Hello, I have a 4 year old female cat who's been having a problem with chronic cystitis. Her Blood work is normal and otherwise she is healthy but for the past few months she's had two flare ups of cystitis and she's had two other cases of it in the past year. The vet said it could be from the weather change but it seems like when ever she goes to the vet for an appointment or to get her nails clipped that's when her cystitis flares up. I don't know if she's nervous about going or sometimes after her nails get clipped I see her licking her nails and it looks like she eats a piece of the nail that sheds off, the vet said this would cause a digestive problem not a urination problem but I don't know. I'm so confused on what to do every time she has a flare up the vet gives her an antibiotic or anti inflammatory shot that works but I know they can cause damage in the long run. I have feliway in the house for her and I am going to try and clip her nails here but I hate the fact that she is healthy but this keeps happening. If anyone has any help for me I would greatly appreciate it.
