Background:
I have a cat (Bird, 14 years old) who has been exhibiting bladder infection problems, but no infection (clean cultures), no cancer, only blood, has shown up in all her tests and the vet said that her bladder wall felt a bit thickened.
The vet gave me a med-Pentosan Polysulfate 15 mg/ml (1 ml/day)for a little over 30 days that helped (but was about $100 for a month
!), but someone is weeing inappropriately again, and I suspect her, of course
, since it seems to be her pattern (they all go in for yearlies in a couple of weeks, and I will coax samples from everybody to take in then since it is sporadic, and not constant, like when someone is really "sick"). Bird is also hyperthyroid, for the record, and is on a pill twice a day for that, and was stable at last check.
I have read about people giving their cats "Cosequin for cats" for bladder inflamation, and I was wondering if someone could give me a little more information about it? Pros, cons, flavors (my cats can't have fish...), where to purchase... just basically, anything you could tell me about it. Thanks
