One of my cats probably has Urinary Tract Infection. I just noticed today, the wet spot she left on her bed. She's restless most of the time and she kept on drinking lots of water.
It's summer here in our country and the air is really dry and warm, so I thought that she's just trying to stay hydrated. I couldn't take her to a vet just yet because I cannot take a leave from work.
I'm worried she might be in a lot of pain or discomfort. They said that apple cider works. Has anyone else here tried other methods that really work fast for their pets?
I would really appreciate any suggestion.

I would take the time off of work, even if you can't afford it if you are that worried.

that's the thing, I work at home but I cannot take time off from work since my work is based on bookings and appointments which I don't set for myself. Also, I'm in my probationary period lest I want to lose the job. Anyway, I'll see if there are 24/7 vet clinics in our area. The good news is, she is doing much better today than yesterday, probably cause of the water she's been drinking a lot of lately.

@Courtlynn finally took my baby to the vet and she has no infection. And she is better now.

I think apple cider vinegar can help but check with a vet.

A UTI is uncomfortable but it will often clear up in a few days without medical treatment. I don't think that apple cider or other drinks - cranberry juice is excellent for a human UTI - would be appropriate for cats. That she is already drinking plenty of water is a good thing but you should take her to see a vet when you can. The vet will be able to tell you whether it's a simple infection (which can be treated with penicillin, if it persists) or whether there is a more serious underlying cause.
