were entire pools of pee all around my house. Thank you again, sir! I probably couldn't have afforded a second Vet bill. Also, I have begun giving my cat "farmina urinary wet cat food" he loves it and it seems to help with his urethra. Thank you again and i hope everyone's cat makes a full recovery!
This gives me hope! I gave my cat some ACV about 20 minutes ago, and he's been squatting repeatedly! I just hope in a couple hours he'll be able to pee
This saved my boy !! Thank you ! We just spent 3,000 on him at the animal er in October he started getting blocked lastnight and I have him some acv and about 2-3 hours later he was able to empty his whole bladder ! So happy found this video
Thank you, this saved my cat's life! Gave my cat some apple cider vinegar and about 6hours later he peed for the first time in about 2 days. Had a bit of a sore throat afterwards but been a week now and he's back to normal again! Thanks again! ❤
Thinking the vinegar should be diluted some ( like it should be for people) so it doesn't damage their esophagus or stomach. Also once I gave my cat cinnamon capsules to help with a urinary infection, it helped. ( Are cranberry capsules fine too ? ).
I had to come on here and just say thank you a millions times! My cat has had a history of UTI due to bladder stones. Vet told me to keep an eye out on him because he may eventually block requiring ER visit. Last night, my cat was not urinating at all to the point he started to grunt and growl at me because he was in pain. I called around a few ER vets and asked for a quote about how much it would be to get him checked and everyone was ranging around the thousands which I cannot afford!! Thankfully, I found this video and gave my cat a shot of straight ACV, 4 ml, and he reacted the same way as the cat in the video. I was extremely skeptical and was so sad I would possibly wake up and no longer have my cat around. This morning, he actually woke me up to feed him and I went to check his litter box, which I also place on top of a pee pad, and saw he had urinated so much! And I also saw something dark and round, wasn’t poop, so I’m assuming he passed whatever may have blocked him! My cat is back to his normal self and he seems sooo relieved!! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!!!
That's wonderful to hear! Check out the pinned comment because there's some good prevention advice in it. I hope your kitty won't have to go through this again 😁
Never comment on stuff but have to on this one. Have a Young male cat under 3 years old, had a prior blockage and started getting one again today. Trickling flow and stomach getting firm. Found this video and Got 10ml of ACV in him over a few hours and another 5ml mixed in his food. Already massive increase in his urine flow and energy. Still going to be checking in with the vet over the next couple days but still thrilled to give him some relief. Thanks again!
Thank you for posting this video! Also, super grateful to my brother for finding it! I thought I was gonna lose my cat and cried a ton last night. The vet was already closed so we didn't want to risk him dying overnight and decided to go ahead and take another risk and give him the acv. So we gave him acv since everyone said it works. We gave him 5mL and then an hour later another 5mL. He wasn't peeing for HOURS and I became super discouraged. 12 hours later and my cat is peeing everywhere!! He doesn't look so weak and lethargic anymore and ate 2 cans of the food that the doctor prescribed and drank some water after not eating or drinking the whole entire day prior. So far so good, hopefully he gets better and better and we won't need a second expensive vet visit either.
I was searching frantically everywhere for a home remedy all day and almost gave up until I saw this video. THANK YOU. I was dying inside, I'm broke, my cat is suffering....I was afraid I'd come home to a dead cat. I'm going to run home immediately after work And give this to him. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
@@alexandrarodriguez4095 that is great that it worked! I would go to a monthly dose as a preventative. Just put some on his fur and let him lick it off.
I don’t usually comment but I HAD to say thank you after your information saved my little queen. After calling the vet hospitals in my area, who then directed me to call the humane society because I’m a college student and cannot afford to pay anything upfront, I was let down at the hs also, unless I surrender her. I was so afraid for her life because she wasn't peeing for almost two days. Found your video tg. I had to feed it to her in a 5ml syringe 1:1 water/acv twice an hour for almost four hours throughout the night. When she finally peed, I can’t even describe the relief and happiness I felt. I didn't care that she kindof hated me all the next day, she is saved!! Tysm for posting this! I could just hug you rn!
This saved my baby girl Mushu. She had been blocked for weeks. It’s a miracle she was able to survive all that time. I’m assuming since she’d been blocked for a long time that that’s the reason it took about 12hrs for this treatment to finally unblock all the crystallization. She’s back to her normal self now. Thank you!!
Excuse me, may I ask how many doses did you give your cat? Mine has been blocked for the past two days and he's so weak and slow right now. He doesn't eat nor drink. I gave him two doses of 5ml this morning and it's been 4hours since and nothing happens. I wonder if I should give him more or wait to see if the acv is gonna work? The vets in my country says he can die in the following 48hours and that hospitalization, catheter and etc is the ONLY solution for this case, or... Euthanasia. I don't ever want to do euthanasia, never, I'm not going to kill my cat. Please, answer if you can.
Seems like we found the right video at the right time! THANK YOU. Just ran to the store at 6am to get this for my kitty. As seen in the comments it helped a lot of people, so hopefully my kitty will be saved too!
@@annmariemayersky2944 it went great!! I went to my nearest pet store and bought some cranberry+turkey powder that I mix with his feed. And I gave him vinegar which he totally did not love. And slowly but pretty fast he got better!!! We had already been to the vet for this twice just for it to keep happening and spent so much money on visits. This saved me
Tried the acv, works wonders you just have to be consistent to observe if your pet has this symptoms in early stages. I noticed she has already peeing small amounts of urine mixed with blood and just peeing everywhere, she was also straining. Poor baby. So I did was to just mix coconut oil and acv full strength undiluted with ratio of 1:1 and admninster it to her via syringe at least 5 ml I administer it 3 times a day for 3 consecutive days followed with water because she isnt a fan of water .On the second day, the blood was gone and the third day she has more urine coming out and no blood at all and less frequent trips. I hope this will help!
Thank you so much for posting this! Our 9 year old cat had a blockage last week. The vet bill was over a thousand dollars. We got him home and 2 days later he was blocked again. It took about 4 -5 hours for the apple cider vinegar to work but he now has voided a good amount of urine.
Sorry, I just saw your message I would fill up a 5ml syringe with a half apple cider vinegar and water ratio. Squirt as much as possible into the cat’s mouth. Try giving the syringe every 2-4 hour until they void. Our cat hated the apple cider vinegar/ water syringe. He started trying to run away every time he saw me. My husband ended up buying ALFA PET kidney support for our cat. It’s a dropper and is available on Amazon. I think it was around 30 bucks. That worked terrific we just put it in his food and he would gobble it all up. He was on it for a couple of months but he doesn’t need it daily anymore, but we still have it on hand just in case.
Dude, I was so dang skeptical about this. I JUST got my cat back from a week at the vet and near death. He spent one day home and then all of a sudden blocked again. I can't afford another vet visit after the outrageous cost of the one not even 2 days ago. Followed your advice and within 15 minutes he peed twice....the second time a huge weird glob came out. I have NO IDEA what it could be. Called his vet to email photos but he seems way better. He's on antibiotics right now but it was because of this he was able to push it out. Thank you thank you thank you. Rachel and Vashy-ass
@@FarmDad indeed it did thank you. And this time I did take her to the vet and he said that she only had a UTI that was making her think she had to urinate even when she didn’t. So ha gave her an antibiotic injection and had me put her on renal prescription food. I also gave her a cranberry blend I got at pet supermarket. All that fixed her up thank God.
I sincerely want to thank you my cat has been struggling to go P and hasn’t Peed all day. We already took him to the vet and got him medication and even with the medication he still not has went to the bathroom today I came up on your video and I’m just so grateful I had to give him 2 mL of it. He drank a lot of water after that and then he went P may not have been a lot but it’s enough
Thank you. I credit you with the reason my fur baby is still alive. It was tough he didn’t like it but it worked and he’s back to his old self. I can’t thank you enough.
My cat almost died from a blocked bladder when he was only 9 months. Since then he’s had them on and off, always had to go to the vet for it. I noticed it yesterday, no pee at all when he was in the box. I gave him some cbd hoping to relax him and help him go, then found this video. I gave him a couple ml of apple cider, and some extra water in his food. Assumed he would have to go to the vet today. Woke up this morning and he peed like a faucet was on! This just saved us.
THANK YOU for making this video!!! It saved my grandcat's life! My son had spent over $1K to get him cleared - he couldn't urinate at all. Trying this was a last ditch effort to save his life. They gave him 5 ml over a 2 hour period, and he was able to pee again within 5 hours! It's been 2 days since they first dosed him with ACV, and he's seemingly mostly back to being himself - eating, drinking, peeing. Thank you, again!
@@anjaliahari1864 I am not sure. My son gave it to his cat undiluted, and he was okay. But it did take him a little bit to start eating and drinking normally again (he had not been doing much of either prior to them giving him the ACV, because he was in such distress from the blockage). I'm sorry about your kitty.😓
Thank you! I was at the hospital a week ago with my cat with a partial blockage and they gave him pain meds and suggested a catheter and stay for $2k. We took him home but it got worse. This gave him relief in a few hours and saved him from being put down
I was definitely skeptical that this would work but last night around midnight my cat started showing signs of not being able to pee, and sure enough his bladder felt hard as a rock. This happened once before and it resulted in an $800 vet bill and that wasn’t even at a 24 hour emergency clinic. Since I knew the bill would be crazy if I took him to the vet in the middle of the night, and he didn’t seem to be in pain, I decided to try giving him some apple cider vinegar with a syringe (about 5ml) and that I would take him to the vet in the morning if it didn’t work. Well, I woke up early and checked on him this morning and it worked! He peed all over the place, but fortunately he contained it all to my bathroom. Thanks so much for this advice. I will still take him to the vet, but at least it’s no longer an emergency and most importantly he’s not uncomfortable anymore. Disclaimer: I do think that we caught it relatively early this time, and if your cat is howling in pain I would still take them straight to the vet. But if you notice that they’re having trouble peeing and they don’t seem to react negatively to you picking them up or prodding around their bladder, definitely give ACV a shot! It saved my little dude a lot of pain and me a lot money and heartache. Thanks again for making this video!
My cat is currently going through this and is howling in pain but I live pretty far from town and the roads are all ices over and I’m not sure I can get him to a vet. I’ll have to see if we have an ACV just in case.
We want to sincerely thank you and your wife for posting this video. You saved my cats life and me a ton of money! Another thing that I found out to keep the crystals at bay is to give them six drops of liquid vitamin C daily in a little bit of wet canned food
I just want to say thank you because you literally helped save my cats life! This past weekend I noticed my boy Kyu was struggling to pee and poop. He kept constantly going to the bathroom with little to no result his pee also was starting to turn orange red. I found your video and immediately went into action. I used the ACV , alkaline water , organic cranberry juice along with the Homeo pet and on the 3rd day he peed so much and pooped! It was a stressful 3 days but now he’s back to normal! I also researched and purchased a product called Tinkle Tonic which INSTANTLY made my cat pee. He’s now on wet food living life like it’s golden ☀️
Hi there, my cat is experiencing something similar to your Kyu so thank you for sharing! May I ask what the brand of tinkle tonic is that you’re using? I’m seeing one by Natura Petz Organics that is a powder and one by Animal Essentials that is a liquid tincture. Not sure which one to get, and would appreciate your input 🙏
@@pmo873 Oh no I hope your kitty feels better. The one I got is by animal essentials. Also cranberry pills with the D mannose is a great to mix in with their food. So far my Kyu is doing great! I hope this helps ❤️
Love from Kashmir. You saved my Cat "jerry ", he had urine blockage before too, vet put a catheter inside him, was in so much pain and frustration, happened again today. Found your video and i don't know how to thank you, he wasn't peeing and now he flooded the litter box . Thanks alot man!!!❤️
I've already left a comment but that was when I was asking for help so this one will be a thank you. My cat mondo started growling and hissing after using the bathroom with very little pee coming out, then after a while he wasn't able to pee at all which is an emergency. It was the weekend so no vets were open and we didn't have the money anyway. We panicked and started looking up ways we could help him at home. We rushed to the pet store to pick up the homeopet uti meds but even after a few days he still couldn't pee properly (this was before his pee stopped completely) but when he couldn't pee at all we needed to hurry so we tried this. I left a comment asking how much to give him and you got back right away so we were able to save him thank you! We gave him 2.5ml acv and 2.5ml water just like you said. after a few hours he peed again. I fell to the floor and started crying in relief we had been pacing the floor for 5 hours researching till he finally went. He has super sharp nails and will not let us cut them and get violent when you try to give him meds but we used a jean jacket (I find it works best because it's not stretchy like blankets or towels) and we got it down. Now he's on collidal silver (we got ours from Kroger) 10ml twice a day (that's 2teaspoons- NOT tablespoons) for his uti and it's working. We will only give him more acv if he is completely unable to pee again because it's not good for them to have to much but collidal silver doesn't hurt them in any way (it's very hard to overdose them on it but still don't give a ton of collidal silver) he's only 2 years old and we love him to death my dad would never recover if he had passed so we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. With such a simple video you have saved many cats that we all consider our own family ❤️
Thank you for this video. I have a male cat who was struggling to pass urine, just a few drops, he was crying while straining to pee, and was doing this all around the house (outside of his litterbox). He has a history of blockages from crystals, and I could see that he was showing signs of being on his way to a full on blockage, which we know, is an emergency. The emergency clinic is a 2 hour drive (I live out in the country) and the last time I went there, I paid around $1,500 to unblock him. So, I had some ACV on hand, and I tried it. I administered it 3 times during the night, and again in the morning. Pure and undiluted. He didn't like it, but guess what? The pee started flowing... he's urinated twice now, in his litterbox, large amounts. Crisis diverted! It's like a miracle. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing. I also live out in the country, two hours from the nearest emergency room vet clinic, and my local vet clinic wouldn't touch this. They told me they could make an appointment in two weeks. (time to find another vet!) Just gave my loving boy two good shots of ACV down the hatch and gonna pray he pulls through the night. I've already lost three males to this issue and I don't want to lose another.
@@blackcattrucking4907 I hope he pulls through. Be sure to read the pinned comment as it has some good preventative tips that may help your boy if he passes the blockage.
@@blackcattrucking4907 I'm sorry to hear about your predicament, I know how you feel, and I hope this treatment helps him pee! Let us know how everything goes.
Thank you for this timely video and thank you to all of the folks who commented! My precious boy cat was struggling to empty his bladder yesterday. I am a low-income person and absolutely cannot take my sweet boy to the animal er again. I just did the acv method and I also administered some pet homeopathic drops. He did pee a tiny bit last night and again this morning, but not the usual amount. I am blessed to be off work today, so I can keep an eye on him. I am exceedingly grateful for this community of kind cat people, may God heal all the pets and comfort each and every one of us. 🙏
my cat has been in the hospital 5 times over a month and is declining and not improving despite meds, Catheters, wet food, no dust potty box etc. i saw your video. I believe you saved Sarge. I've been giving him the 5mm of Bragg Apple cider vinegar every few hours. he is not 100% but he played with the dogs for the first time in a while. Thank you for your video.
My cat is currently at the vet after having the procedure with the catheter. He has blocked twice since being there and was basically told he wasn’t going to make it. Tomorrow I am going to pick him up and give this a try. Really hope it works and safes his life
@@FarmDad HI! I have spent over $ 300 for Convenia Antibiotic and Prednisolone Steroid. My female cat is 12 years old and has been in perfect health up until 4 days ago with a UTI. I was wondering if it was safe to try the Apple cider viniger if she's had the Convenia Antibiotic injection. Please let me know, I simply cannot afford another Vet Visit. She's still not peeing after the Antibiotic and steroid. I really want to try the Apple cider viniger!! Thank you! ❤️
Noticed our 20-year-old female tabby has another urine infection/bladder infection. She is back to trying to wee in every corner of the house, and what little comes out is bloody. She is also showing signs of distress. Am going to try the apple cider vinegar soon and let you all know how it goes :) Many thanks for this video too, very helpful. Update: Gave my cat 5mil of ACV, waited an hour, and gave her 5 more in some tuna (which she gobbled up) several hours later she went to potty in the garden without issue or any blood. I do think she has a stomach upset though, due to how she is positioning herself, will keep an eye on the situation.
@@FarmDad Polly our 21 year old is a bran new cat since giving her the acv. She is toileting properly, happy, purring all the time, eating like a champ lol oh and has plenty of catitude. Thanks again
Thanks mate, deffs helped my cat. Just paid a grand the other week the for my fella at the vet, tried this tonight as he was blocked up all day and within an hour he had 7ml 50-50 water apple cider through syringe and got a dribble happening
Thank you for saving my cat's life, farm dad. i stumbled upon this video at the most perfect time. I owe you my cat's second chance at life. And mine too. Now he just has to fully recover so we can spend the Christmas together. Thank you!
found out my cat has kidney disease, probably caused by his uti. he won't eat anything now and just drinks water, but just today he refused to even drink and i just somehow forced him to. still, thank you this is such a great help for owners not knowing what to do. i still hope for the best. Keep helping and Merry Christmas.
I just want to say thank you so much. I was afraid of the prices at the vet and my cat's belly was getting bigger and bigger. Only 2 doses of apple cider vinegar and he was fine. Thank you so much again!
Daily update on oreo’s condition. Day 1: Saw her trying to pee in the bathroom but nothing coming out, immediately i started my research on whatever it is, found out it’s UTI, searched for home treatment if possible because vets in our city suck, found this video, started giving her acv in small amounts 2-3ml, she was still straining, no progress. Day 2: Gave her acv again in small amount 2-3ml , one time in a day, because i was scared smthg would happen if i gave her alot of it. Day 3: Still no progress so i gave her 5ml 2-3 times in a day, noticed small amount of urine instead of 2-3 drops that were mostly bloody. Day 4: Gave her acv 5ml 3 times with syringe and mixed some in her jelly food, noticed that every-time i gave her the acv her urine was coming out more and more each time with less frequent visits to the bathroom and less licking of her private areas. She is very active, playful and eating alright.
You are a hero to us! The apple cider plus a blabber and urethra message saved my cat in 1 hour. We can't afford to spend the $3800 we were quoted at the emergency clinic.
I can't thank you enough for this video. My 2 year old Tuxedo cat Finn has been blocked 2 times prior to this costing me 1200 both times. My husband almost left me for spending this to save my cats life. He's blocked again and i was afraid i would have to put him to sleep. I tried this and he peed like a river in an hour. THANK YOU!
I am so happy I saved your marriage!!! Lol. Seriously though, I'm glad your cat is feeling better. Check out the pinned comment for some good preventative advice.
My boy cat Oakley was suffering from blockage. Took him to the vet, spent $560 and was told he was healthy. Two days into antibiotics he still wouldn’t pee. I tried the acv and within 48 hrs I picked him up in the morning and he peed all over me 😂 he has now peed 3 times so far today so I gotta say this did the trick. He also ate some food today. I will keep monitoring him but I just want to say thank you for this video!
It did help. It gave me confidence that I could at least try it on my one. So thank you, truly. I always freak out like it's the end of the world, you gave me some piece of mind.
Here is some additional information for you that has helped me: Rub Organic raw unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar with "the Mother" on their fur (cat's sides) or the top of their paws. They will lick it off. Use at least two tablespoons in a day or if necessary a few days in an emergency for cats. For very young cats reduce that amount to one tablespoon. For kittens use only a teaspoon. Rub the organic apple cider vinegar on each side of their fur or the top of their paws until you see them have relief. Remember to shake the bottle first. If you have a wild cat that doesn’t take orders, then douse him with a good bit in a small glass. A lot will bead of his fur. Also, they will not be able to lick off the entirety of it all at once. Organic apple cider vinegar will start to go into immediate action for the cat to get relief from the blockage. It saved my cat that was pissing blood and then could not pee while squatting all the time. Also, it helps get rid of UTI bacteria; Walmart sells it. Ideally, it is best to use organic apple cider vinegar because it tastes rather good and is much more tolerable for the cat to ingest it compared to the filtered kind which tastes horrible. Remember only to use the organic apple cider vinegar as necessary. Too much too often could lead to an ulcer. From my experience a couple tablespoons a week has not hurt my cat. If it is a real emergency you could go beyond that just do not let it come to a habit of more than that each week. Keep in mind; you will likely have reoccurring bouts with this for a while. That is why I recommend some other preventative measures as you read on below: Keep in mind that it is important to ensure cats, when feeling normal, get enough water to keep their system flowing. Ensure they eat wet cat food over dry for the moisture content, Consider temporarily stopping the cat from eating dry food or even permanently if necessary. Too much dry food leads to blockages with lack of hydration compared to canned cat food. Try putting some added bit of water in their wet food. Avoid salty meats if they are having this problem. Salty meats or salty canned food meats like tuna will stop up your cat for sure! If you use clay litter make sure you use the unscented. Scented can irritate their pee track with synthetic chemicals leading to inflammation and UTI blockages. Never use clumping litter for cats; it can lead to blockages because cats can ingest it much easier. That can cause ingestion of sludge and bacteria leading to inflammation and UTI’s. Clumping litter is known to be extremely dangerous for kittens and not good for cats in general. Buy only fragrant free non-clumping litter, and then add one heaping tablespoon of baking soda mixed in per 10 pounds of cat litter that you use. It will naturally neutralize the smell; Just do not go beyond that because baking soda is really high in salt which is dangerous for cats if they ingest it more than a tiny amount by licking their paws each time using the litter box. I have used it for my cat and it works well, he actually prefers this litter combination. Baking soda is known to help aid and help get rid of UTI’s. Never give it to your cat other than in the litter! Additionally, use feline pine litter and add it to your litter with several handfuls to add a nice fragrant smell. A little goes a long way to just supplement the litter. Also, consider buying "cranimals" from amazon. It is a cranberry extract that helps the kidneys and gets rid of UTI problems. Put 1/4 teaspoon in two small cans of wet cat food or equivalent to that with one big can. You can also wash out an old salt and peppershaker to sprinkle a decent amount in their food. Any amount more than that I have noticed they will not eat it. Putting cranimals cranberry powder in their food will help keep their pee acidic to break down crystals. Additionally, "Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth" helps assist in UTI treatment sold on Amazon. It is a "diuretic" thus helps people and animals urinate 30% more to empty the bladder to keep crystals from forming. Completely safe for cats with no limitations of consumption and has no salt in it. Cats tolerate it because it has almost no taste. Just be careful not to breathe it in by getting it dusted up in the air because it is dangerous to breathe it in. Make sure to only use "Food Grade."Use at least about 1/4 teaspoon per small can wet cat food. Lastly, I have learned of a brand called "tinkle tonic" from chewy or amazon that some claim helped their cats. Finally, consider your cat’s stress level. Stress could be another factor that can lead to inflammation of the bladder area. Try to ensure he has enough to do to keep happy.

just wanna come back here and say that im so thankful i found this when i needed it the most! the other day my cat couldn’t pee (for almost 24hrs).after i saw this vid, i lit went out to search for acv even tho it was alrdy so late in the night (a reminder to myself to always have a stock of home remedies) our small town doesn’t have it but, i found a mart in the neighbouring town that’s selling acv. anw, i put acv in my cat’s wet food, then i also made him drink fr a syringe (1:1 water and acv). i fed and made him drink around 12 midnight and then around 5am he finally peed! then he peed again at 7 and 10am. i still contacted the vet and they advised me to observe him and make him drink more water. rn, he’s doing well. i decided to feed him more wet and homemade cat foods fr now on. thank u so much! this vids really a life saver
Thank you so much!!!!! My cat had been blocked two weeks ago, took him to the vet, and they did catheterisation and yet again he got blocked and drs were closed, i came across your video and i gave him the same dosage u gave your cat, my cats peeing in drops now better than nothing!!
THANK you for this video - we don't live anywhere near a vet and you just saved my cats life...He was passing a teeny bit of urine but this worked really well, and I have added some chamomile tea to his food for moisture, as well as giving the Fancy Feast that you have recommended.
I just tried it 2hrs ago in the middle of the night. My cat is purring like crazy now like his mood suddenly went up! I hope i no longer need to take him to vet later. Thanks! I hope he continues to feel better.
Dude! This saved my cats life. I am absolutely blown away! Our cat almost died, and the vet wanted over 3K$ which is insanity. The vet gave him less than a day to live, pushing us to pay for him to be put down if we couldn’t pay the 3-4K, but I found this video after frantically scouring the net for other options. He hates the stuff, but after a few days of giving him small doses (2ml 2x a day for 2 days so far) he is peeing and starting to play. THANK YOU!!!
@@FarmDad yup, I did 50/50… I didn’t use organic braggs, just plain clear stuff diluted. Shoulda mentioned that part.. Just to report back, our cat is 100% back to normal now… we are feeding him more wet food and cranberry powder treats.
Thank you for this. I used a straw instead of a syringe and it was a straight shot (didnt have a syringe). He was very unhappy with me, but I'm glad we have a start somewhere. Like most, I cannot afford 3k for treatment. I mixed dry urinary tract food with wet food and water on a plate for him, he is at least eating/drinking the mixture (he wasnt eating before). Fingers crossed 🤞. Thank you thank you thank you 🙏.
I wish to know about apple vinegar earlier. The second time my cat had urinary blockage. The biggest stress for me is seeing the bills. Thank you so much for sharing your experience.
Glad I searched for this! My cat is going through this as we speak. Poor little guy. I’m going to try all this remedies right now. Thank you for video!

Turned to pink that first day ans second n now third white bit I'm onky seeing drips last night a few at a riem maybe one sometimes rrg trying to pee Still but I'm not sire I see even a drop today no sure . But as I said I didn't do in month I did in food I thought tahat what yas meant. Nw I've doen orally. So pay pray pray
His battery feels full sorta so..he's eating to eat but not with any acv in it . I added water etc my other cat scarfs it down he's a pig will at anything lol ahhhhhh
I'm praying with all my heart that this will help my dear Suka. She's only about 9 months old. I took her to the vet early and expressed my concerns. They took her temp, told me it was really high, charged me $60, and sent me home. Days go by it's getting worse. Call the vet. Sorry we don't have any open times available. I'm like my cats going to die. They don't care. Now it's worse. I can't afford a vet emergency room trip or anything and I also couldn't bare to lose her. She's my family and she's the sweetest kitty ever. I hope and pray to hear her meows for many years to come. I'll follow up with the results. We welcome all your positive thoughts.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video! My cat couldn't even pee one single drop this morning so I rushed him to the vet. They did some blood work, urine sample, and x-ray on him (total added up to about $900 because California is expensive). Fortunately, he wasn't in any life threatening situation, but the tip of his private part was still blocked. The animal hospital wanted to give him catheter and overnight stays at the hospital, which would have added another $1700. Thankfully I came across your video when I was waiting for his results, so I told the hospital I would take him home first. I immediately gave him about 5ml of organic apple cider vinegar when I got home (I put it on his paws, back, and tails so he licked them off naturally), and 5 minutes later he peed!!! He then peed again a bit more afterwards. He even started to drink water from his little fountain. I cannot thank you enough for creating this video to share this information. My husband said he wished I would have given the apple cider vinegar to my cat without spending the $900 on blood work and examination, but I know it's better to be on the safe side and run some tests to make sure my cat was not in any sort of extreme condition (also I didn't find your video until I already took him to the vet). We avoided spending another $1700 thanks to you! God bless you for sharing this information 🙏
@@FarmDad Quick update: I ended up having to take my cat to his regular vet for a catheter, but it was not as expensive as the ER on Sunday that wanted to charge $1700. The apple cider vinegar did help him for a few days, and of course I am doing more research on cat food to make sure him and his brothers won't have the same problem in the future. Thank you again for sharing this information, I'm definitely recommending your video to any cat owner I know who needs to know about this remedy!
@@edgardovalerio6256 Thank you, he's doing better after the catheter. I'm keeping an eye on him every time he uses the litter box, making sure he is peeing normally.
We ended up with a nearly 5k vet bill from an emergency visit for this. It was a sunday so regular vets were closed. I'm worried it might be starting again, and today is friday... might have to try this.
Thank you for making this video. My cat was acting off this past Saturday and I ignored it thinking he's just being silly. Sunday morning he was running around my house, with increased vocalization, and trying to urinate in inappropriate areas (outside of his litter box). I knew something was wrong. I took him to an ER vet and fortunately they said he wasn't blocked, but he could be later on. They gave sent us home with a few meds and a $400 vet bill. I'm planning to change him to a half wet/half dry diet now, but was wondering if you think apple cider vinegar is okay to include in his food? And if so, how much and how often? I'd seen online someone suggest cranberry powder as a daily supplement, but feel like ACV is a stronger solution
I used same method, added very little water and the rest apple cider . Within a few minutes my cat went to the litter and it was like an explosion! :O Just within minutes, I don't know how it was so fast and effective. I'll keep monitoring her and see if any other changes. For now, she seems to be doing better, and she's finally resting a little.
Thank you Farm Dad! You’re truly a lifesaver. I have had my baby boy Loki (marble bengal) on the verge the D word for going on 5 weeks. We paid crazy emergency vet bills with money we didn’t have, we were told he had a blood clot in his penis, there was no blockage or crystals but they just cleared out the clot with a catheter and doped him up and sent him home. With pain pills and muscle relaxer, for two weeks. He wasn’t really responsive and worried he wouldn’t make. I called every vet in the valley to find a retired vet that asked to him home to help me. He finally put Loki on antibiotics and anti inflammatory pills. I have had to give him this for 3 weeks which helped but he can’t live on antibiotics so now that I’ve stopped him he went down hill quick. Two days…came home tonight and he was swollen and not peeing again. So I tried your method and it’s starting to work! Thank god, thank you! It’s really hard to get it in him, he fights so hard. The first round I think I got more down, second round got maybe 2-3 ml out of 5ml. He is pretty hip to my methods of giving it to him with syringe. How can I mask it without him smelling the vinegar? Bengals are sooooo picky! Again! Thank you so much!
Now that you have a couple good doses in him, I would just put it on his fur for him to lick off if he needs more. I hope he continues to improve. He sounds like a tough case. Keep him hydrated. Good luck.
@@FarmDad how do you make a car drink water. I mean he drinks just probably not enough. I bought a fountain and he won’t use it. He loves to drink out of my cups so I have a tall cup full of fresh water daily that he drinks. He just is peeing like normal, poor little man! He had been running around more today so maybe we are on to something
Just wanted to echo what a lot of other people have said. My male cat was blocked on a couple of different occasions. Vet bills were really adding up. Last time I took him in he had to stay overnight $$$$$. A few days after I brought him home he was having issues again despite the medication he was prescribed. This acv method is a godsend! I use equal parts organic acv and water and use the syringe to administer. Works every time, usually within an hour with one full syringe. I think the key is not to wait too long. Clean your litter box often, so you’ll notice if it hasn’t been used and if you notice your cat straining to urinate try this method.
Thanks for the info. We just spent 1,500 for an emergency visit with our cat. I drink 1 tablespoon of organic cider vinegar with in a glass of water alternating with lemon juice every day. Didn’t know cider vinegar was safe for cats. Will start using it on our cat. I grew up on a farm in the 60’s, happy to see young people farming!👍🏻
Rub Organic raw unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar with "the Mother" on their fur (cat's sides) or the top of their paws. They will lick it off. Use at least two tablespoons in a day or if necessary a few days in an emergency for cats. For very young cats reduce that amount to one tablespoon. For kittens use only a teaspoon. Rub the organic apple cider vinegar on each side of their fur or the top of their paws until you see them have relief. Remember to shake the bottle first. If you have a wild cat that doesn’t take orders, then douse him with a good bit in a small glass. A lot will bead of his fur. Also, they will not be able to lick off the entirety of it all at once. Organic apple cider vinegar will start to go into immediate action for the cat to get relief from the blockage. It saved my cat that was pissing blood and then could not pee while squatting all the time. Also, it helps get rid of UTI bacteria; Walmart sells it. Ideally, it is best to use organic apple cider vinegar because it tastes rather good and is much more tolerable for the cat to ingest it compared to the filtered kind which tastes horrible. Remember only to use the organic apple cider vinegar as necessary. Too much too often could lead to an ulcer. From my experience a couple tablespoons a week has not hurt my cat. If it is a real emergency you could go beyond that just do not let it come to a habit of more than that each week. Keep in mind; you will likely have reoccurring bouts with this for a while. That is why I recommend some other preventative measures as you read on below: Keep in mind that it is important to ensure cats, when feeling normal, get enough water to keep their system flowing. Ensure they eat wet cat food over dry for the moisture content, Consider temporarily stopping the cat from eating dry food or even permanently if necessary. Too much dry food leads to blockages with lack of hydration compared to canned cat food. Try putting some added bit of water in their wet food. Avoid salty meats if they are having this problem. Salty meats or salty canned food meats like tuna will stop up your cat for sure! If you use clay litter make sure you use the unscented. Scented can irritate their pee track with synthetic chemicals leading to inflammation and UTI blockages. Never use clumping litter for cats; it can lead to blockages because cats can ingest it much easier. That can cause ingestion of sludge and bacteria leading to inflammation and UTI’s. Clumping litter is known to be extremely dangerous for kittens and not good for cats in general. Buy only fragrant free non-clumping litter, and then add one heaping tablespoon of baking soda mixed in per 10 pounds of cat litter that you use. It will naturally neutralize the smell; Just do not go beyond that because baking soda is really high in salt which is dangerous for cats if they ingest it more than a tiny amount by licking their paws each time using the litter box. I have used it for my cat and it works well, he actually prefers this litter combination. Baking soda is known to help aid and help get rid of UTI’s. Never give it to your cat other than in the litter! Additionally, use feline pine litter and add it to your litter with several handfuls to add a nice fragrant smell. A little goes a long way to just supplement the litter. Also, consider buying "cranimals" from amazon. It is a cranberry extract that helps the kidneys and gets rid of UTI problems. Put 1/4 teaspoon in two small cans of wet cat food or equivalent to that with one big can. You can also wash out an old salt and peppershaker to sprinkle a decent amount in their food. Any amount more than that I have noticed they will not eat it. Putting cranimals cranberry powder in their food will help keep their pee acidic to break down crystals. Additionally, "Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth" helps assist in UTI treatment sold on Amazon. It is a "diuretic" thus helps people and animals urinate 30% more to empty the bladder to keep crystals from forming. Completely safe for cats with no limitations of consumption and has no salt in it. Cats tolerate it because it has almost no taste. Just be careful not to breathe it in by getting it dusted up in the air because it is dangerous to breathe it in. Make sure to only use "Food Grade."Use at least about 1/4 teaspoon per small can wet cat food. Lastly, I have learned of a brand called "tinkle tonic" from chewy or amazon that some claim helped their cats. Finally, consider your cat’s stress level. Stress could be another factor that can lead to inflammation of the bladder area. Try to ensure he has enough to do to keep happy.

@@Binoculars-ot6xu Wow, thanks for all the great info!! I use mostly natural organic foods with no chemicals and didn’t know our pets could take them. I will use all these suggestions for our cat. I know he will have a longer life. Thanks again!!👍🏻
@@Binoculars-ot6xu what is "the mother"? A product? My cat has regular unexplained UTI'S and I'm trying the diluted ACV for now. My vet keeps trying to change her food (more than once) but they get $$$ from those companies like Royal Canine, etc. I am paying down my cc from the last recent, expensive visit. Help please!😢😢
FYI… 1/2 teaspoon of honey and 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, mix well per 10 lbs, twice a day. If they tolerate that, it can be adjusted up to closer to a teaspoon of both twice a day.
My little black cat, Kat-boy had a complete blockage and was wailing when I picked him up last Thursday. I had noticed him straining to pee a couple of days before. We rushed him to the Vet, where they placed a urethral catheter in him to unblock and drain his bladder… and had 2 IVs on his arms-one for fluids and the other for-antibiotic I think. The bill was $1,400+ already and each additional overnight stay would be another $90. Well, with 15 other rescue cats at home, we couldn’t afford that and brought him home-seeing as the blockage was cleared. They told us he could “re-block”… but we took the chance and took him home. They supposedly gave him an antibiotic shot good for 2 weeks, while waiting for his urinalysis and urine culture to come back. In the meantime, he was prescribed Hills Diet UT Care dry food (which he will not eat-very expensive! $50 for an 8lb bag!) and their wet canned purée food, which he likes. When we brought him home, he was peeing like a siv… and I noticed it was frothy and very clear, no smell. The labs came back (after having to bring him in again, because they lost his first urine sample)… and they said 25-50 rod-shaped bacteria were present-most likely e.coli… and they need to put him on a stronger antibiotic because the shot wasn’t doing it’s job and now he has a UTI. I was just about to give the first dose-Zeniquin 25 mg-but it’s in pill form, so while I was dissolving it in a spoonful of warm water to mix in a chicken purée treat, I was researching Zeniquin on “Dr Google”. I came across some disturbing info: “may cause temporary or permanent blindness in CATS, so administer with caution”… ??? “May cause diarrhea, vomiting, lack of appetite, lethargy”… that’s disturbing-I tossed out the medicine. My friend, who also has a lot of cats (15), suggested for me to research home remedies for cats with UTI and drugs ending in “-quin”… This video is the first I saw that popped up when searching for “home remedy cat UTI”… I knew that raw-unfiltered vinegar had medicinal properties for us humans and I actually have a bottle of Bragg Organic, but when I read comments of the people on here whose cats were saved with this-I’m thinking, wow-that $1400+ Vet bill probably could have been better used for food, kitty litter, etc… if I had seen this video prior to going to the Vet, which is 45 mins away!! While waiting for the labs to come back (3-5 days), I asked the Vet if I could get an OTC supplement that would help with the UTI while waiting-I’m thinking, something with cranberry-like I was told to drink if ever I got a UTI. I found a powder, called Solid Gold Berry Balance at Petsmart-it “promotes optimal urinary tract health and function”… I’ve been giving 1/8 tsp twice a day as instructed-I mix it with the chicken purée treat he loves so much and he has been peeing good-not frothy-not taking over 3 mins to finish peeing… so in my mind, this is working for him! In retrospect, I was wondering why the Vet didn’t want to give him a urinalysis to see if the UTI cleared (from being on this cranberry powder supplement for 5 days through Christmas)… before prescribing this harsh Zeniquin-that he’s supposed to take for 14 days!! I’m not going to give it to him-they had me at “blindness”… and even “possible seizures”… I’m going to purchase an OTC alkalinity test kit to check Kat-boy’s urine’s pH… Any additional advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for posting this video. I will definitely try it if ever Kat-boy gets blocked again… Blessings to you and your fur babies, Farm Dad!
I think my cat is going through this rn. He seems to be struggling to urinate. We had just got him unblocked about a few weeks ago. Gonna try this and hope all goes well. Last time he got this he didn't do so well. He is only 2 years old... I don't wanna have to say goodbye yet. I'll give a update on him later. Update: he took the cider this morning and today around 4 pm it was like the flood gates just broke. He peed everywhere! I'm glad he all relieved but rn he is just uncontrollably peeing everywhere. I think he'll be with us a bit longer ☺️
Omg you give me hope … my Marley is lethargic and really ill as of yesterday he won’t eat or drink but I got a good amount of the acv in him … just watching and waiting … I haven’t slept
@@rachoneill7904 I hope Marley pulls through! My cat made me upset the first time. If your cats starts to not move much at all and seems to be almost sleepy then You must get him to a vet immediately. My scout the first time ended up like that. (Some vets do emergency funds if you can't pay. They wanna help you not rob you)
instead of straight vinegar, mix or at the back of syringe put cod liver oil to coat the esophagus and protect from too much acidic reaction. A lot of studies show very low rates of UTIs with these symptoms. Most are stones...and the vinegar yes! GREAT idea.:) Thanks
I have a paralyzed kitty and I believe he is blocked however I have no money for vet . He isn't showing signs of discomfort but bladder is hard and isn't peeing I can't go to a vet they have all said no to payment plans so this video is all I got !!!! I'm going to give this a shot thank you for sharing this I'll keep you posted
Thank you for this helpful video. New diagnosis for my Theo and even though we’ve been to the vet his episodes are always in the middle of the night. I was getting ready to put him in the carrier to drive 30 min to the hospital (which would have made him way worse due to stress), but he started peeing. Next time this happens, I know I have more options which is a prayer answered!
Thank you for making this video!!! I gave my baby MoMoMonroe some apple cider vinegar just like you did in the first part of the video! She knew we were helping her 😻 She had a pee clump biggest I’ve seen in 2 days! It was the size of a gum-ball after the treatment! ❤
Over my cat's eight years of life i've spent around six thousand dollars on vet bills to treat my cat's urinary problems. I can no longer afford this in any capacity, and it is a blessing to see something trying to help without simply shaming us into feeling guilty for being unable to afford such a vet bill. I just tried the syringe-feeding method of apple cider vinegar as you'd demonstrated in this video, and within two minutes my cat vomited up the wet food dinner we'd just given him moments before. I'm going to try the method(s) I'd just read in "2020 Binoculars" comment, but I really hope my boy turns out alright.
Just an update: It's been 10 days since I took the video's advice and my cat's health is fully up to scratch. I would encourage anyone to disseminate this info to their cat loving relations and to show their appreciation to @FarmDad for saving both cats lives and for saving their owners a ton of money. Bravo FarmDad, Bravo.!
My beloved young male cat was afflicted with a stress induced acute UTI on Sunday. Thank God I found your video. I gave him 5 ml acv diluted 1:1 twice within a few hours....and finally he peed a little while in pain, but then a lot. He peed all over my couch. He could pee all over the couch, the carpet, the whole house, I don't care. Just to see him relieved and happy and knowing he's going to make it...and I am so thankful to you for making this video and saving my cat! Also thank you to the people who wrote it in with their stories to give me hope. He was still straining for the next 12 hours or so, little trickles again, but I continued to administer the ACV dose twice daily, along with unsweetened cranberry, a couple drops of echinacea tincture and a couple drops of vervain tincture. I just fed him some homemade chicken broth with a tiny pinch of turmeric powder for inflammation (plus giving him the homeopathic UTI drop 3x daily. He's napping in front of a sunny window and listening to Debussy.
@@TeleeFONE Yes...after living through the whole experience and have now come out the other side with a very healthy cat, I would do this again if I had absolutely no alternative. It did hurt my cat's throat and digestion to have to ingest that vinegar mixture and you should really try to get someone to hold him so that you can inject it into his mouth as slowly as possible. Too fast and he can aspirate (breath in the solution) BUT it broke up my male cat's blockage within a few hours and I administered it once more the next day. Then began the journey into other holistic treatments. I recommend these 3 medicines: UTI Warrior by Nature Petz. A game changer. It was the last remedy I used after successive relapses over the next few weeks and it cleared up his condition completely (I followed the directions and gave it to him for 3 months). It literally dissolved all the debris in his urinary tract. (and hydrated his food a bit more) Plus, Tinkle Tonic by Animal Essentials. Excellent for healing the UT and helping with getting the flow going. Also, Uro-Cleanse by Vitality Science, plus a pro-biotic also helped greatly in improving the root causes of the problem. Also, I changed some bad habits and re-adjusted his raw diet which I was making at home. (I recommend Paws of Prey as the best guide for homemade raw but follow the guides very strictly) OR you can I had taken him to a vet who wanted me to put him on a special canned diet and who was also hostile about the natural treatments. I wonder why? $$$$ This was in March. Now its nearly August. My cat is in perfect health. I give him a daily maintenence dose of URO-CLeanse once a day plus pro-biotics and one capsule of Real Mushrooms Cordyceps mushrooms for Cats and Dogs. If you don't feed raw but want to, this will really make a difference in the long term. Vive Raw is the best commercial raw food formula. Wishing your cat the best. This video saved my cat's life.
My beautiful 2 year old boy, T'Challa (yes I am a big "Black Panther" fan) started peeing everywhere but his litter box a few days ago. I didn't realize that was a red flag. Today, he stopped producing urine all together. My heart would break watching him as he would squat for several minutes trying to pee with no urine at all coming out. I called every ER in my area, but unless I had a credit card, cash for the full bill or "pet credit" no one would see him. My husband found this video and we gave T'Challa 5ml of undiluted ACV. Within an hour and a half I noticed a quarter-sized puddle of pink pee and a long white "plug" along with it. Within 3 hours T'Challa was peeing more. We will be giving him another dose but will dilute the ACV with water this time. THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY FUR BABY'S LIFE.
Hey Farm dad.. you saved yet another cat today. Our male cat had racked up $7000 of bills this year due to urinary problems. We took the cat off his special diet for just a few days and the urinary problems got critically bad FAST. We were at our wit's end and the end of our money supply due to this cat and would have probably ended up putting him down. I dipped the cat's paws in ACV a few times and he licked it off. We waited an hour, and nothing.. so we went to the vet wondering if this was a life or death situation. Well, he peed in the carrier on the way there! I need a new car seat, but the cat lived. Let me give you a tip about 'cat water'. We live in Utah and the PH of our city water is 8 due to it being 'hard', which is rather alkaline - enough to leave a permanent rim of minerals around the cat dish. I got some PH test strips and found that both distilled water and filtered water ( coming out of our 'zero water' filter ) were both ~PH 6.7, so a tiny bit more acidic than usual. The cats no longer drink unfiltered city water.
So glad he is better. That is good info about the water. We are on a well and the water is very hard. Our cat had never had any urinary issues before we moved here, so I think you are onto something.
@@FarmDad I've read many things about cats not hydrating well and needing to have a more 'acid' environment in their digestive system than we do. it sort of makes sense why ACV works so well, but my question is how can it work so fast! We did have him on a diet that helped him manage. Some expensive perscription stuff. It was different than normal cat food only because it had lower minerals. Why not just lower the minerals in the water? could be a good prevention protocol!!
Took my Kiwi to the vet a few months ago cause of a blockage and they told tried to charge us around 4-5k for the exam/procedure or to pretty much say our good byes to her so we took her home and gave her some purina hydracare and the homeopet uti drops and luckily that helped. Fast forward to the day before yesterday she began straining again, this time the same products weren’t working and she would cry in pain and I came across this video and it worked! It took about an hour before she showed any signs of relief. Thank you, you saved my Kiwi!!
Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!! My cat is feeling so much better with one dose. I gave it to him yesterday morning when I got home from work and today when I got home from work my husband said he’s feeling better cause he wasn’t meowing at night. I’m so happy my fur baby is doing better. Thank you!!!
Thank you so so so much❤ My cat stopped peeing and I didn’t know what to do except for going to a vet. Came to UA-cam searched for a home remedi and came accross your video. Three doses of 5 ml ACV and my cat started peeing within 6 hours. Although It's a little bit each time but I am hoping it will increase. God bless you❤
An older, country Veterinarian in S.C., told me 20 yrs ago, when I was having this problem with my cats, to start giving them DISTILLED WATER only!! He said the minerals in water were causing the crystals to form in thier bladder. Then the uretha would produce a substance to line it, to protect it from the sharp crystals. Then the substance would end up blocking the opening!! So I immediately switched to distilled water and NEVER had a blocked cat again!! Like I said, he was an old country Vet and truly cared about the animals more than the money ( I was shocked at how low his prices were! He said that he wanted everybody to be able to afford to bring thier pets to him, so the pets wouldn't have to suffer💝) Anyway, unfortunately he is retired now and I will always be grateful to him for sharing his wisdom everytime I took my cats to see him! We eventually bought a stainless steel countertop distiller and distill our own water. ( It is gross the stuff that is left, after a gallon is distilled!!) It cost $200 and has well paid for itself!! ps..If your cat is blocked now, take it to the Vet, but after it is unblocked start it on distilled water. If your cat is not blocked, start it on distilled water now! And please remember plastic dishes are bad for your pets! Only use stainless steel or glass dishes for water and food.
@@hateisbad yes, minerals from hard water are definitely a leading cause of blocked cats. Dry cat food is another. Thank you for posting your experience. Best to you!
This was very helpful. Since yesterday my cat was straining to pee and it's not her first time. Her first time was a horror story and I really couldn't go through the whole process again with the vet and all. I gave this method a shot and in about half an hour she peed. Thank you so much.
@@dominiquefalculan5317For anyone wondering, not all vinegar is the same! The video talks specifically about real apple cider vinegar…NOT white vinegar, which is totally different thing.
You are a nice man, kind, thorough yet simple video. Going to use your advice for our cat experiencing a second episode of possible problem. First time a few months ago cost us $1500 and hoping this works. Thank-you. Liked and subscribed

Put 1/4 teaspoon in two small cans of wet cat food or equivalent to that with one big can. You can also wash out an old salt and peppershaker to sprinkle a decent amount in their food. Any amount more than that I have noticed they will not eat it. Putting cranimals cranberry powder in their food will help keep their pee acidic to break down crystals. Additionally, "Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth" helps assist in UTI treatment sold on Amazon. It is a "diuretic" thus helps people and animals urinate 30% more to empty the bladder to keep crystals from forming. Completely safe for cats with no limitations of consumption and has no salt in it. Cats tolerate it because it has almost no taste. Just be careful not to breathe it in by getting it dusted up in the air because it is dangerous to breathe it in. Make sure to only use "Food Grade."Use at least about 1/4 teaspoon per small can wet cat food. Lastly, I have learned of a brand called "tinkle tonic" from chewy or amazon that some claim helped their cats. Finally, consider your cat’s stress level. Stress could be another factor that can lead to inflammation of the bladder area. Try to ensure he has enough to do to keep happy.

@@Binoculars-ot6xu i see you everywhere in these comments so may i ask what you mean specifically by "dousing" them in the acv ? i want to try it since she hates me putting it on her paws and would never let me feed it to her, but i'd like to know the most effective way/amount first
@@ofcourseuwont What I mean by "dousing" is that you place the Organic Apple Cider Vinegar in a small glass and you chuck it on their fur. Ideally try aiming for your cat's side fur area where they can easy lick it up while grooming the liquid off themselves.Cat's are obviously tidy animals, and they do not like to have wetness or any foreign substances on their body. They will lap it up and groom themselves after you " douse" them or chuck the liquid on them. Pouring it on them when they are resting is just as effective. I would actually recommend pouring on them before chucking it on them. Cats are quite smart though; my cat is wily. He got more wise to my ways when I did this to him over a longer period of time. So, sometimes I had to chuck it on him in an emergency rather than pouring it on him or rubbing it into his fur while trying to hold him down. I would normally recommend just rubbing two tablespoons on the sides of their body fur area by cupping a tablespoon at a time in your hand. Though, since your cat is more intolerant or wild like mine, then just douse them or pour it on them which is ultimately just as effective. It is important to note that at least half the amount in the glass will bead off their fur and not stick since you would be chucking it from a glass on them rather than hand rubbing it into their fur. That is why from my experience I say to place a good bit in the glass, meaning like at least double the amount of the two tablespoons of which I normally recommend. So, I would use five tablespoons in this instance. Now, obviously if you were able to rub it in better then you could reduce that amount back to just two tablespoons. Even pouring it on them, I would still go with four tablespoons because half of the amount usually beads of their fur unless you were to rub it in their fur a little at a time. Also, do not worry about using the excess amount in these types of emergency situations. Half will bead off them as I have stated; furthermore, they will not be able to lick it entirely off their fur in one time anyhow. So, it is actually quite nice that they get to lap up a good bit the first day, yet still are able to get smaller increments of the organic ACV the following few days. The overall goal is to use preventative measures besides just using organic apple cider vinegar in emergency situations. That is why I went into further detail about what has helped my cat not need the Organic Apple Cider nearly as often or if at all. There are a lot of factors that cause our cats to have this problem, but addressing them can greatly lessen the chance of a repeat occurrence or an emergency situation. Lastly, please remember that I have always used organic apple cider vinegar. If you ever tasted the difference as I have, then you would know how terrible the regular filtered kind tastes compared to the organic. The regular filtered kind is a lot more harsh to swallow down. The regular kind has been known to make cats froth at the mouth. So, I would always go with the organic unless you were absolutely desperate to use the other regular filtered kind.
My female cat gets stressed by the other cats and sometimes gets cystitis , I give her ACV diluted with water in her wet cat food, also in tuna brine or canned salmon juice in her food , I also have D-Mannose powder , I put 1/2 teaspoon in with her wet food and a bit extra water because she does not drink water much, I am in England and the vets are so expensive
This was an absolute miracle for our 8 year old male! He had a blockage 3 years ago, rushed him to the vet not knowing what was wrong and spent $1300 to unblock him. We were told if it happened again he would need surgery $3000-5000. He started to show the same symptoms again and was not peeing about 5 days ago. I cried and frantically searched online for anything knowing we could not go through with the surgery and would have to let him go. I came across your video and my husband rushed to the store and bought apple cider vinegar as well as homeopet for UTI. We gave two doses of diluted 5mL ACV over an hour and half and put him in our bathroom with wet food, water, and a no dust litter around midnight. The next morning at 7am he was covered in a pee/blood mixture. We started giving doses of homeopet as well as two more doses of diluted ACV over the next 24 hours. I noticed when he was in the litter box he was peeing out mucus. We stopped the ACV last night and this evening he energized, there’s pee in the litter box, he’s eating and drinking and is acting like himself again. Your advice saved my little buddy. Thank you so much for posting this video! Im so grateful we stumbled across it and have more time with our cuddly little guy. My 4 year old son has recently become attached to him and was blaming himself for him getting sick. He thought sleeping with him at night was the problem. He is going to cry with happiness to see he’s okay! Thank you again!!!!
This is what I did likewise:
Rub Organic raw unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar with "the Mother" on their fur (cat's sides) or the top of their paws. They will lick it off. Use at least two tablespoons in a day or if necessary a few days in an emergency for cats. For very young cats reduce that amount to one tablespoon. For kittens use only a teaspoon. Rub the organic apple cider vinegar on each side of their fur or the top of their paws until you see them have relief. Remember to shake the bottle first. If you have a wild cat that doesn’t take orders, then douse him with a good bit in a small glass. A lot will bead of his fur. Also, they will not be able to lick off the entirety of it all at once. Organic apple cider vinegar will start to go into immediate action for the cat to get relief from the blockage. It saved my cat that was pissing blood and then could not pee while squatting all the time. Also, it helps get rid of UTI bacteria; Walmart sells it. Ideally, it is best to use organic apple cider vinegar because it tastes rather good and is much more tolerable for the cat to ingest it compared to the filtered kind which tastes horrible.
Remember only to use the organic apple cider vinegar as necessary. Too much too often could lead to an ulcer. From my experience a couple tablespoons a week has not hurt my cat. If it is a real emergency you could go beyond that just do not let it come to a habit of more than that each week. Keep in mind; you will likely have reoccurring bouts with this for a while. That is why I recommend some other preventative measures as you read on below:
Keep in mind that it is important to ensure cats, when feeling normal, get enough water to keep their system flowing. Ensure they eat wet cat food over dry for the moisture content, Consider temporarily stopping the cat from eating dry food or even permanently if necessary. Too much dry food leads to blockages with lack of hydration compared to canned cat food. Try putting some added bit of water in their wet food. Avoid salty meats if they are having this problem. Salty meats or salty canned food meats like tuna will stop up your cat for sure!
If you use clay litter make sure you use the unscented. Scented can irritate their pee track with synthetic chemicals leading to inflammation and UTI blockages. Never use clumping litter for cats; it can lead to blockages because cats can ingest it much easier. That can cause ingestion of sludge and bacteria leading to inflammation and UTI’s. Clumping litter is known to be extremely dangerous for kittens and not good for cats in general. Buy only fragrant free non-clumping litter, and then add one heaping tablespoon of baking soda mixed in per 10 pounds of cat litter that you use. It will naturally neutralize the smell; Just do not go beyond that because baking soda is really high in salt which is dangerous for cats if they ingest it more than a tiny amount by licking their paws each time using the litter box. I have used it for my cat and it works well, he actually prefers this litter combination. Baking soda is known to help aid and help get rid of UTI’s. Never give it to your cat other than in the litter! Additionally, use feline pine litter and add it to your litter with several handfuls to add a nice fragrant smell. A little goes a long way to just supplement the litter.
Also, consider buying "cranimals" from amazon. It is a cranberry extract that helps the kidneys and gets rid of UTI problems. Put 1/4 teaspoon in two small cans of wet cat food or equivalent to that with one big can. You can also wash out an old salt and peppershaker to sprinkle a decent amount in their food. Any amount more than that I have noticed they will not eat it. Putting cranimals cranberry powder in their food will help keep their pee acidic to break down crystals.

Thank you! Lots of good information.
Thank you for this comment! My male cat have FLUTD and I’m trying to help him. Already visited the vet and this is his 3rd reoccurrence.
Concentrated ACV is too potent needs to be diluted with water. That is so wrong
I appreciate this. I’m at wits end. My baby is having a flutd bad uti and stones and he’s been miserable since Saturday night. He’s on meds and had shot of anotubiotic so notice he has more urine come out instead of dry strain but now when he’s squatting all over my living room every 5 minutes he’s leaving more urine. I can not live in a house full of cat pee….I’m desperate for him to get better. He’s had a ironlike this 8 years ago and never did this and unfortunately I can not afford 1000 bill up front right now 😢
This was extremely helpful, thank you
Thank you so much for the video. I went to the vet, paid $780 just to get into an emergency appointment and get my cat Rocky diagnosed with urinary blockage. I waited 4 hours at the vet, but Rocky still couldn’t pee and the catheterization was $1500. I took him back home, did my research and found your video. I got ACV for $5, fed him 5ml, and he peed within 2 hours. The next day he was completely fine. Thank you again!
🥹🥹🥹
That is absolutely wonderful to hear! Thank you so much for the super thanks! If you haven't already, try to switch Rocky to a wet food diet and consider using softened or cat water. Wishing Rocky many years of health from here ❤️🩹
I’m glad your boy Rocky is ok. I’ve been there man it’s harrowing. \😩
Try to be sure to give him a little ACV treatment every couple weeks so h3 doesn’t get this problem again. It seems to happen to the same cats a lot. This is my third time going through this….
Did u give ACV diluted or concentrated.
@@FarmDadplz send link of cat water if possible
Two weeks ago I paid 700.00 at the vet to treat my male cat's blockage. Yesterday I noticed that he was having problems urinating again and I cannot afford another vet visit. I gave him 5 ml of apple cider vinegar as you recommended. Within an hour of giving him 2 doses, it was as if a dam broke. He couldn't even make it to the litter box to urinate. The urine went everywhere! Your advice saved my best friend, Tiger. Thank you so much!
So happy to hear this! I had a cat named Tiger when I was growing up.
@@FarmDad God Bless you!
A month ago i cried a lot coz i know my cat will die coz of blockage..he cant walk anymore after two days of trying to pee and his lower tummy is so hard, but i always give him apple cider vineg, he suffers from uti last december but it healed. And the after three days i woke up 4 am then i got up and prepared myself for the worst, then i saw a lot of blood everywhere in the house than i look in the bathroom and saw my cat while peeing blood! So i woke my husband up crying and say Ginger is peeing and hes gonna be okay! He continue to pee bloody urine for 2 days and then it became normal. We started buying urinary tract catfood and then it didnt come back anymore. This video really helped me.
@@meako20 that is so wonderful to hear! Thank you so much for following up. I am so happy for Ginger!
@@meako20 that’s what I have been getting my cat. Urinary tract food. After he was blocked and spending $2300 on his surgery I thought things will be alright. Giving him the food he needs and making sure he drinks water but he suffered the same thing today. And I’m going through videos on what I can do. But still don’t understand why he went through it again.
I pray everyone’s fur babies make a full recovery ❤️ Sending love and healing energy to anyone reading this!
Thank you yeah I've been so worried I have 2 cats both going through it at the same time I moved house and they got stressed out and give them uti I have gone to the veterans twice and they still only getting little drops out so tomorrow I am trying again with the vet it's hard because money
Thank you!!! This helped my boy so much!!! I literally have been in tears for 3 days stressing and now I’m crying tears of joy ❤
Can I use apple cider vinegar capsules on my cat or does it have to be liquid thankyou lesley
@@brinnarae7527 how much did you give your baby before it worked? My cat has a blockage right now and I gave him 2 doses already, hoping it works 👏
@@sarahramjit7119 I end up finding two products that work so good . Tinkle Tonic and cranberry pills with D mannose. I also switched over to mostly wet food now. I was giving him doses of the acv like 3 times a day.
IT WORKS!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! My cat spent 4 days at vet with catheter due to blockage from crystals and other matieral (but no stones) He came home and I had to take him back again just 2 days later. After a full week he was doing horrible. No energy, still not peeing more than just a few drops a day, barely eating, and of course the Vet told me to bring him back again, but I could not afford to. I watched this video, used a syringe & only gave 3ML instead of 5ML, and he also foamed at the mouth. I gave him a small amount of wet food right after just to help everything stay down.....BUT 4 hrs later he peed! The next day he kept peeing (possibly a bit more than normal) but I'm sure it was just the vinegar doing it's thing. We are on day 2 and he is finally normal again! He's eating, wondering around inside and outside, energy is back up, his personality is back and he's peeing!!! (regular amounts now) I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH!!!! And not to mention how many thousands of $$$ you saved me! (FYI - For anyone who is going to try this, my cat did throw up once the day after he had the vinegar. I'm sure the it was harsh on the stomach, but after that, he's had no issues.)
I also wanted to add....The doseage needed for each cat will be different, but mine weighs 17lbs and we only had to give 3ML once. I will keep monitoring the litter box, but so far, that small amount has worked!
I am thrilled to hear he is better and that this helped him recover! ❤️❤️👍👍. Thank you for letting us know about your experience.
Thank you so much for posting this video. My cat, THX-1138, was at death's door and your advice cured him within several hours. I can't thank you enough!
Many, many thanks to you too! I have to say I absolutely love the name of your cat and I am glad to hear this helped him out. Make the switch to wet cat food now. I think there is some other helpful preventative advice in the pinned comment too. Thanks again!
@@FarmDad The vet doesn't get it when I write, 'State Rodent Control Operative THX-1138' on the name line of his admission form.
@@ducttapetech9885 🤣🤣
My cat always huhuhu his fighting for life and death and i don’t have money to go in vet.. i hope it work praying a lot for my MOLLY😭😭😭😭
I am a vet tech since 1999 so first ….good suggestions. Now some for you. To prevent you from getting scratched when giving the apple cider vinegar wrap the cat in a towel. Another thing to be aware of is that there is a school of thought that stress adds to this issue. So as much stress as you can remove from your cat”s environment the better. You can use pheromones,cbd oil or catnip to help.
Great advice! Appreciate you.
Be cautious about using herbal remedies to calm cats... Cats can't process a lot of the chemicals in plants like we do because they are obligate carnivores. Many oils that are relaxing to humans are poison to cats. Also, some cats actually have a paranoid reaction to cat nip, so if your cat is pne of those, don't. But yeah most relax on it.
Hi. My cat is hyper thyroid. Hes been off his meds a few weeks and is having an episode of circling. He hasnt peed in two days. If he possibly has kidney damage, is this still a solution? Can it be damaging to give him if his kidneys aren't functioning possibly? Like will the vinegar build up in his system and be toxic? Thanks.
how much apple cider vinegar must we give? do we dilute or not? and for how long must we continue? does it work on UTI without blockage? my cat can pee but sometimes he sits but there is no pee. We tried antibiotics, and cortisone. Cortisone worked for 3 weeks and we re back again in the same position. He sits to pee but nothing comes out. he tries a few times. We re on urinary diet for a month but it seems to have no affect..
interesting. It's amazing that effect of various stresses on cats. some poor lady on reddit just moved and neither of her two cats will leave their carrier or eat or explore her new place .
Im a vet in South Africa and agreed that vet bills are very high in the US. I'm a little sceptical of this treatment but also interested that so many people have posted a positive response. When a cat is taken to a vet with this problem it gets sedated and a urine cather passed into the bladder to remove the obstruction. Even with sedation and the correct equipment it can be hard to remove the obstruction. (The obstruction can be made up of crystals, mucus, blood, proteins and other stuff).
There is a condition in cats called idiopathic cystitis where there is no physical obstruction but an irritated bladder and urge to urinate. It's not life threatening like a true blockage as cats can still pass urine. Maybe the cat in this video (and the comments) are suffering from cystitis and not a true blockage?
There are a lot of questions raised by this video that would make for an interesting discussion:
1. Most websites state the vinegar although acidic creates an alkaline urine when broken down in the body
2. Urine crystals are generally made up of magnesium-ammonium-phosphate that are dissolved in acid urine not alkaline urine
3. Some crystals are made up of calcium-oxalate that are dissolved in alkaline urine
4. Cats that are already blocked should not respond to changing the pH of their urine as the blockage has already formed
5. Many comments state that the treatment worked within minutes, this indicates that urine pH changed within minutes and dissolved the obstruction
6. Be careful when squirting vinegar into your cats mouth, if that gets into the lungs you will have another serious problem
7. Surely it needs to be heavily diluted, straight vinegar is seriously acidic and may even harm your cats mouth and stomach.
Has Farmer Dad made a really interesting breakthrough in treatment? Are the cats truly blocked? Does vinegar have some other action that we dont understand?
WARNING: If your cat is truly blocked and cannot urinate then toxic substances build up in the blood which become life threatening.
Hi Farm Dad, I just wanted to say thank you. You saved my 9
Year old boy. He has suffered from urinary blockages for so so long and had so many surgeries. He was completely blocked and barely urinating and when he did it was bloody.
I didn’t want to put him through yet another surgery so I administered 5ml 3x today (he’s a very large cat) and sure enough he passed three stones. I even took him to the vet after to
Make sure they were all passed and sure enough with ultrasound they confirmed he was crystal free. I told them of your method and they were so impressed and said they would even recommend it to clients. Thank you. You saved his life ❤
The vet check up came to
$100 but it was sure better than the $2000-$4000 surgery they would of done if I didn’t use this method ❤ and he gets to heal naturally . THANK YOU
That's awesome! Thanks so much for letting me know. I'm glad he's all better!
Just one last update on THX 1138. He had a brief second episode maybe two weeks after the initial problem, but the vinegar sorted him right out. I switched him to canned food after the first intervention and I would suspect that the second, less major event was due to a residual mineral buildup in the kidneys. There seem to be a fair number of these sesquella events reported in conjunction with feline urinary blockages, so I would advise cat owners to keep a close eye out and be ready to intervene at first sign of a subsequent event.
I believe you are spot on. I really hope THX 1138 doesn't have any more flare ups. As always, I really appreciate your support. Means a lot to me.
Hallelujah! It worked for my baby too. This is amazing! Why is this not common knowledge? I will do my best to spread the life(and pain)saving information as much as I can. Thank you so much for making this video!
Glad to hear this! Thank you!
I just wanted to thank you very much for posting this. I took my cat into the vet for two issues, one of them was blockage. The vet didn't seem to think there was an issue or didn't see one and sent my cat home. When I called back an hour later telling them he still was straining they said, "well, you can bring him back in" that was after I spent $1000. SOOO MADDENING. Long story longer, I treated my cat with 450mg Apple cider vinegar pills. Opened up the capsule and gave half of it in a small quarter size bit of wet cat food. He ate it no problem. Gave him the second half a littler later. When I got up this morning, I noticed my cat pee' d a little in his box. After about 20 mins of him being out of his crate, he pee' d outside like a trucker!!!! You saved me not only a couple of hours at the vet, but about 1200-1400 dollars. I have two older cats, 14 and 15 y/o. I will no be adding this apple cider vinegar to my list of miracle supplements for my keeks. L-Lysine is a great supplement to keep your kitties healthy. I also give them cranberry, from gel pill, in their food on occasion.
Cool experience using the pills! First I've heard of someone opening them and using them like that. Thanks for sharing!
What brand of apple cider vinegar pills did you use?
Please be very careful with ACV in tablet form, for animals and humans because if it gets stuck in the throat it can really cause burn damage 🙏💗
Earlier this year, my cat had to go to the vet for a complete blockage. He was at the vet for days with a catheter and spent over $1500. Within a month he slipped out the door and I haven’t seen him since. It was devastating. Now my other cat is having trouble urinating and I’m having PTSD. I love my cat, but I can’t fathom spending that much again. I got him antibiotics but they haven’t seemed to help much. They’ve just kept him from being completely blocked. I just picked up some apple cider vinegar and administered the first dose. Hoping for some relief by the time we wake up. When I was 18, I rescued a dog from the pound and at eight weeks she developed parvo, when I took her to the vet, the vet said she needed to stay and get IV fluids, and that it would be at least $1000. I pleaded with the vet and told her I couldn’t afford it. She told me I shouldn’t have a dog if I can’t afford the treatments. It traumatized me, and I think that’s a terrible attitude. I think my cat and dog are much happier with me than on the streets. He’s happy and his basic needs are taken care of. Just because I can’t afford a new transmission doesn’t mean I don’t deserve a car. You never know what’s going to happen. Anyways, I found someone saying they had used Kaopectate and Pedialyte and their dog made a full recovery. I tried it and within 12 hours, my dog was so much better. She ended up living for 15 more years. So I really appreciate you doing this video. It’s not about being lazy or not wanting your pet to have the best care.
I agree with you very much. I am glad the veterinarians I used to work for did not have that attitude about affording treatment. That was a terrible thing to say. I hope your kitty is seeing an improvement by morning 💜🤞
Go to a different vet shes horrible and negotiate payment plan if you have to some charities actually provide free vet care 2 in ireland do as you can't surely give your dog away or send it to a shelter. Tried to get it for Willow last year sick cat with FIP she died ultimately the owner was afraid to find out. I had a cat with Fip and wanted her to be euthanized as its 100 per cent fatal.
I hate to say this and it may not be true of ALL vets but most of them now are money grabbers We feel like we have been throughly hosed be the vet and the emergency clinic lately.
Thank you so much! I just spent $4K in January alone treating my cat's (Louie) urethral blockage. I knew that it will most likely reoccur and it did. The one thing I regret not doing is getting the wet prescription food. I ended up getting a kibble after the first blockage. Yesterday I noticed Louie didn't urinate all day and didn't eat his food. This time I tried diluted ACV and fed him using a syringe. To hold him steady I used the towel wrap method (learned from UA-cam as well) and aimed for the back of his throat to prevent foaming (which is normal). I also dipped his front paws in ACV (not diluted) and spread it over the sides of his body as one commenter suggested. He kept licking it which was great. It worked and I am so grateful you decided to make this video. I would like to thank you and all the participants who shared their stories and participated in the discussion. Literally, life-saving.
So glad to hear he is better again! I really like your plan of treatment. Spot on.
Same story re the $ and recurring issue with the dry urinary diet. I now give him a subcutaneous fluid drip ( 100-200ml) weekly. Will try the ACV next time but so far neither me or the vets have successfully gotten him to take anything orally. H turns into the Siberian hulk
My 14 year old male cat, "Honey Cookie" had a blockage 3 days ago. We spent a lot of money for treatment but it didn't work. I was looking for a place to open on New Year's Eve to put him down to stop his suffering and spend a miserable, sad, beginning of the year for my family and me.. Someone sent me your video and tried the acv asap. Honey Cookie made it! After 6 hours, he peed 3 times already and he's back to normal!!!
He's hungry and eating well.
Thank you very much from the bottom of our hearts from my husband and kids. There are no words to thank you, really, no words to thank you specially at this time of the year. I will share this video to family and friends to help other kitties on similar situations. Obviously every case is different but it worked wonders for us.

You just saved my cat Marley! This worked within 1 hour. He was totally blocked and had been for 2 days! The vets were all closed as it is a weekend and a small farm town. I gave him 5 mL undiluted and within an hour a small drop of pee. 1 hr later I gave him another 5 mL and a half hour later a huge lake of pee all over the bathroom floor like a flood let loose! Totally a miracle as he was shaking and crying out in agony and I feared he would have a bladder rupture and die. It was heart wrenching. Thank you so much from the bottom of my family’s hearts!!!❤️❤️❤️
I absolutely love hearing this! I have had a bad day and this has totally lifted my spirits!
thanks for sharing, what is the weight of your cat? should I also give 5ml for a kitten weighing 1.5 kilo?
@@wanderingsoul6986 he weighs about 6 kilo. I would give less to a kitten.
@@FarmDad thank you so much 🙏🏻
SO GRATEFUL ago HEAR THIS! Did he/she spit up and salivate alot
Thank you, this saved our cat! She's having a hard time urinating and only pee a little with blood. After doing it for 5days (5ml, 2x a day), our cat is now okay.
That's wonderful news to hear! Check out the pinned comment for some good advice on how to prevent this from occuring again.
Are you giving acv directly means undiluted 5ml or diluted 5ml...plz tell me my cat is also in same situation he is not peeing .....at all
Thank you for saving my 20+ year old cat. We are strapped financially after she had surgery. Much love to you and your family. Will keep you all in my prayers !!!
I am glad this helped give your elderly cat more time. I hope your finances improve. Everything costs an arm and a leg nowadays. It's hard.
This is a miracle!! Our sweet boy has been having issues with urine crystals and was catheterized recently. The catheter was removed earlier this week and today, I noticed he was having issues peeing again - going to the litter box every 2 minutes, straining to pee and no urine coming out. He would then cry loudly and lick his private area. I felt so completely distraught because we spent a ton of money at the vet and he suffered so much and everything is closed here for the holidays until Tuesday. In complete desperation, I stumbled on this video. We gave him a dropper of ACV with the mother diluted with water. A short while after, he actually peed! I almost cried. He then peed 4 more times. And did a beautiful poop after. I'm so happy I could jump. Thank you SO much for this video!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Glad is feeling better! Happy new year!
Currently my situation with my cat he got admitted for 3 days with catheter on it was just remove yesterday and today just this moment he had difficulty again i already spend a lot of money 😢 admission medication food and other stuff this give me hope ill buy acv right away once the stores opens thanks.
I’m so glad I found this video. My 3 year old boy cat had a blockage and I took him to the ER. They recommend keeping him for 48 hours with a catheter and on fluids. The catheter ended up blocking too and the vet had to unblock it. Her recommendation was to keep him there for a third day to see how it goes or to spend money on a PU surgery to shorten his urethra which would reduce future blocking down to 20%. The vet said that since the catheter blocked the chances of another block when he got home was highly likely.
I decided against the surgery and also against keeping him at the vet for a third day. I brought him home after 48 hours at the vet. The cost for 2 days was $5,100.
I syringe fed him a 50/50 mixture of ACV and water. 12 hours passed and he urinated 3 times in 5 minutes. A little bit of crystalline substance came out of his urethra. Moving forward he will be on wet food.
Thank you so much for posting this! I can’t imagine forcing him to undergo surgery.
I am glad this helped him!
May i know how much in milliliter do you make the 50/50 Acv water mixture?
@@_perryperry 5ml is a good amount.
@@FarmDad hello I gave my cat acv 3 times but he didn't pee what can I do please answer me as soon as possible
Thank you very much to the creator of this video. I did this yesterday on my cat. The first time my cat was blocked I panicked and I had no idea why he could not pee, so I took him to the Vet and was hit with a 1,100 bill. The second time my cat got blocked, I decided to go the ACV route. It took a whole 24 hours for the vinegar to truly kick in. Yesterday he was peeing maybe a drop, this morning there were entire pools of pee all around my house.
Thank you again, sir! I probably couldn't have afforded a second Vet bill.
Also, I have begun giving my cat "farmina urinary wet cat food" he loves it and it seems to help with his urethra. Thank you again and i hope everyone's cat makes a full recovery!
Most welcome. Glad to hear he is better. That cat food sounds like a great choice.
This gives me hope! I gave my cat some ACV about 20 minutes ago, and he's been squatting repeatedly! I just hope in a couple hours he'll be able to pee
This saved my boy !! Thank you ! We just spent 3,000 on him at the animal er in October he started getting blocked lastnight and I have him some acv and about 2-3 hours later he was able to empty his whole bladder ! So happy found this video
I love hearing success stories! Be sure to read the pinned comment for some good tips on preventing reoccurrence.
Should I add water with vinegar or not?
@@DanishKhan-kn8nfI definitely would
Thank you, this saved my cat's life! Gave my cat some apple cider vinegar and about 6hours later he peed for the first time in about 2 days. Had a bit of a sore throat afterwards but been a week now and he's back to normal again! Thanks again! ❤
So glad to hear he is back to normal!
What if he pukes after drinking the apple cider vinegar?
@@mikebanhdon’t give him pure acv dilute half and half with water.
Thinking the vinegar should be diluted some ( like it should be for people) so it doesn't damage their esophagus or stomach. Also once I gave my cat cinnamon capsules to help with a urinary infection, it helped. ( Are cranberry capsules fine too ? ).
I had to come on here and just say thank you a millions times! My cat has had a history of UTI due to bladder stones. Vet told me to keep an eye out on him because he may eventually block requiring ER visit. Last night, my cat was not urinating at all to the point he started to grunt and growl at me because he was in pain. I called around a few ER vets and asked for a quote about how much it would be to get him checked and everyone was ranging around the thousands which I cannot afford!! Thankfully, I found this video and gave my cat a shot of straight ACV, 4 ml, and he reacted the same way as the cat in the video. I was extremely skeptical and was so sad I would possibly wake up and no longer have my cat around. This morning, he actually woke me up to feed him and I went to check his litter box, which I also place on top of a pee pad, and saw he had urinated so much! And I also saw something dark and round, wasn’t poop, so I’m assuming he passed whatever may have blocked him! My cat is back to his normal self and he seems sooo relieved!! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!!!
That's wonderful to hear! Check out the pinned comment because there's some good prevention advice in it. I hope your kitty won't have to go through this again 😁
Never comment on stuff but have to on this one. Have a Young male cat under 3 years old, had a prior blockage and started getting one again today. Trickling flow and stomach getting firm. Found this video and Got 10ml of ACV in him over a few hours and another 5ml mixed in his food. Already massive increase in his urine flow and energy. Still going to be checking in with the vet over the next couple days but still thrilled to give him some relief. Thanks again!
Just now seeing this. Hope he is still doing well.
Can this work on humans too ?
Did you dilute the acv?
Thank you for posting this video! Also, super grateful to my brother for finding it! I thought I was gonna lose my cat and cried a ton last night. The vet was already closed so we didn't want to risk him dying overnight and decided to go ahead and take another risk and give him the acv. So we gave him acv since everyone said it works. We gave him 5mL and then an hour later another 5mL. He wasn't peeing for HOURS and I became super discouraged. 12 hours later and my cat is peeing everywhere!! He doesn't look so weak and lethargic anymore and ate 2 cans of the food that the doctor prescribed and drank some water after not eating or drinking the whole entire day prior. So far so good, hopefully he gets better and better and we won't need a second expensive vet visit either.
Super glad to hear this! Be sure to check out the pinned comment for some good preventative advice. Best wishes to your cat.
@@FarmDad thank you!😁
@@alinarik99 hi how is your baby (cat) doing :)
Give your cat a better food. Vet food is not good quality, especially if it is kibble.
Do you mix 5ml apple cider vinegar with water ? Or pure ACV ?
I was searching frantically everywhere for a home remedy all day and almost gave up until I saw this video. THANK YOU.
I was dying inside, I'm broke, my cat is suffering....I was afraid I'd come home to a dead cat. I'm going to run home immediately after work And give this to him. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Wishing your cat well! I feel for you.
hello? update?
Yeah I tried this and my cat proceeded to pee EVERYWHERE. I'm just wondering how long I need to dose him for. :/
@@alexandrarodriguez4095 that is great that it worked! I would go to a monthly dose as a preventative. Just put some on his fur and let him lick it off.
Thank you so much!!! ✨
I don’t usually comment but I HAD to say thank you after your information saved my little queen. After calling the vet hospitals in my area, who then directed me to call the humane society because I’m a college student and cannot afford to pay anything upfront, I was let down at the hs also, unless I surrender her. I was so afraid for her life because she wasn't peeing for almost two days. Found your video tg. I had to feed it to her in a 5ml syringe 1:1 water/acv twice an hour for almost four hours throughout the night. When she finally peed, I can’t even describe the relief and happiness I felt. I didn't care that she kindof hated me all the next day, she is saved!!
Tysm for posting this! I could just hug you rn!
This saved my baby girl Mushu. She had been blocked for weeks. It’s a miracle she was able to survive all that time. I’m assuming since she’d been blocked for a long time that that’s the reason it took about 12hrs for this treatment to finally unblock all the crystallization. She’s back to her normal self now. Thank you!!
I am so glad to hear she is better. Sounds like a long ordeal but she's a survivor!
How much mL of the acv did you give him at a time?
How could she have been blocked for weeks??!
Excuse me, may I ask how many doses did you give your cat?
Mine has been blocked for the past two days and he's so weak and slow right now. He doesn't eat nor drink.
I gave him two doses of 5ml this morning and it's been 4hours since and nothing happens.
I wonder if I should give him more or wait to see if the acv is gonna work?
The vets in my country says he can die in the following 48hours and that hospitalization, catheter and etc is the ONLY solution for this case, or... Euthanasia.
I don't ever want to do euthanasia, never, I'm not going to kill my cat.
Please, answer if you can.
How many doses you give and do you mix apple cider vinegar with water ?
Seems like we found the right video at the right time! THANK YOU. Just ran to the store at 6am to get this for my kitty. As seen in the comments it helped a lot of people, so hopefully my kitty will be saved too!
Hope your kitty gets well soon ❤️🩹
curious how things went? please update us. 🤔
@@annmariemayersky2944 it went great!! I went to my nearest pet store and bought some cranberry+turkey powder that I mix with his feed. And I gave him vinegar which he totally did not love. And slowly but pretty fast he got better!!! We had already been to the vet for this twice just for it to keep happening and spent so much money on visits. This saved me
@@nc7072hey can you tell me what the man said in this vdo...i don't understand his pronunciation...plz help me here...
@@SantoshMane-sv5wm just read my comment and do that. It worked out! Also try giving your cat vinegar. It helps instantly
Tried the acv, works wonders you just have to be consistent to observe if your pet has this symptoms in early stages. I noticed she has already peeing small amounts of urine mixed with blood and just peeing everywhere, she was also straining. Poor baby. So I did was to just mix coconut oil and acv full strength undiluted with ratio of 1:1 and admninster it to her via syringe at least 5 ml I administer it 3 times a day for 3 consecutive days followed with water because she isnt a fan of water .On the second day, the blood was gone and the third day she has more urine coming out and no blood at all and less frequent trips. I hope this will help!
Thanks so much for the info! Glad she is better!
Thank you so much for posting this! Our 9 year old cat had a blockage last week. The vet bill was over a thousand dollars. We got him home and 2 days later he was blocked again. It took about 4 -5 hours for the apple cider vinegar to work but he now has voided a good amount of urine.
I am glad this has helped you avoid another costly vet visit. Check out the pinned comment for some good preventative advice.
@@FarmDad can vinegar work?? I don't have apple cigar
@@kamui4708 no, needs to be apple cider vinegar.
Please how much did you give him!?
Sorry, I just saw your message I would fill up a 5ml syringe with a half apple cider vinegar and water ratio. Squirt as much as possible into the cat’s mouth. Try giving the syringe every 2-4 hour until they void. Our cat hated the apple cider vinegar/ water syringe. He started trying to run away every time he saw me. My husband ended up buying ALFA PET kidney support for our cat. It’s a dropper and is available on Amazon. I think it was around 30 bucks. That worked terrific we just put it in his food and he would gobble it all up. He was on it for a couple of months but he doesn’t need it daily anymore, but we still have it on hand just in case.
Dude, I was so dang skeptical about this. I JUST got my cat back from a week at the vet and near death. He spent one day home and then all of a sudden blocked again. I can't afford another vet visit after the outrageous cost of the one not even 2 days ago. Followed your advice and within 15 minutes he peed twice....the second time a huge weird glob came out. I have NO IDEA what it could be. Called his vet to email photos but he seems way better. He's on antibiotics right now but it was because of this he was able to push it out. Thank you thank you thank you.
Rachel and Vashy-ass
I am glad he is doing better! My guess is the glob was either a blood clot or the blockage. Let us know what the vet identifies it as.
That kind of glob is mucous which can cause the blockage. I'm glad he passed it!
This information helped save my cats life last year. She’s having trouble going again now so I’m doing this treatment again. God bless you
I hope it saved her again 💜💜💜
@@FarmDad indeed it did thank you. And this time I did take her to the vet and he said that she only had a UTI that was making her think she had to urinate even when she didn’t. So ha gave her an antibiotic injection and had me put her on renal prescription food. I also gave her a cranberry blend I got at pet supermarket. All that fixed her up thank God.
I sincerely want to thank you my cat has been struggling to go P and hasn’t Peed all day. We already took him to the vet and got him medication and even with the medication he still not has went to the bathroom today I came up on your video and I’m just so grateful I had to give him 2 mL of it. He drank a lot of water after that and then he went P may not have been a lot but it’s enough
Thank you. I credit you with the reason my fur baby is still alive. It was tough he didn’t like it but it worked and he’s back to his old self. I can’t thank you enough.
So glad he is better!
My cat almost died from a blocked bladder when he was only 9 months. Since then he’s had them on and off, always had to go to the vet for it. I noticed it yesterday, no pee at all when he was in the box. I gave him some cbd hoping to relax him and help him go, then found this video. I gave him a couple ml of apple cider, and some extra water in his food. Assumed he would have to go to the vet today. Woke up this morning and he peed like a faucet was on! This just saved us.
I am so glad to hear this! I hope it doesn't happen to him again!
Can vinegar work? I don't have apple cigar
Any certain name brand? I need some for my cat ASAP
@@kamui4708 apple cider vinager
How many ml should i give my cat?
THANK YOU for making this video!!! It saved my grandcat's life! My son had spent over $1K to get him cleared - he couldn't urinate at all. Trying this was a last ditch effort to save his life. They gave him 5 ml over a 2 hour period, and he was able to pee again within 5 hours! It's been 2 days since they first dosed him with ACV, and he's seemingly mostly back to being himself - eating, drinking, peeing. Thank you, again!
Most welcome! Love hearing stories like this!
Does acv undiluted form makes the cat throat soar ? Bcz he us not eating and drinking anything
@@anjaliahari1864 I am not sure. My son gave it to his cat undiluted, and he was okay. But it did take him a little bit to start eating and drinking normally again (he had not been doing much of either prior to them giving him the ACV, because he was in such distress from the blockage). I'm sorry about your kitty.😓
Thank you! I was at the hospital a week ago with my cat with a partial blockage and they gave him pain meds and suggested a catheter and stay for $2k. We took him home but it got worse. This gave him relief in a few hours and saved him from being put down
I am so glad to hear this helped save him!
So he is better now?
So did the pain message help or what happened I'm scared I just paid 400 and he did t give antibiotics what do I do this vinegar thing
Il a séjourné 2 jours en clinique pour 600€ et toujours pareil . Merci je vais l’essayer. Bonne et heureuse année
I was definitely skeptical that this would work but last night around midnight my cat started showing signs of not being able to pee, and sure enough his bladder felt hard as a rock. This happened once before and it resulted in an $800 vet bill and that wasn’t even at a 24 hour emergency clinic. Since I knew the bill would be crazy if I took him to the vet in the middle of the night, and he didn’t seem to be in pain, I decided to try giving him some apple cider vinegar with a syringe (about 5ml) and that I would take him to the vet in the morning if it didn’t work. Well, I woke up early and checked on him this morning and it worked! He peed all over the place, but fortunately he contained it all to my bathroom. Thanks so much for this advice. I will still take him to the vet, but at least it’s no longer an emergency and most importantly he’s not uncomfortable anymore.
Disclaimer: I do think that we caught it relatively early this time, and if your cat is howling in pain I would still take them straight to the vet. But if you notice that they’re having trouble peeing and they don’t seem to react negatively to you picking them up or prodding around their bladder, definitely give ACV a shot! It saved my little dude a lot of pain and me a lot money and heartache.
Thanks again for making this video!
So glad it helped and saved you some money! And I agree with your wise sentiments.
@@FarmDad hi! I’m not sure how frequent you are on here but I posted a question and was hoping you’d be able to help me
My cat is currently going through this and is howling in pain but I live pretty far from town and the roads are all ices over and I’m not sure I can get him to a vet. I’ll have to see if we have an ACV just in case.
We want to sincerely thank you and your wife for posting this video. You saved my cats life and me a ton of money! Another thing that I found out to keep the crystals at bay is to give them six drops of liquid vitamin C daily in a little bit of wet canned food
I'm thrilled to hear this! Thanks for the additional advice.
I just want to say thank you because you literally helped save my cats life! This past weekend I noticed my boy Kyu was struggling to pee and poop. He kept constantly going to the bathroom with little to no result his pee also was starting to turn orange red. I found your video and immediately went into action. I used the ACV , alkaline water , organic cranberry juice along with the Homeo pet and on the 3rd day he peed so much and pooped! It was a stressful 3 days but now he’s back to normal! I also researched and purchased a product called Tinkle Tonic which INSTANTLY made my cat pee. He’s now on wet food living life like it’s golden ☀️
You are a great cat mom. Great job and glad to hear he's better and the other products that helped him!
@@FarmDad Thank you!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi there, my cat is experiencing something similar to your Kyu so thank you for sharing! May I ask what the brand of tinkle tonic is that you’re using? I’m seeing one by Natura Petz Organics that is a powder and one by Animal Essentials that is a liquid tincture. Not sure which one to get, and would appreciate your input 🙏
@@pmo873 Oh no I hope your kitty feels better. The one I got is by animal essentials. Also cranberry pills with the D mannose is a great to mix in with their food. So far my Kyu is doing great! I hope this helps ❤️

You saved my Cat "jerry ", he had urine blockage before too, vet put a catheter inside him, was in so much pain and frustration, happened again today. Found your video and i don't know how to thank you, he wasn't peeing and now he flooded the litter box . Thanks alot man!!!❤️
That's awesome! Best to Jerry!!!
Plzz tell me have you given him diluted or undiluted acv...plzzz its an emergency...I m so much worried
I've already left a comment but that was when I was asking for help so this one will be a thank you. My cat mondo started growling and hissing after using the bathroom with very little pee coming out, then after a while he wasn't able to pee at all which is an emergency. It was the weekend so no vets were open and we didn't have the money anyway. We panicked and started looking up ways we could help him at home. We rushed to the pet store to pick up the homeopet uti meds but even after a few days he still couldn't pee properly (this was before his pee stopped completely) but when he couldn't pee at all we needed to hurry so we tried this. I left a comment asking how much to give him and you got back right away so we were able to save him thank you! We gave him 2.5ml acv and 2.5ml water just like you said. after a few hours he peed again. I fell to the floor and started crying in relief we had been pacing the floor for 5 hours researching till he finally went. He has super sharp nails and will not let us cut them and get violent when you try to give him meds but we used a jean jacket (I find it works best because it's not stretchy like blankets or towels) and we got it down. Now he's on collidal silver (we got ours from Kroger) 10ml twice a day (that's 2teaspoons- NOT tablespoons) for his uti and it's working. We will only give him more acv if he is completely unable to pee again because it's not good for them to have to much but collidal silver doesn't hurt them in any way (it's very hard to overdose them on it but still don't give a ton of collidal silver) he's only 2 years old and we love him to death my dad would never recover if he had passed so we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. With such a simple video you have saved many cats that we all consider our own family ❤️
I am so happy to hear he got better! I will have to look into collidal silver. Thanks for the tip!
Thank you for this video. I have a male cat who was struggling to pass urine, just a few drops, he was crying while straining to pee, and was doing this all around the house (outside of his litterbox). He has a history of blockages from crystals, and I could see that he was showing signs of being on his way to a full on blockage, which we know, is an emergency.
The emergency clinic is a 2 hour drive (I live out in the country) and the last time I went there, I paid around $1,500 to unblock him. So, I had some ACV on hand, and I tried it. I administered it 3 times during the night, and again in the morning. Pure and undiluted. He didn't like it, but guess what? The pee started flowing... he's urinated twice now, in his litterbox, large amounts. Crisis diverted! It's like a miracle. Thank you!
So glad this got him feeling better! It definitely makes me feel good hearing this.
Thank you for sharing. I also live out in the country, two hours from the nearest emergency room vet clinic, and my local vet clinic wouldn't touch this. They told me they could make an appointment in two weeks. (time to find another vet!) Just gave my loving boy two good shots of ACV down the hatch and gonna pray he pulls through the night. I've already lost three males to this issue and I don't want to lose another.
@@blackcattrucking4907 I hope he pulls through. Be sure to read the pinned comment as it has some good preventative tips that may help your boy if he passes the blockage.

Thank you for this timely video and thank you to all of the folks who commented! My precious boy cat was struggling to empty his bladder yesterday. I am a low-income person and absolutely cannot take my sweet boy to the animal er again. I just did the acv method and I also administered some pet homeopathic drops. He did pee a tiny bit last night and again this morning, but not the usual amount. I am blessed to be off work today, so I can keep an eye on him. I am exceedingly grateful for this community of kind cat people, may God heal all the pets and comfort each and every one of us. 🙏

Should I add water with vinegar or not?
@@DanishKhan-kn8nf I did, so that it would be more gentle.
my cat has been in the hospital 5 times over a month and is declining and not improving despite meds, Catheters, wet food, no dust potty box etc. i saw your video. I believe you saved Sarge. I've been giving him the 5mm of Bragg Apple cider vinegar every few hours. he is not 100% but he played with the dogs for the first time in a while. Thank you for your video.
I'm glad to hear it has helped him. It is possible to overdose on ACV, so once his blockage is passed, cut back to once or twice a month. 💜
My cat is currently at the vet after having the procedure with the catheter. He has blocked twice since being there and was basically told he wasn’t going to make it. Tomorrow I am going to pick him up and give this a try. Really hope it works and safes his life

HI! I have spent over $ 300 for Convenia Antibiotic and Prednisolone Steroid. My female cat is 12 years old and has been in perfect health up until 4 days ago with a UTI. I was wondering if it was safe to try the Apple cider viniger if she's had the Convenia Antibiotic injection. Please let me know, I simply cannot afford another Vet Visit. She's still not peeing after the Antibiotic and steroid. I really want to try the Apple cider viniger!! Thank you! ❤️
Hi any updates?
Noticed our 20-year-old female tabby has another urine infection/bladder infection. She is back to trying to wee in every corner of the house, and what little comes out is bloody. She is also showing signs of distress. Am going to try the apple cider vinegar soon and let you all know how it goes :) Many thanks for this video too, very helpful.
Update: Gave my cat 5mil of ACV, waited an hour, and gave her 5 more in some tuna (which she gobbled up) several hours later she went to potty in the garden without issue or any blood. I do think she has a stomach upset though, due to how she is positioning herself, will keep an eye on the situation.
Glad it sounds like there is some improvement ❤️🩹
@@FarmDad Polly our 21 year old is a bran new cat since giving her the acv. She is toileting properly, happy, purring all the time, eating like a champ lol oh and has plenty of catitude. Thanks again
I have done straight shots of ACV before, and I can personally confirm it doesn't sit very easy on the stomach!
Thanks mate, deffs helped my cat. Just paid a grand the other week the for my fella at the vet, tried this tonight as he was blocked up all day and within an hour he had 7ml 50-50 water apple cider through syringe and got a dribble happening
Hope he continues to improve!
Thank you for saving my cat's life, farm dad. i stumbled upon this video at the most perfect time. I owe you my cat's second chance at life. And mine too. Now he just has to fully recover so we can spend the Christmas together. Thank you!
I am happy to hear this helped. I hope he continues to heal and y'all have a merry Christmas.
found out my cat has kidney disease, probably caused by his uti. he won't eat anything now and just drinks water, but just today he refused to even drink and i just somehow forced him to. still, thank you this is such a great help for owners not knowing what to do. i still hope for the best. Keep helping and Merry Christmas.
@@criselegalvez I'm sorry to hear about his kidneys ☹️
I just want to say thank you so much. I was afraid of the prices at the vet and my cat's belly was getting bigger and bigger. Only 2 doses of apple cider vinegar and he was fine. Thank you so much again!
Most welcome! I love hearing this helped him. 💜
Daily update on oreo’s condition.
Day 1: Saw her trying to pee in the bathroom but nothing coming out, immediately i started my research on whatever it is, found out it’s UTI, searched for home treatment if possible because vets in our city suck, found this video, started giving her acv in small amounts 2-3ml, she was still straining, no progress.
Day 2: Gave her acv again in small amount 2-3ml , one time in a day, because i was scared smthg would happen if i gave her alot of it.
Day 3: Still no progress so i gave her 5ml 2-3 times in a day, noticed small amount of urine instead of 2-3 drops that were mostly bloody.
Day 4: Gave her acv 5ml 3 times with syringe and mixed some in her jelly food, noticed that every-time i gave her the acv her urine was coming out more and more each time with less frequent visits to the bathroom and less licking of her private areas.
She is very active, playful and eating alright.
Wow, she sounds like a tough case requiring a lot of ACV to remove her blockage. I am glad she is starting to feel all better!
@@FarmDad Yes! she is feeling alot better all thanks to you!💗
what ıs ACV?

You are a hero to us! The apple cider plus a blabber and urethra message saved my cat in 1 hour. We can't afford to spend the $3800 we were quoted at the emergency clinic.
So glad to hear that this worked for you!
Sometimes people don't have money to take animal to the vet and they do the best they can with what they got appreciate you making the video
Welcome! I know this all too well.
Wonderful video. Explaining a third option will help so many cat owners. Appreciate you Farm Dad!
I am so glad to find that it is helping folks.
I can't thank you enough for this video. My 2 year old Tuxedo cat Finn has been blocked 2 times prior to this costing me 1200 both times. My husband almost left me for spending this to save my cats life. He's blocked again and i was afraid i would have to put him to sleep. I tried this and he peed like a river in an hour. THANK YOU!
I am so happy I saved your marriage!!! Lol. Seriously though, I'm glad your cat is feeling better. Check out the pinned comment for some good preventative advice.
@FarmDad You literally did save my marriage and my beloved cat lol. I can't thank you enough! You have a new subscriber in me!
@@itsthatdangGina I sure appreciate it ❤️❤️😁
My boy cat Oakley was suffering from blockage. Took him to the vet, spent $560 and was told he was healthy. Two days into antibiotics he still wouldn’t pee. I tried the acv and within 48 hrs I picked him up in the morning and he peed all over me 😂 he has now peed 3 times so far today so I gotta say this did the trick. He also ate some food today. I will keep monitoring him but I just want to say thank you for this video!
I am so happy Oakley is feeling better! Check out the pinned comment for some good preventative advice. Best to you!
@@FarmDad thank you!
This is encouraging
It did help. It gave me confidence that I could at least try it on my one. So thank you, truly. I always freak out like it's the end of the world, you gave me some piece of mind.
Glad my video helped you!
@@FarmDad She's actually doing pretty good now and it started at 5 this morning! Thank you so much.
Here is some additional information for you that has helped me:
Rub Organic raw unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar with "the Mother" on their fur (cat's sides) or the top of their paws. They will lick it off. Use at least two tablespoons in a day or if necessary a few days in an emergency for cats. For very young cats reduce that amount to one tablespoon. For kittens use only a teaspoon. Rub the organic apple cider vinegar on each side of their fur or the top of their paws until you see them have relief. Remember to shake the bottle first. If you have a wild cat that doesn’t take orders, then douse him with a good bit in a small glass. A lot will bead of his fur. Also, they will not be able to lick off the entirety of it all at once. Organic apple cider vinegar will start to go into immediate action for the cat to get relief from the blockage. It saved my cat that was pissing blood and then could not pee while squatting all the time. Also, it helps get rid of UTI bacteria; Walmart sells it. Ideally, it is best to use organic apple cider vinegar because it tastes rather good and is much more tolerable for the cat to ingest it compared to the filtered kind which tastes horrible.
Remember only to use the organic apple cider vinegar as necessary. Too much too often could lead to an ulcer. From my experience a couple tablespoons a week has not hurt my cat. If it is a real emergency you could go beyond that just do not let it come to a habit of more than that each week. Keep in mind; you will likely have reoccurring bouts with this for a while. That is why I recommend some other preventative measures as you read on below:
Keep in mind that it is important to ensure cats, when feeling normal, get enough water to keep their system flowing. Ensure they eat wet cat food over dry for the moisture content, Consider temporarily stopping the cat from eating dry food or even permanently if necessary. Too much dry food leads to blockages with lack of hydration compared to canned cat food. Try putting some added bit of water in their wet food. Avoid salty meats if they are having this problem. Salty meats or salty canned food meats like tuna will stop up your cat for sure!
If you use clay litter make sure you use the unscented. Scented can irritate their pee track with synthetic chemicals leading to inflammation and UTI blockages. Never use clumping litter for cats; it can lead to blockages because cats can ingest it much easier. That can cause ingestion of sludge and bacteria leading to inflammation and UTI’s. Clumping litter is known to be extremely dangerous for kittens and not good for cats in general. Buy only fragrant free non-clumping litter, and then add one heaping tablespoon of baking soda mixed in per 10 pounds of cat litter that you use. It will naturally neutralize the smell; Just do not go beyond that because baking soda is really high in salt which is dangerous for cats if they ingest it more than a tiny amount by licking their paws each time using the litter box. I have used it for my cat and it works well, he actually prefers this litter combination. Baking soda is known to help aid and help get rid of UTI’s. Never give it to your cat other than in the litter! Additionally, use feline pine litter and add it to your litter with several handfuls to add a nice fragrant smell. A little goes a long way to just supplement the litter.
Also, consider buying "cranimals" from amazon. It is a cranberry extract that helps the kidneys and gets rid of UTI problems. Put 1/4 teaspoon in two small cans of wet cat food or equivalent to that with one big can. You can also wash out an old salt and peppershaker to sprinkle a decent amount in their food. Any amount more than that I have noticed they will not eat it. Putting cranimals cranberry powder in their food will help keep their pee acidic to break down crystals.
Additionally, "Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth" helps assist in UTI treatment sold on Amazon. It is a "diuretic" thus helps people and animals urinate 30% more to empty the bladder to keep crystals from forming. Completely safe for cats with no limitations of consumption and has no salt in it. Cats tolerate it because it has almost no taste. Just be careful not to breathe it in by getting it dusted up in the air because it is dangerous to breathe it in. Make sure to only use "Food Grade."Use at least about 1/4 teaspoon per small can wet cat food. Lastly, I have learned of a brand called "tinkle tonic" from chewy or amazon that some claim helped their cats.
Finally, consider your cat’s stress level. Stress could be another factor that can lead to inflammation of the bladder area. Try to ensure he has enough to do to keep happy.

You mixed it with water or nah?
just wanna come back here and say that im so thankful i found this when i needed it the most! the other day my cat couldn’t pee (for almost 24hrs).after i saw this vid, i lit went out to search for acv even tho it was alrdy so late in the night (a reminder to myself to always have a stock of home remedies) our small town doesn’t have it but, i found a mart in the neighbouring town that’s selling acv. anw, i put acv in my cat’s wet food, then i also made him drink fr a syringe (1:1 water and acv). i fed and made him drink around 12 midnight and then around 5am he finally peed! then he peed again at 7 and 10am. i still contacted the vet and they advised me to observe him and make him drink more water. rn, he’s doing well. i decided to feed him more wet and homemade cat foods fr now on. thank u so much! this vids really a life saver
I am so happy he is feeling better and this video helped you! Thanks for coming back to tell us the good news!
thank you for sharing 🙏🏻 how many ML did you give? is it 1ml:1ml?
Thank you so much for making this video! My cat wasn’t peeing at all but now he is!!! :)
So happy to hear that!
Thank you so much!!!!! My cat had been blocked two weeks ago, took him to the vet, and they did catheterisation and yet again he got blocked and drs were closed, i came across your video and i gave him the same dosage u gave your cat, my cats peeing in drops now better than nothing!!
Hope he continues to improve ❤️🩹
THANK you for this video - we don't live anywhere near a vet and you just saved my cats life...He was passing a teeny bit of urine but this worked really well, and I have added some chamomile tea to his food for moisture, as well as giving the Fancy Feast that you have recommended.
I'm glad to hear he is doing better!
I just tried it 2hrs ago in the middle of the night. My cat is purring like crazy now like his mood suddenly went up! I hope i no longer need to take him to vet later. Thanks! I hope he continues to feel better.
Dude! This saved my cats life. I am absolutely blown away! Our cat almost died, and the vet wanted over 3K$ which is insanity. The vet gave him less than a day to live, pushing us to pay for him to be put down if we couldn’t pay the 3-4K, but I found this video after frantically scouring the net for other options. He hates the stuff, but after a few days of giving him small doses (2ml 2x a day for 2 days so far) he is peeing and starting to play. THANK YOU!!!
I am so glad to hear this prevented him from being put down. 💜
2ml with water? Or pure ACV?
@@jamjam7517 best to mix 50/50 with water.
@@FarmDad yup, I did 50/50… I didn’t use organic braggs, just plain clear stuff diluted. Shoulda mentioned that part..
Just to report back, our cat is 100% back to normal now… we are feeding him more wet food and cranberry powder treats.
Does ur cat also withdrawn to eat?
Thank you for this. I used a straw instead of a syringe and it was a straight shot (didnt have a syringe). He was very unhappy with me, but I'm glad we have a start somewhere. Like most, I cannot afford 3k for treatment. I mixed dry urinary tract food with wet food and water on a plate for him, he is at least eating/drinking the mixture (he wasnt eating before). Fingers crossed 🤞. Thank you thank you thank you 🙏.
I wish to know about apple vinegar earlier. The second time my cat had urinary blockage. The biggest stress for me is seeing the bills. Thank you so much for sharing your experience.
Glad I searched for this! My cat is going through this as we speak. Poor little guy. I’m going to try all this remedies right now. Thank you for video!
Hope he improves quickly!

So that cost me 700 I don't ahve that kind of money even of I make good money a day n I am nkt going thru that again after the dog 6 days later ya think they'd give me a break ans help me out. I can get a while of a cashier for cats kts an oval one and try to flush it. But that's of he Wil.let me.

I'm praying with all my heart that this will help my dear Suka. She's only about 9 months old. I took her to the vet early and expressed my concerns. They took her temp, told me it was really high, charged me $60, and sent me home. Days go by it's getting worse. Call the vet. Sorry we don't have any open times available. I'm like my cats going to die. They don't care. Now it's worse. I can't afford a vet emergency room trip or anything and I also couldn't bare to lose her. She's my family and she's the sweetest kitty ever. I hope and pray to hear her meows for many years to come. I'll follow up with the results. We welcome all your positive thoughts.
I sincerely hope this helps her too. And I'm sorry you have had such bad experiences with your vet. That's awful. Be well, Suka, be well.
I hope your cat is doing well now. 💗
Please let us know if your cat is doing okay now
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video! My cat couldn't even pee one single drop this morning so I rushed him to the vet. They did some blood work, urine sample, and x-ray on him (total added up to about $900 because California is expensive). Fortunately, he wasn't in any life threatening situation, but the tip of his private part was still blocked. The animal hospital wanted to give him catheter and overnight stays at the hospital, which would have added another $1700. Thankfully I came across your video when I was waiting for his results, so I told the hospital I would take him home first. I immediately gave him about 5ml of organic apple cider vinegar when I got home (I put it on his paws, back, and tails so he licked them off naturally), and 5 minutes later he peed!!! He then peed again a bit more afterwards. He even started to drink water from his little fountain. I cannot thank you enough for creating this video to share this information.
My husband said he wished I would have given the apple cider vinegar to my cat without spending the $900 on blood work and examination, but I know it's better to be on the safe side and run some tests to make sure my cat was not in any sort of extreme condition (also I didn't find your video until I already took him to the vet). We avoided spending another $1700 thanks to you! God bless you for sharing this information 🙏
That's great! Thanks for sharing! I'm glad to hear this saved you so much money! And I'm glad your cat is recovering!
@@FarmDad Quick update: I ended up having to take my cat to his regular vet for a catheter, but it was not as expensive as the ER on Sunday that wanted to charge $1700. The apple cider vinegar did help him for a few days, and of course I am doing more research on cat food to make sure him and his brothers won't have the same problem in the future. Thank you again for sharing this information, I'm definitely recommending your video to any cat owner I know who needs to know about this remedy!
how's your cat? I hope he feels better now
@@jessicaHcat sorry to hear he needed to go back in. Wishing him well ❤️🩹.
@@edgardovalerio6256 Thank you, he's doing better after the catheter. I'm keeping an eye on him every time he uses the litter box, making sure he is peeing normally.
We ended up with a nearly 5k vet bill from an emergency visit for this. It was a sunday so regular vets were closed. I'm worried it might be starting again, and today is friday... might have to try this.
Thank you for making this video. My cat was acting off this past Saturday and I ignored it thinking he's just being silly. Sunday morning he was running around my house, with increased vocalization, and trying to urinate in inappropriate areas (outside of his litter box). I knew something was wrong. I took him to an ER vet and fortunately they said he wasn't blocked, but he could be later on. They gave sent us home with a few meds and a $400 vet bill. I'm planning to change him to a half wet/half dry diet now, but was wondering if you think apple cider vinegar is okay to include in his food? And if so, how much and how often? I'd seen online someone suggest cranberry powder as a daily supplement, but feel like ACV is a stronger solution
I used same method, added very little water and the rest apple cider . Within a few minutes my cat went to the litter and it was like an explosion! :O Just within minutes, I don't know how it was so fast and effective. I'll keep monitoring her and see if any other changes. For now, she seems to be doing better, and she's finally resting a little.
I am glad to hear she was able to go! Hope she feels better soon!
Is normal vinegar ok
Thank you Farm Dad! You’re truly a lifesaver. I have had my baby boy Loki (marble bengal) on the verge the D word for going on 5 weeks. We paid crazy emergency vet bills with money we didn’t have, we were told he had a blood clot in his penis, there was no blockage or crystals but they just cleared out the clot with a catheter and doped him up and sent him home. With pain pills and muscle relaxer, for two weeks. He wasn’t really responsive and worried he wouldn’t make. I called every vet in the valley to find a retired vet that asked to him home to help me. He finally put Loki on antibiotics and anti inflammatory pills. I have had to give him this for 3 weeks which helped but he can’t live on antibiotics so now that I’ve stopped him he went down hill quick. Two days…came home tonight and he was swollen and not peeing again. So I tried your method and it’s starting to work! Thank god, thank you! It’s really hard to get it in him, he fights so hard. The first round I think I got more down, second round got maybe 2-3 ml out of 5ml. He is pretty hip to my methods of giving it to him with syringe. How can I mask it without him smelling the vinegar? Bengals are sooooo picky! Again! Thank you so much!
Now that you have a couple good doses in him, I would just put it on his fur for him to lick off if he needs more. I hope he continues to improve. He sounds like a tough case. Keep him hydrated. Good luck.
@@FarmDad how do you make a car drink water. I mean he drinks just probably not enough. I bought a fountain and he won’t use it. He loves to drink out of my cups so I have a tall cup full of fresh water daily that he drinks. He just is peeing like normal, poor little man! He had been running around more today so maybe we are on to something
@BIB77578 HI! this is probably too late but if you're still having issues, put water in his food! More specifically, spring water
Just wanted to echo what a lot of other people have said. My male cat was blocked on a couple of different occasions. Vet bills were really adding up. Last time I took him in he had to stay overnight $$$$$. A few days after I brought him home he was having issues again despite the medication he was prescribed. This acv method is a godsend! I use equal parts organic acv and water and use the syringe to administer. Works every time, usually within an hour with one full syringe. I think the key is not to wait too long. Clean your litter box often, so you’ll notice if it hasn’t been used and if you notice your cat straining to urinate try this method.
Yes! Perfect advice 👍 thank you!
Thanks for the info. We just spent 1,500 for an emergency visit with our cat. I drink 1 tablespoon of organic cider vinegar with in a glass of water alternating with lemon juice every day. Didn’t know cider vinegar was safe for cats. Will start using it on our cat. I grew up on a farm in the 60’s, happy to see young people farming!👍🏻
It's a good lifestyle and a great way to raise kids
Thanks! I always use them. I think it was the magic of editing or something that makes it appear that I didn't in this video.

@@FarmDad thank you so much xx
FYI… 1/2 teaspoon of honey and 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, mix well per 10 lbs, twice a day. If they tolerate that, it can be adjusted up to closer to a teaspoon of both twice a day.
My little black cat, Kat-boy had a complete blockage and was wailing when I picked him up last Thursday. I had noticed him straining to pee a couple of days before. We rushed him to the Vet, where they placed a urethral catheter in him to unblock and drain his bladder… and had 2 IVs on his arms-one for fluids and the other for-antibiotic I think. The bill was $1,400+ already and each additional overnight stay would be another $90. Well, with 15 other rescue cats at home, we couldn’t afford that and brought him home-seeing as the blockage was cleared. They told us he could “re-block”… but we took the chance and took him home. They supposedly gave him an antibiotic shot good for 2 weeks, while waiting for his urinalysis and urine culture to come back. In the meantime, he was prescribed Hills Diet UT Care dry food (which he will not eat-very expensive! $50 for an 8lb bag!) and their wet canned purée food, which he likes. When we brought him home, he was peeing like a siv… and I noticed it was frothy and very clear, no smell. The labs came back (after having to bring him in again, because they lost his first urine sample)… and they said 25-50 rod-shaped bacteria were present-most likely e.coli… and they need to put him on a stronger antibiotic because the shot wasn’t doing it’s job and now he has a UTI. I was just about to give the first dose-Zeniquin 25 mg-but it’s in pill form, so while I was dissolving it in a spoonful of warm water to mix in a chicken purée treat, I was researching Zeniquin on “Dr Google”. I came across some disturbing info: “may cause temporary or permanent blindness in CATS, so administer with caution”… ??? “May cause diarrhea, vomiting, lack of appetite, lethargy”… that’s disturbing-I tossed out the medicine. My friend, who also has a lot of cats (15), suggested for me to research home remedies for cats with UTI and drugs ending in “-quin”…
This video is the first I saw that popped up when searching for “home remedy cat UTI”… I knew that raw-unfiltered vinegar had medicinal properties for us humans and I actually have a bottle of Bragg Organic, but when I read comments of the people on here whose cats were saved with this-I’m thinking, wow-that $1400+ Vet bill probably could have been better used for food, kitty litter, etc… if I had seen this video prior to going to the Vet, which is 45 mins away!! While waiting for the labs to come back (3-5 days), I asked the Vet if I could get an OTC supplement that would help with the UTI while waiting-I’m thinking, something with cranberry-like I was told to drink if ever I got a UTI. I found a powder, called Solid Gold Berry Balance at Petsmart-it “promotes optimal urinary tract health and function”… I’ve been giving 1/8 tsp twice a day as instructed-I mix it with the chicken purée treat he loves so much and he has been peeing good-not frothy-not taking over 3 mins to finish peeing… so in my mind, this is working for him!
In retrospect, I was wondering why the Vet didn’t want to give him a urinalysis to see if the UTI cleared (from being on this cranberry powder supplement for 5 days through Christmas)… before prescribing this harsh Zeniquin-that he’s supposed to take for 14 days!! I’m not going to give it to him-they had me at “blindness”… and even “possible seizures”… I’m going to purchase an OTC alkalinity test kit to check Kat-boy’s urine’s pH… Any additional advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for posting this video. I will definitely try it if ever Kat-boy gets blocked again… Blessings to you and your fur babies, Farm Dad!
I do not have any additional advice. It sounds like you are well researched and Kat boy is well on his way. Blessings to you and him as well!
I think my cat is going through this rn. He seems to be struggling to urinate. We had just got him unblocked about a few weeks ago. Gonna try this and hope all goes well. Last time he got this he didn't do so well. He is only 2 years old... I don't wanna have to say goodbye yet. I'll give a update on him later.
Update: he took the cider this morning and today around 4 pm it was like the flood gates just broke. He peed everywhere! I'm glad he all relieved but rn he is just uncontrollably peeing everywhere. I think he'll be with us a bit longer ☺️
Omg you give me hope … my Marley is lethargic and really ill as of yesterday he won’t eat or drink but I got a good amount of the acv in him … just watching and waiting … I haven’t slept
@@rachoneill7904 I hope Marley pulls through! My cat made me upset the first time. If your cats starts to not move much at all and seems to be almost sleepy then You must get him to a vet immediately. My scout the first time ended up like that. (Some vets do emergency funds if you can't pay. They wanna help you not rob you)
@@alliem4473 we had to put him down 4 days ago… I’m completely devastated.💔
@@rachoneill7904 I’m sorry for you lost :( I’m worried about mine
@@rachoneill7904 vet charged me so much money and it still didn’t help. Can’t afford another visit so trying this route
instead of straight vinegar, mix or at the back of syringe put cod liver oil to coat the esophagus and protect from too much acidic reaction. A lot of studies show very low rates of UTIs with these symptoms. Most are stones...and the vinegar yes! GREAT idea.:) Thanks
If you have any links to the studies you mention, I would love to see them! Thank you!
I have a paralyzed kitty and I believe he is blocked however I have no money for vet . He isn't showing signs of discomfort but bladder is hard and isn't peeing I can't go to a vet they have all said no to payment plans so this video is all I got !!!! I'm going to give this a shot thank you for sharing this I'll keep you posted
I sincerely hope this helps him. 🤞🙏
Thank you for this helpful video. New diagnosis for my Theo and even though we’ve been to the vet his episodes are always in the middle of the night. I was getting ready to put him in the carrier to drive 30 min to the hospital (which would have made him way worse due to stress), but he started peeing. Next time this happens, I know I have more options which is a prayer answered!
Glad he went before you left for the hospital!
Please, this may be a good emergency type "treatment" but put your cat on a high quality wet food diet that is mainly comprised of meat.
Get hill c/d need a prescription for it but is designed for cats with flutd
Thank you for making this video!!! I gave my baby MoMoMonroe some apple cider vinegar just like you did in the first part of the video! She knew we were helping her 😻 She had a pee clump biggest I’ve seen in 2 days! It was the size of a gum-ball after the treatment! ❤
What is the brand of ACV you used? Any brand will do?
Any brand organic with the mother
Over my cat's eight years of life i've spent around six thousand dollars on vet bills to treat my cat's urinary problems. I can no longer afford this in any capacity, and it is a blessing to see something trying to help without simply shaming us into feeling guilty for being unable to afford such a vet bill. I just tried the syringe-feeding method of apple cider vinegar as you'd demonstrated in this video, and within two minutes my cat vomited up the wet food dinner we'd just given him moments before. I'm going to try the method(s) I'd just read in "2020 Binoculars" comment, but I really hope my boy turns out alright.
Wishing him well. Yes, ACV isn't very palatable. I like 2020 Binoculars advice.
You can also buy acv pills
Just an update: It's been 10 days since I took the video's advice and my cat's health is fully up to scratch. I would encourage anyone to disseminate this info to their cat loving relations and to show their appreciation to @FarmDad for saving both cats lives and for saving their owners a ton of money. Bravo FarmDad, Bravo.!
Wow! Thank you so much for your kindness! I am thrilled your cat is doing better! Wishing you both the very best!!!
My beloved young male cat was afflicted with a stress induced acute UTI on Sunday. Thank God I found your video. I gave him 5 ml acv diluted 1:1 twice within a few hours....and finally he peed a little while in pain, but then a lot. He peed all over my couch. He could pee all over the couch, the carpet, the whole house, I don't care. Just to see him relieved and happy and knowing he's going to make it...and I am so thankful to you for making this video and saving my cat! Also thank you to the people who wrote it in with their stories to give me hope. He was still straining for the next 12 hours or so, little trickles again, but I continued to administer the ACV dose twice daily, along with unsweetened cranberry, a couple drops of echinacea tincture and a couple drops of vervain tincture. I just fed him some homemade chicken broth with a tiny pinch of turmeric powder for inflammation (plus giving him the homeopathic UTI drop 3x daily. He's napping in front of a sunny window and listening to Debussy.
Thank you for writing in! I love hearing that he is doing better and is a connoisseur of fine music. ❤️🩹😀
So in total you gave him 10ml acv diluted within a day for the blockage?
@@TeleeFONE Yes...after living through the whole experience and have now come out the other side with a very healthy cat, I would do this again if I had absolutely no alternative. It did hurt my cat's throat and digestion to have to ingest that vinegar mixture and you should really try to get someone to hold him so that you can inject it into his mouth as slowly as possible. Too fast and he can aspirate (breath in the solution) BUT it broke up my male cat's blockage within a few hours and I administered it once more the next day. Then began the journey into other holistic treatments. I recommend these 3 medicines: UTI Warrior by Nature Petz. A game changer. It was the last remedy I used after successive relapses over the next few weeks and it cleared up his condition completely (I followed the directions and gave it to him for 3 months). It literally dissolved all the debris in his urinary tract. (and hydrated his food a bit more) Plus, Tinkle Tonic by Animal Essentials. Excellent for healing the UT and helping with getting the flow going. Also, Uro-Cleanse by Vitality Science, plus a pro-biotic also helped greatly in improving the root causes of the problem. Also, I changed some bad habits and re-adjusted his raw diet which I was making at home. (I recommend Paws of Prey as the best guide for homemade raw but follow the guides very strictly) OR you can I had taken him to a vet who wanted me to put him on a special canned diet and who was also hostile about the natural treatments. I wonder why? $$$$
This was in March. Now its nearly August. My cat is in perfect health. I give him a daily maintenence dose of URO-CLeanse once a day plus pro-biotics and one capsule of Real Mushrooms Cordyceps mushrooms for Cats and Dogs. If you don't feed raw but want to, this will really make a difference in the long term. Vive Raw is the best commercial raw food formula. Wishing your cat the best. This video saved my cat's life.
@@TeleeFONE Yes, in total 10 ml acv diluted. 5 acv, 5 water.
@@TeleeFONE Yes. 5 ml acv diluted in 5ml water. 1:1
My beautiful 2 year old boy, T'Challa (yes I am a big "Black Panther" fan) started peeing everywhere but his litter box a few days ago. I didn't realize that was a red flag. Today, he stopped producing urine all together. My heart would break watching him as he would squat for several minutes trying to pee with no urine at all coming out. I called every ER in my area, but unless I had a credit card, cash for the full bill or "pet credit" no one would see him. My husband found this video and we gave T'Challa 5ml of undiluted ACV. Within an hour and a half I noticed a quarter-sized puddle of pink pee and a long white "plug" along with it. Within 3 hours T'Challa was peeing more. We will be giving him another dose but will dilute the ACV with water this time. THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY FUR BABY'S LIFE.
I am glad to hear this great news!
Hey Farm dad.. you saved yet another cat today.
Our male cat had racked up $7000 of bills this year due to urinary problems. We took the cat off his special diet for just a few days and the urinary problems got critically bad FAST. We were at our wit's end and the end of our money supply due to this cat and would have probably ended up putting him down.
I dipped the cat's paws in ACV a few times and he licked it off. We waited an hour, and nothing.. so we went to the vet wondering if this was a life or death situation. Well, he peed in the carrier on the way there! I need a new car seat, but the cat lived.
Let me give you a tip about 'cat water'. We live in Utah and the PH of our city water is 8 due to it being 'hard', which is rather alkaline - enough to leave a permanent rim of minerals around the cat dish. I got some PH test strips and found that both distilled water and filtered water ( coming out of our 'zero water' filter ) were both ~PH 6.7, so a tiny bit more acidic than usual. The cats no longer drink unfiltered city water.
So glad he is better. That is good info about the water. We are on a well and the water is very hard. Our cat had never had any urinary issues before we moved here, so I think you are onto something.
@@FarmDad I've read many things about cats not hydrating well and needing to have a more 'acid' environment in their digestive system than we do. it sort of makes sense why ACV works so well, but my question is how can it work so fast!
We did have him on a diet that helped him manage. Some expensive perscription stuff. It was different than normal cat food only because it had lower minerals. Why not just lower the minerals in the water? could be a good prevention protocol!!
Took my Kiwi to the vet a few months ago cause of a blockage and they told tried to charge us around 4-5k for the exam/procedure or to pretty much say our good byes to her so we took her home and gave her some purina hydracare and the homeopet uti drops and luckily that helped. Fast forward to the day before yesterday she began straining again, this time the same products weren’t working and she would cry in pain and I came across this video and it worked! It took about an hour before she showed any signs of relief. Thank you, you saved my Kiwi!!
I am so happy this was successful for her. ❤️🩹❤️🩹
Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!! My cat is feeling so much better with one dose. I gave it to him yesterday morning when I got home from work and today when I got home from work my husband said he’s feeling better cause he wasn’t meowing at night. I’m so happy my fur baby is doing better. Thank you!!!
I love hearing this!
Thank you so so so much❤
My cat stopped peeing and I didn’t know what to do except for going to a vet. Came to UA-cam searched for a home remedi and came accross your video. Three doses of 5 ml ACV and my cat started peeing within 6 hours. Although It's a little bit each time but I am hoping it will increase. God bless you❤
I hope it increases as well ❤️🩹❤️🩹
An older, country Veterinarian in S.C., told me 20 yrs ago, when I was having this problem with my cats, to start giving them DISTILLED WATER only!! He said the minerals in water were causing the crystals to form in thier bladder. Then the uretha would produce a substance to line it, to protect it from the sharp crystals. Then the substance would end up blocking the opening!! So I immediately switched to distilled water and NEVER had a blocked cat again!! Like I said, he was an old country Vet and truly cared about the animals more than the money ( I was shocked at how low his prices were! He said that he wanted everybody to be able to afford to bring thier pets to him, so the pets wouldn't have to suffer💝) Anyway, unfortunately he is retired now and I will always be grateful to him for sharing his wisdom everytime I took my cats to see him! We eventually bought a stainless steel countertop distiller and distill our own water. ( It is gross the stuff that is left, after a gallon is distilled!!) It cost $200 and has well paid for itself!! ps..If your cat is blocked now, take it to the Vet, but after it is unblocked start it on distilled water. If your cat is not blocked, start it on distilled water now! And please remember plastic dishes are bad for your pets! Only use stainless steel or glass dishes for water and food.
@@hateisbad yes, minerals from hard water are definitely a leading cause of blocked cats. Dry cat food is another. Thank you for posting your experience. Best to you!
Thank you poster. This is very helpful advice.
I’ll pass it along. 🙏. And I will try this myself.
This was very helpful. Since yesterday my cat was straining to pee and it's not her first time. Her first time was a horror story and I really couldn't go through the whole process again with the vet and all. I gave this method a shot and in about half an hour she peed. Thank you so much.
Is it okay to use regular vinegar and not apple cider vinegar?
Can you put it in their food and is normal vinegar ok.
@@dominiquefalculan5317For anyone wondering, not all vinegar is the same! The video talks specifically about real apple cider vinegar…NOT white vinegar, which is totally different thing.
You are a nice man, kind, thorough yet simple video. Going to use your advice for our cat experiencing a second episode of possible problem. First time a few months ago cost us $1500 and hoping this works. Thank-you. Liked and subscribed
I hope it works for your cat too! I hate how much it costs to have a cat catheterized and professionally treated. Thanks!
Here is some additional information for you that has helped me:
Rub Organic raw unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar with "the Mother" on their fur (cat's sides) or the top of their paws. They will lick it off. Use at least two tablespoons in a day or if necessary a few days in an emergency for cats. For very young cats reduce that amount to one tablespoon. For kittens use only a teaspoon. Rub the organic apple cider vinegar on each side of their fur or the top of their paws until you see them have relief. Remember to shake the bottle first. If you have a wild cat that doesn’t take orders, then douse him with a good bit in a small glass. A lot will bead of his fur. Also, they will not be able to lick off the entirety of it all at once. Organic apple cider vinegar will start to go into immediate action for the cat to get relief from the blockage. It saved my cat that was pissing blood and then could not pee while squatting all the time. Also, it helps get rid of UTI bacteria; Walmart sells it. Ideally, it is best to use organic apple cider vinegar because it tastes rather good and is much more tolerable for the cat to ingest it compared to the filtered kind which tastes horrible.
Remember only to use the organic apple cider vinegar as necessary. Too much too often could lead to an ulcer. From my experience a couple tablespoons a week has not hurt my cat. If it is a real emergency you could go beyond that just do not let it come to a habit of more than that each week. Keep in mind; you will likely have reoccurring bouts with this for a while. That is why I recommend some other preventative measures as you read on below:
Keep in mind that it is important to ensure cats, when feeling normal, get enough water to keep their system flowing. Ensure they eat wet cat food over dry for the moisture content, Consider temporarily stopping the cat from eating dry food or even permanently if necessary. Too much dry food leads to blockages with lack of hydration compared to canned cat food. Try putting some added bit of water in their wet food. Avoid salty meats if they are having this problem. Salty meats or salty canned food meats like tuna will stop up your cat for sure!
If you use clay litter make sure you use the unscented. Scented can irritate their pee track with synthetic chemicals leading to inflammation and UTI blockages. Never use clumping litter for cats; it can lead to blockages because cats can ingest it much easier. That can cause ingestion of sludge and bacteria leading to inflammation and UTI’s. Clumping litter is known to be extremely dangerous for kittens and not good for cats in general. Buy only fragrant free non-clumping litter, and then add one heaping tablespoon of baking soda mixed in per 10 pounds of cat litter that you use. It will naturally neutralize the smell; Just do not go beyond that because baking soda is really high in salt which is dangerous for cats if they ingest it more than a tiny amount by licking their paws each time using the litter box. I have used it for my cat and it works well, he actually prefers this litter combination. Baking soda is known to help aid and help get rid of UTI’s. Never give it to your cat other than in the litter! Additionally, use feline pine litter and add it to your litter with several handfuls to add a nice fragrant smell. A little goes a long way to just supplement the litter.
Also, consider buying "cranimals" from amazon. It is a cranberry extract that helps the kidneys and gets rid of UTI problems. Put 1/4 teaspoon in two small cans of wet cat food or equivalent to that with one big can. You can also wash out an old salt and peppershaker to sprinkle a decent amount in their food. Any amount more than that I have noticed they will not eat it. Putting cranimals cranberry powder in their food will help keep their pee acidic to break down crystals.
Additionally, "Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth" helps assist in UTI treatment sold on Amazon. It is a "diuretic" thus helps people and animals urinate 30% more to empty the bladder to keep crystals from forming. Completely safe for cats with no limitations of consumption and has no salt in it. Cats tolerate it because it has almost no taste. Just be careful not to breathe it in by getting it dusted up in the air because it is dangerous to breathe it in. Make sure to only use "Food Grade."Use at least about 1/4 teaspoon per small can wet cat food. Lastly, I have learned of a brand called "tinkle tonic" from chewy or amazon that some claim helped their cats.
Finally, consider your cat’s stress level. Stress could be another factor that can lead to inflammation of the bladder area. Try to ensure he has enough to do to keep happy.

@@Binoculars-ot6xu i see you everywhere in these comments so may i ask what you mean specifically by "dousing" them in the acv ? i want to try it since she hates me putting it on her paws and would never let me feed it to her, but i'd like to know the most effective way/amount first
@@ofcourseuwont
What I mean by "dousing" is that you place the Organic Apple Cider Vinegar in a small glass and you chuck it on their fur. Ideally try aiming for your cat's side fur area where they can easy lick it up while grooming the liquid off themselves.Cat's are obviously tidy animals, and they do not like to have wetness or any foreign substances on their body. They will lap it up and groom themselves after you " douse" them or chuck the liquid on them. Pouring it on them when they are resting is just as effective. I would actually recommend pouring on them before chucking it on them. Cats are quite smart though; my cat is wily. He got more wise to my ways when I did this to him over a longer period of time. So, sometimes I had to chuck it on him in an emergency rather than pouring it on him or rubbing it into his fur while trying to hold him down.
I would normally recommend just rubbing two tablespoons on the sides of their body fur area by cupping a tablespoon at a time in your hand. Though, since your cat is more intolerant or wild like mine, then just douse them or pour it on them which is ultimately just as effective.
It is important to note that at least half the amount in the glass will bead off their fur and not stick since you would be chucking it from a glass on them rather than hand rubbing it into their fur. That is why from my experience I say to place a good bit in the glass, meaning like at least double the amount of the two tablespoons of which I normally recommend. So, I would use five tablespoons in this instance. Now, obviously if you were able to rub it in better then you could reduce that amount back to just two tablespoons. Even pouring it on them, I would still go with four tablespoons because half of the amount usually beads of their fur unless you were to rub it in their fur a little at a time.
Also, do not worry about using the excess amount in these types of emergency situations. Half will bead off them as I have stated; furthermore, they will not be able to lick it entirely off their fur in one time anyhow. So, it is actually quite nice that they get to lap up a good bit the first day, yet still are able to get smaller increments of the organic ACV the following few days.
The overall goal is to use preventative measures besides just using organic apple cider vinegar in emergency situations. That is why I went into further detail about what has helped my cat not need the Organic Apple Cider nearly as often or if at all. There are a lot of factors that cause our cats to have this problem, but addressing them can greatly lessen the chance of a repeat occurrence or an emergency situation.
Lastly, please remember that I have always used organic apple cider vinegar. If you ever tasted the difference as I have, then you would know how terrible the regular filtered kind tastes compared to the organic. The regular filtered kind is a lot more harsh to swallow down. The regular kind has been known to make cats froth at the mouth. So, I would always go with the organic unless you were absolutely desperate to use the other regular filtered kind.
@@Binoculars-ot6xu thank you!! you are an amazing person
My female cat gets stressed by the other cats and sometimes gets cystitis , I give her ACV diluted with water in her wet cat food, also in tuna brine or canned salmon juice in her food , I also have D-Mannose powder , I put 1/2 teaspoon in with her wet food and a bit extra water because she does not drink water much, I am in England and the vets are so expensive
I will look into d- mannose. Thanks for the tip!

@@Davi1na that is wonderful to hear! Thanks for letting us know!
This was an absolute miracle for our 8 year old male! He had a blockage 3 years ago, rushed him to the vet not knowing what was wrong and spent $1300 to unblock him. We were told if it happened again he would need surgery $3000-5000. He started to show the same symptoms again and was not peeing about 5 days ago. I cried and frantically searched online for anything knowing we could not go through with the surgery and would have to let him go. I came across your video and my husband rushed to the store and bought apple cider vinegar as well as homeopet for UTI. We gave two doses of diluted 5mL ACV over an hour and half and put him in our bathroom with wet food, water, and a no dust litter around midnight. The next morning at 7am he was covered in a pee/blood mixture. We started giving doses of homeopet as well as two more doses of diluted ACV over the next 24 hours. I noticed when he was in the litter box he was peeing out mucus. We stopped the ACV last night and this evening he energized, there’s pee in the litter box, he’s eating and drinking and is acting like himself again. Your advice saved my little buddy. Thank you so much for posting this video! Im so grateful we stumbled across it and have more time with our cuddly little guy. My 4 year old son has recently become attached to him and was blaming himself for him getting sick. He thought sleeping with him at night was the problem. He is going to cry with happiness to see he’s okay! Thank you again!!!!
You have absolutely made my day. Thank you for telling me your story! I'm so glad he is better!
