Yeast are among the few living organisms that do not need oxygen in order to produce energy. This oxygen-independent state is called anaerobic (pronounced a-na-ROE-bik; without oxygen). During such anaerobic conditions, yeast convert carbohydratesâstarches and sugarsâto alcohol and carbon dioxide gas.
Most UTIs can be successfully treated with a course of antibiotics that lasts between 7 and 14 days. Antibiotics for dogs and cats, like Cephalexin or Clavamox, are the most common treatment for UTIs due to their ability to destroy and inhibit the growth of bacteria.
Regular consumption of citrus fruits like oranges also helps in preventing recurrent UTI as they cause acidification of the urine. You will also need continuous prophylaxis with drugs like nitrofurantoin to prevent UTI. This may go on for 6-12 months. Itâs good to know that your renal functions are good. Please do discuss with a urologist.
