My doc used urinalysis to diagnose a urinary tract infection and she mentioned that glucose was also present. I will go back for blood tests. I do have a family history of diabetes. So I borrowed my father’s glucose meter and tested my blood –glucose level was only 99, which is not in the diabetic range.

A cat that belongs to someone I know is exhibiting all the signs of a urinary tract infection (blood in urine, straining to go, going outside the box, etc.) and obviously needs to be seen by a vet. However, the cat’s owner doesn’t have the time or the money to take the cat to the vet immediately. They are planning on doing it "some time" next week.

1. How long can a cat go without treatment?
2. Should I just take the cat to the vet myself and pay for treatment?
It is a male cat, 4 years old, and he’s been experiencing the symptoms for almost 3 days.
