Hi everyone , my girl was just diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis , I just wanted to kinda share what I have learned so far and get some advice on what I could do differently. My co worker actually helped me too she said I should go off of what could trigger it in humans too because bladder...

...generally connected with the reproductive tract (ovarian cysts). In boars it is more difficult but could your boy have sterile interstitial cystitis? It is characterised at the onset with deep red porphyrin-dyed pees that can look like concentrated blood. Flares can happen every few months...

...It is only diagnosed once a course of antibiotics fails, because there are no bacteria found in the urine with sterile interstitial cystitis. Therefore it can take a while to get a diagnosis but it is now more common than bacterial infections. As long as you now have a diagnosis and can...

Hello! We have an almost 5yo sow, Cupcake, who has been dealing with IC for almost a year, with periods of normalcy alternating with flares...until recently, when the "flare" state has become the new normal. We’ve tried just about everything there is to manage her condition: antibiotics...

...all over the body and builds up slowly, whether that is coating arthritic joints or the lining of the urinary tract. Sterile/interstitial cystitis is an illness that runs the whole bandwidth from the very mild to so severe that it can kill within a week or two with a very fast deterioration...

...don’t cut down on any food group while being syringe fed. Yes celery stalk and leaf is different - one is higher in calcium. Sterile cystitis is interstitial cystitis. Its whole name is sterile interstitial cystitis but it is quite a mouthful so we tend to call it either sterile cystitis...

...away. That ran for close to another two weeks, but it didn't appear to be fully gone when he stopped the meds. He felt it was interstitial cystitis with x-rays done and bloodwork but no culture. When I returned from vacation, and my sister watching the girls, a few days after I returned...

Was the fungal infection formally diagnosed by a vet in the hour since you posted asking what to do? If so then you just need to keep up with the treatment as your vet prescribed. Depending on what you are dealing with you may also need to keep up with cage disinfection - there a lots of...

...why his urine test results showed no abnormal white blood cells, but alarming abnormal red blood cells. It was because of his interstitial cystitis.As you reminded me before, its crystal will scratch his bladder and cause a trace of bleeding, so his red blood cell count is abnormally high and...

Indirect cystitis It is

A UTI is a general term - the distinction comes from whether it is bacterial or not. Sterile cystitis can only be diagnosed by first ruling out every other possible issue first. It is a process of elimination as there is no specific test to confirm sterile cystitis. The vet has to confirm that...

Thank you @Wiebke for the support! I've got another appt tomorrow for a urine sample check. Flapjacks wee's are never red, the blood presence is only seen via dipstick and this is intermittent. She can go days/weeks with clear samples- I tend to do random spot checks when I'm cleaning her out...

I'm utterly bewildered by the distinction between bacterial and non-bacterial cystitis, but what's become clearer to me is that after some trial and error, he tolerated this prazosin exceptionally well. Moreover, after the 15-day course of Ciprofloxacin, the white blood cells in his urine have...

I am glad that there is nothing sinister underway. But I strongly hope that the proper dosage of antibiotic will help once it kicks in, which takes several days. Otherwise she may be developing sterile interstitial cystitis but that can be managed.

Perfect thank you much appreciated for the clarification. Questions - Celery stalk is the part lower in calcium? So can that be fed daily? - The 3 photos attached is that just normal excess calcium or is that bladder sludge or bladder grit? - Should lighter pieces of hay turn this colour...

...the aseptic cystitis you mentioned, but also somewhat like cystitis. Because at the time, the doctor said that no crystals were seen under the microscope, but he did see crystals with the naked eye. I don't know what that means. UTI and interstitial cystitis are not the same condition, are...

...If there are crystals in the urine then they are the precursor to stones. There is something out of balance in the diet. Interstitial cystitis is a non-bacterial infection which antibiotics will not help. This is only diagnosed once everything else has been ruled out. There is no cure but...

Woody is on long term pain meds for interstitial cystitis and a vet has suggested I could try acupuncture, she hasn't done it with guinea pigs yet but has good results with cats that have chronic issues similar to Woody's. Has anyone heard of acupuncture being used in guinea pigs? If so did it...

...flinching so thats good. She also said her teeth were more that perfect, so another relief. Basically she thinks it could be interstitial cystitis and her bladder could be a little inflamed which causes her to cry when going to the loo. Ive got Metacam and a tiny amount of Gabapentin to see...

Crystals is a problem with calcium in the diet. They are the precursor to stones. Interstitial cystitis is a lifelong condition. Mild cases may resolve but it can take years to do so. Glucosamine needs to given for life, not just during a flare up. It takes weeks for it to start working so...
