Cystaid Plus for Cats

CYSTAID® PLUS can help support the management of Feline Idiopathic Cystitis (FIC) in cats.

Once a cat has had FIC, it is known that stress can precipitate flare-ups of the condition.

Feline Idiopathic Cystitis is complex syndrome. Environmental and physiological factors are thought to play a role and the condition has been linked to stress. Breakdown and loss of the glycosaminoglycan layer in the bladder can complicate and exacerbate the condition significantly. Management involves addressing the disturbances in multiple areas.

Formula N-Acetyl D-Glucosamine Helps replace and maintain a healthy GAG bladder mucosal mucin layer Can stimulate increased GAG production by the mucosal cells May decrease bladder wall permeability thus reducing bladder wall inflammation Quercetin Quercetin has been shown to regulate inflammation and help to support stress coping mechanisms. L-Theanine An amino acid found in green tea with natural calming properties. L-Theanine has been shown to reduce stress behaviours in cats.

What Else You Can Do To Help

Decrease stress levels: Every cat has their own stress threshold. The aim should be to lower stress levels below this threshold. Measures such as allowing your cats to have escape areas from each other and having extra litter trays in a multi-cat house may help.

Increase water intake: This will dilute the urine and decrease irritation to the bladder lining. There are many ways to facilitate this, including commercially available water fountains and adding a flavour to the water.
