Senior cat with possible bladder issues

[MarijkeH]

TG - fluffy grey and white roughly 19 - 20 year old.
Behaviour - restless and peeing/dribbling on everything
Appetite is still good - now eating only raw frozen meats with tripe
TG started with the problem about 5 days ago - although I was not aware of it at the time - Thursday evening (South Aus time) we started her on D-Mannose (roughly 0.5g) - which seemed to somewhat relieve the situation. However she is now 'dribbling' on everything in sight and is even more restless.
Other than visiting a vet - which is presently looking like the only option - Is there any other at home treatment and/or symptoms to look out for.

Appetite is still good

Yay, good work helping her live to 19+!

Has she had any recent blood or urine testing?

Regardless, you may want to add 1 tsp-1tbsp. structured water to her food (or in her water bowl) to help support her bladder and kidneys.

1 pinch vitamin C/meal will also help.

And most important is optimizing her energy balance. You can do this by helping her feel joy every 2-4 hours and/or working with a vet homeopath.

Lucky TJ to have you loving her.

I second Dr. Jeff's suggestion to work with a veterinary homeopath. Read article to help find and evaluate one - many in Aus work virtually.

In the resource library, click on Urinary System. Take the 101 basic course. Listen to the Anitra Frazier webinar.

Flower essences can be very soothing - simply rescue remedy, or some of the Australian essences, or see if the following will send bladder essence combos to Aus: JacksonGalaxy.com, greenhopeessences.com, petessences.com. Choose one that your intuition guides you to.

Thank you Dr Jeff for the quick response. No, TG has not had any blood or urine testing.
Although interested I have not yet purchased a mechanism for structured water - do you have any recommendations?
Ever grateful for HA!
