My cat appears to have a urinary tract, I want to give her aloe (because it seems to help me out with urinary tract infections,) Is it safe?

She's spending 10-15 minutes in the litter box, her urine has puss in it, and last time it was a foamy brownish/dark yellowish color. She's also nurturing that area of her body.

ACCEPTED

Dear friend,
It sounds as though she has a severe infection. She will need to see a vet immediately for an antibiotic. She can become seriously ill without it.
Aloe causes severe diarrhea in some cats so it is not really safe.
However, even if it was, your cats symptoms have gone way past holistic remedies.
Please get her in to see a vet ASAP.
Very sincerely,
Terri
