		<description>Hi Punk, One of my cats is also prone to having crystals.  He is 4 years old.  He has only had 2 major cases where he ran to the litter box every 5 minutes for nothing and cried.  One time there was also blood in his urine.  There have also been a  few times where he would squat in the litter box funny enough to make me worry.  ACV has always worked.

The main thing to understand about ACV is that consuming a constant supply throughout the day is more important then how much ACV is actually being consumed.

The mixture I can get my cats to drink is 1/4 teaspoon of ACV for every 2 cups of water.  Any stronger, and my cats won&#039;t go near it.  My cats eat mostly dry food and they each drink about a whole cup of acv water every day.  This means 1/8 teaspoon acv per day is enough to heal my cat.  My friend is able to get her cat to drink 1 whole teaspoon of acv mixed in wet food given in meals throughout the day.  I wouldn&#039;t give a cat more than 1 teaspoon of it in a day.

The AVC almost always works for my cat within a couple of hours.  The times my cat showed signs of pain while urinating, I also gave him 1/6th of a capsule of Uva Ursi mixed in some wet food and, like clockwork, within 30 minutes he urinated a nice full stream.

I keep the daily ACV treatment going for at least a month.  For the past 6 months, I&#039;ve been trying to fill his bowls with an acv mix whenever I have time to do it (usually at least 2-3 days a week) and he hasn&#039;t had problems urinating since.  I should just keep it up everyday, but it doesn&#039;t seem to be necessary.

To monitor his drinking habits, I keep 2 bowls of water out in plain sight.  For example, one bowl is right on the coffee table in front of my couch where I and other family members spend a lot of time.  The other bowl in the doorway to my bedroom where my cat cannot resist taking a sip whenever he walks past it.  I don&#039;t keep any water near their food because I&#039;m never in that room.

If your cat won&#039;t lap up acv water like mine do, you can do sisca&#039;s suggestion of 1/2 teaspoon per cup of water and administering a syringe full in its mouth or wet food, but you should do this at least 3 times per day to keep a somewhat constant supply in the cat&#039;s system throughout the day.  

ACV will not interfere with antibiotics.  I also recommend getting some acidophilus to replenish your cat&#039;s gut with beneficial bacterial that the antibiotics are killing.  This is important so that your cat won&#039;t get sick if it comes into contact with any bad bacteria carried by people, other pets, insects, litter boxes, etc.  Capsules are best since you can open them and sprinkle about a 1/4 the capsule on wet or dry food.

Good luck!</description>

		<description>Hi,

Again this question is really a matter of life and death. I posted my question but no one has answered it.In regards to my cat of over 11 years old, who has an obstructed bladder, he can&#039;t pee. 1.  How much acv do I give with water and how often in the day do  I give this to the cat.  Therealowner.com posts the benefits of acv for uti but it does not explain what ratio of acv to water we should give.  2.If the cat has already an obstruction of crystals in the bladder can this acv remedy work?  Can acv remedy be given without stopping the vet medicine of antibiotics, and muscle relaxer? Can someone please answer my questions? thanks</description>

		<description>I have some questions regarding my male cat.  He has spent 4 days in the hospital and has had a catheter while at the clinic.  I brought him home with a catheter because the vet stated that his bladder is still been blocked by an infection in the urethra.  He has cystitis which is a urinary tract infection.  He had bled( I mean instead of urine he peed blood)  on dec. 17, on the 23 and then on the 31.  On the 17 and 23 he bled one day and then recovered.  On the 31 episode I waited but took him to the clinic on Monday.  He&#039;s been on an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory, on a muscle relaxer and vitamins etc on an IV and has had the catheter since Monday.  Can I start the ACV treatment now, he is still with a catheter and it won&#039;t be taken out till Sat.  He is not on Intravenous Fluids since he is home now.  The options the vet has given me are glum, to do surgery.  I need to know if others have also had the same experience.  The vet recommends to cut of his penis and turn the urethra out to form a vagina.  This is crazy, it is just a temporary solution to a problem.  I have read all the posts but I still do not know how much of the apple cider vinegar to put with water so that I can place this mixture in his food. He eats only wet food.  Can someone please help me please?  This is very urgent.</description>

		<description>Hi Elle Cox,
Apple Cider Vinegar should be made with organic apples and cold pressed.  Many ACV maker who make it for the purpose of pickling heat their Vinegar.  By heating the apple render, they are  killing the active minerals and enzymes.

		<description>Hi, I loved your article and just came home with a gallon of Ralph&#039;s (chain store) apple cider vinegar. Then I noticed the question and your answer re: all apple cider vinegar is organic and chain store ACV is really white vinegar so I called Ralph&#039;s Help Line on the label. The lady said, &quot;Let me see if I can find info.&quot; She flipped through some pages in a book, then read &quot;Ralph&#039;s ACV is made from apples then diluted with water to make it suitable for pickling.&quot; So, is the grocery store brand okay? Thanks</description>

		<description>Hi Jen,&lt;br /&gt;
I am not familiar with horse care and ACV but I did find the article below online.  I am posting the link and the article as well because some times the links don&#039;t copy properly from the comment area to the browser.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hope it helps,&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Horse Care – Mild Cure for Skin Conditions&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Full strength apple cider vinegar can be rubbed directly into the horse&#039;s skin around a ringworm infection.&lt;br /&gt;
Ringworm is an infection of the skin and hair by several types of fungi (not worms).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rub in thoroughly two or three times a day for several consecutive days. This is especially useful for ringworm infections that are too close to the eyes to use a copper wash.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thrush and other foot fungus infections can be greatly reduced by a regular spray or soak application of apple cider vinegar to the sole and frog of your horse&#039;s feet. By making the hoof area more acidic, fungus is no longer able to grow well there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A general horse hoof soaking solution can be prepared by adding 1/4 cup (60 ml) of apple cider vinegar to one gallon (3.8 liters) of water.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The vinegar application will, at the same time, speed up the healing of any other foot infections or bruises your horse might have.</description>
