Arctostaphylos uva ursi is a ground cover that grows abundantly in the Pacific Northwest. I became aware of uva ursi when it was prescribed as an alternative to my now ex in the early 70’s by the VA as an alternative to his blood pressure medication (because of side effects). I read up on it and educated myself about it.<br />Fast forward 10 years and I had run out of money to care for my cat’s urinary tract infection many hundreds of dollars. I looked at my cat dying on the floor. I went to the local herb store (Radiance, Olympia) bought some Uva Ursi and administered it to my cat. Within six hours his urinary tract started clearing and he was peeing.<br />Initially I administered it by tea. Big chance I took because here was a cat whose bladder was full up. Because of the chronic nature of cystitis I administered it several times after that until I changed his diet. I subsequently ground the leaves, stuffed emptied gelatin capsules full, smeared bacon grease on them and shoved them down Ike’s throat. <br />A heads up about Uva Ursi. It is a diuretic. That means along with everything else it does flush your system completely. It is not advised to take this more than two days in a row. Because you are flushing everything out of your system including other good things like potasium, etc.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06737006315157335518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-76586901189094482892013-02-19T13:14:00.113-06:002013-02-19T13:14:00.113-06:00I just read through Karma's ordeal.

Be thankful that Karma is female as it's far more risky for a male. My vet has put my guys on a prescription weight control duet though one of them is not exceptionally large and the other one is skinny. He feels it's the best option for cats with UTI issues. The brand is Royal Canin and can only be purchased at a veterinary clinic.. unlike other varieties of their foods. I give them the dry food and always pour about a quarter to a third of a cup of water over it to ensure that they get their liquids. They lick it off before eating. I ran out of food once, and changed their diet for a few days and that was a big mistake. As long as they stay on this food and the additional water, they do very well. I hope Karma is on the mend as I type.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-31944332392861847452013-02-18T22:42:01.827-06:002013-02-18T22:42:01.827-06:00Oh my, what a mess for Karma.
