Best cure for this is drink lots of water.

Cranberry works. We always have the pills on hand.

My bladder doesn’t empty because it dropped, and I would periodically get a bladder infection. I never knew it though, because I didn’t have any symptoms with them. I’d only find out when I had to give a urine sample with my fasting blood work every six months, or when I went to the urologist once a year. I started drinking Ocean Spray cranberry juice with my morning pills, specifically their diet (5 calorie) mixed-cranberry juices, ie., cran-cherry, cranblackberry, etc., and haven’t had an infection in several years now. I’m diabetic, and the 1g sugar Ocean Spray juices don’t play havoc with my blood sugar.

I generally recommend 500mg of amoxicillin every 8 or 12 hours for 3 to 7 days... almost always clears a UTI up... if it fails then keflex 250mg every 6hrs for 3 to 7 days.

and of course drink plenty of water...

As a young lieutenant I was acting Battalion Adjutant having to report medical status, the medic showed me his book with about 25 UTI cases. I asked VD? He said yes.

My Portuguese Podengo, Gypsy, used to get *horrible* UTIs for some reason, possibly because she squats so low and Clindamycin would knock them out in a couple days.

And by horrible, I mean *really* gruesome symptoms.

Well I have battled kidney stones all my life beginning at age 16 till I finally learned to drink water pretty much all day and once I started that as I tried all the remedies prescribed by a number of Doctors nothing really worked for long so for the last 12 years been cornering the market on bottled water and not had anymore stones..

If UTI symptoms present, I find that 2000 mg Vit C, 3 x daily, and lots of water, 3 to 4 qts a day for a couple days, generally take care of things.

I have a few boxes of Clindamycin chewables for animal use here..but they are out of date... it is a very commonly used veterinary med. My late brother in law had it stocked for the farm critters.

I keep doxycycline, amoxicillin, cephalexin and ampicillin here, they are common and cheap being off-patent... a small pharmacy box of 500 is generally less than 100.00

You are a person after my own heart.
I also have my own little critter pharmacy.
Don’t toss out the Clindamycin as the expiration dates are generally bogus.
Army studies showed that meds in stable tablet form were nearly as potent 50 or more years later.

That’s true but there are some meds that do weaken.. I believe tetracycline expiration dates are important... just something I remember reading somewhere..

We always kept such things in a small fridge at about 50-60F

They should never be too cold or too hot.
