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.

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.

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.
