My Maggie suffered from UTIβs and took antibiotics until I discovered d-mannose in a holistic pet care FB group. I now give her d-mannose and Cranimals cranberry/berry powder. I don't do it everyday though. Hereβs a link to the National Library of Medicine: D-MannoseIβm providing the conclusion so you donβt have to read the whole thing π βOur post hoc analysis shows that patients using d-mannose as monotherapy in AUC achieved very good clinical cure rates, similar to those achieved by patients receiving antibiotic treatments. Furthermore, symptom relief after 3 days of treatment was also comparable between d-mannose monotherapy and antibiotics. These findings are in line with previous studies showing similar effectiveness of d-mannose to that of antibiotics in UTI prevention. Therefore, d-mannose may be a safe and effective alternative to antibiotics in the treatment of AUC. However, further randomized, controlled trials including a relevant number of patients are necessary, in order to confirm the beneficial effect of d-mannose in AUC.β This is the brand I use for Maggie.

I used to suffer from UTI's quite often and since I only take antibiotics as a last resort, my first line of treatment was always D-mannose (I cannot stand the taste of cranberry juice). It worked 99% of the time -- the 1% being when I didn't start taking D-mannose soon enough or the bacteria spread to my bladder too fast to be effective. I haven't had an infection in years, but there are times I feel a little 'tingling' and pull my bottle of D-mannose out right away to make sure it doesn't progress. It tastes like powdered sugar so it's quite easy to take; I just have to be careful to not take too much or it will cause some digestive discomfort.

I'm glad it works for you! I try to use more holistic methods of healing when possible. I think we would be healthier as a society if we all did. Antibiotics don't work as well as they used to because they're overused.
