Product Information

Stress is one of the common reasons cats get cystitis and so it is often recommended to use FELIWAY Classic to help your cat. If your vet has advised you that your cat's cystitis is due to stress then FELIWAY Classic would be a product which you could use alongside their suggestions. Having lots of hiding places is a really good way of making cats feel safer, so an owner might have boxes or covered spaces for their cat to hide away in each room. Pheromone therapy L-tryptophan - an amino acid precursor to serotonin which is known to have a calming and relaxing effect. Feliway Cystease (Formerly Cystease Advanced) Urinary Tract Support supplement for cats has been designed to support the bladder lining of your cats. If Finn's having a problem with repeat infections in his bladder I would also give him Waterfall D-Mannose which is great at mopping up any bacteria hanging around in the bladder.

For this scenario you will need to use a FELIWAY Classic Diffuser, all you need to do is plug this in where you cat spends most of their time. Leave it plugged in at all times and replace the refill monthly as you need. Canine Cystaid is presented in capsules and can be used for short or long term support.

The vet said his bladder was empty yesterday and he's straining because he feels like he needs to go. She gave him a Metacam injection, and gave me a 3ml bottle of Metacam oral suspension along with 30 Cystease tablets day (two a day sprinkled on his food). She advised me to give him a 5kg dose daily starting today of the Metacam. Or just doing some research? My local vet (not a specialist ) is always happy to call a colleague or look into something further if she isn't sure.These tablets are indeed intended for cats exactly like yours. "Idiopathic cystitis" is one of the names used to describe the condition and it certainly seems to help using a product like this. It has to be given for a few weeks before it is fully effective, then has to be given long-term. And I am sorry but your vet is wrong about the Metacam dosage and there are many (many) recent studies not he use of meloxicam in small animals (rabbits. rats, guinea pigs, etc) that prove this. Feline cystitis means that your cat's bladder is inflamed and when it is called idiopathic cystitis it means that there is an underlying unexplained reason for its cause. It is a very common condition and is not always a serious health concern but we always recommend you chat to your vet about it. WHY WOULD THIS BE RELATED TO FELIWAY CLASSIC? Feliway is the world's leading cat behaviour product, scientifically proven to help stop and prevent unwanted behaviours in cats.

Metacam can have some really serious side effects, so personally if the cat is acting normally and taking the cystease as prescribed then I would not give it. Hello - My 7 year old tom cat recently had his first episode of Feline Idiopathic Cystitis, the vet explained that it is usually caused by stress but he is the most chilled out cat I have ever owned. He is however an indoor cat, a little over weight & previously ate a totally dry kibble diet. His diet has now been reduced slightly & also is now 50/50 wet & dry food. So hopefully this will help. FIC is more common in younger felines and episodes tend to reduce with age. FIC is different from a bladder infection, bladder stones or more serious urinary tract conditions, but can often present the same symptoms. What causes feline idiopathic cystitis in cats? Feliway Cystease (previously Cystease S / Cystease Advanced) is a tablet given to cats to help encourage urinary health. As stress is considered the main factor in urinary health, it is recommended to use alongside the Feliway calm-inducing diffusers which are available from VioVet here . Various factors have been recognised as being associated with the urinary problems, such as obesity, dried biscuit diets and stress due to environmental factors (often from other cats).Feliway Cystease for cats is a supplement that has been designed to support the bladder lining of cats and reduce stress. I am a HUGE fan of D Mannose and would definitely try him on that as @chillminx recommends. It is a very fine powder which dissolves easily into food and none of mine have refused to take it.

It was my decision to put him on Cystease, twice a day for a couple of weeks. Then I cut down to one and he continued to wee fine, nice big wees and no straining, crying or hopping in and out of the litter tray, Then I took them off him and he has been fine for a couple of years now Stress can adversely affect the integrity of the bladder lining of your cat and unfortunately there are many factors that can cause stress in cats. Inter-cat conflict, moving house, new arrivals to the home environment and car travel, to name just a few. Ceva have launched Feliway Cystease, a new urinary tract support supplement for cats. An elaboration on the original product, Cystease S, the new version contains N-acetyl glucosamine, L-tryptophan and Hyaluronic Acid. A high percentage of cystitis cases, however, are said to be 'idiopathic' i.e. not associated with a medical cause. Thiscommonly occurs in cats which have an exaggerated response to stress.Feliway is a synthetic copy of the facial pheromone which cats use to mark their home environment.Idiopathic cystitis commonly occurs in cats which have an exaggerated response to stress and may have a deficiency in the protective layer which lines the bladder wall. Cats prone to this type of bladder problem do better if they have a higher fluid intake, which helps produce more dilute urine. The problem is very unusual in cats which are not producing concentrated urine. Therefore we would recommend that most of the diet consists of wet, not dry food. Obese cats are more prone to trouble too, so the total amount of food provided should be restricted so as to keep the cat's bodyweight to the ideal level.

I found it took around a month for the Cystease to start to have an effect - it needs time to sooth the bladder walls so 2 weeks isn't very long. Mia will take zyklene (and other similar things) sprinkled on her food - I wouldn't be able to do it long term otherwise as I can't pill her so there would be no way to get them down What I want to know is - do I *have* to give him the Metacam? As far as I can tell, it's a painkiller used after feline surgery rather than an antibiotic, and he doesn't appear to be in any pain - he hasn't strained for a wee, he's active and happy which is a massive improvement on yesterday morning. I stupidly googled Metacam and was instantly hit with stories on cat death, so at the minute I'm really against giving it to him - 5kg is almost half a syringe full.

It also contains L-tryptophan which is used in the brain to make serotonin, the happy hormone.. It would help us a lot if you could let us know what meds he is on, what dosage and how long he has been on them.
