My 12 week old kitten has been having problems urinating for the last 2 days. She just wonders around trying to pee on everying, but only a drop comes out. She goes back and forth between our 2 litter boxes. Any suggestions on what to do to help her?

She has either a Urinary Tract Infection or Crystals in her water. What are you feeding her.
I recommend adding some apple cider vinegar to her drinking water, about 1/2 a lid to a small bowl full of water. You could give her some 100% pure coconut oil to eat, (it is expensive, but not as much as the vet bill, which I want to avoid) (I can recommend Nui brand - pronounced New) coconut oil has antibiotic properties, and can also be applied directly to the affected area.
Good luck

I haave 10 week old kittens right now and they are barely ever peeing on their own. I suggest you put the kitten with the mother whenever you find the little kittie trying to pee. The kittens that I have need to have their "parts" irritated by the roughness of the mothers tongue. The mother kitten cleans the mess as it is being made. It may sound a little crude and gross but it's nature. If the cat goes too long without peeing, he will die. I would take him to the vet if there is no mother who can help. It could be an infection. Good luck to you!!

Get a paper towel and moisten it with warm (not hot) water. Then take the moist towel and rub it lightly against her backside to stimulate her to go. This is what mother cats do to help their babies go. If that does not stimulate her, take her to the vet to determine if there is a blockage. Don't let this go very long before seeking help in case she has a kidney or bladder problem. Good luck.

It sounds like she has an urinary tract infection (UTI's). The best thing to do is to take her to the vet for some antibiotics. You can go to the grocery store and buy some special kitty litter meant to check for UTI's(our store Fred Meyers in the Seattle area carries this.) Some clay pellets turn blue if she has a UTI. But if it doesn't turn blue, I'd still take her to the vet because the littery isn't 100 percent effective. Our kitty Melvin has had many of these and he acts exactly like your sweet kitty is acting. I hope this helps.

Vet! Now! Yesterday, if possible!
Cats are notorious for urination problems. I fear that even if this was something like a mild infection, by letting it go on this long, the cat will have permanent urinary tract disorder, which will mean special food, regular vet visits, and the likelihood of a shortened life span. :(

my cat had the same problem. i took him to the vet and he had a urinary blockage. it can be fatal it not taken care of pretty quick. i think it happens in males more than females. if that's what it is you will have to put her on a special kind of food. if it has been going on for two days, you may want to get her to the vet tomorrow. don't wait too long.

Yes, take her to a vet as soon as possible! Your kitten may have an infection or other medical issues preventing her from urinating.
