My cat is peeing a lot. Can I give D-Mannose before UTI diagnosis?

Question

I have a 1.5 year old female kitty that has been peeing more often than usual (4-5 times per day, usually 3, maybe 4 times). Blood work was fine, Urinalysis did show possible bacteria, but waiting on culture next few days. Can I give her d Mannose (pure D mannose -nothing extra in it) in the meantime? If so, what is the best amount to dose? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 1 year and 8 months old | 9.5 lbs

If Echo has bacteria in urine, she will need an antibiotic to help solve. D-Mannose is a supplement that helps to support urinary tract health but may not help much if Echo already has a urinary tract infection. If you'd like to use the supplement in the future, I would recommend getting all dosing recommendations from Echo's vet. Unfortunately we cannot give out dosing information legally over the internet.
