What is the treatment for cystitis in cats?

Answer by  bubbaloo (66)

If cystitis is causing difficult urination, the cat may have to be catheterized to drain the bladder and given a course of antibiotics. The catheter may be painful but cystitis can be dangerous and cause more pain or even death if not treated. Afterward, the cat can be fed special food low in magnesium to prevent further problems.

You need to talk to your vet about the best treatment for your cat. Different treatments can affect cats differently, so talking to your vet about treatment options is important. The level of pain will also vary depending on the cat and the level of cystitis. You can get pain medication to help manage it.
