Abstract Oral glucosamine was compared to a placebo for the management of cats with feline idiopathic cystitis (FIC) in a randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, study. Forty cats with a history of recurrent cystitis due to FIC were divided into two groups and treated daily per os with either 125 mg N-acetyl glucosamine or a placebo for six months.
Diet and Feeding Management Diet may play multiple roles in the therapy of IC. Most cats with IC already produce urine that is acidic (< 6.5 pH), and that contains few crystals. In the presence of macroscopic crystalluria, changing the diet to dilute the urine without increasing the pH is indicated.
Abstract This prospective observational study evaluated client-reported recurrence of lower urinary tract signs (LUTS) and other signs of abnormalities in cats with idiopathic cystitis after institution of multimodal environmental modification (MEMO). Forty-six client-owned indoor-housed cats with idiopathic cystitis, diagnosed based on a history of recurrent LUTS and evidence of absence of urolithiasis or bacterial urinary tract infection were studied.

Tratamiento de un caso complicado de infección del tracto urinario superior con agente resistente. Más bien, cómo enfrentarse a este tipo de situaciones.
Manejo multimodal del FLUTD Estadísticamente, las dos causas más frecuentes de Flutd son la Cistitis Idiopática felina (enunciada por multitud de nombres, idiomas y siglas: FIC, iFLUTD, Cistitis idiopática felina, Cistitis Intersticial, Cistitis Idiopática...) que representa cerca del 60 % de los gatos afectados y los urolitos (básicamente estruvita y oxalato cálcico) que representa cerca del 20% de los gatos afectados.
It emphasizes the necessity to prepare different dietary rations during the various stages of disease, on the basis of clinical signs
and laboratory data.
