Cystitis Relief

I have interstitial cystitis. I get flare-ups from time to time and they usually last a few days. I got one suddenly today and it’s worse than they have been in a long time.

Normally it wouldn’t be of any concern. I’d deal with it as I normally do. However, I have school tomorrow. It’s very uncomfortable having to use the restroom every 10 minutes and on top of that having to deal with this terrible pain. I’m considering staying home from school, but some part of me feels guilty (even though i’m in pain!).

Anyone with IC have any advice? I’m stumped as to what I should do.

I.C hurts.I know,me too.Stay home and drink lots of water,avoid spicy foods-tomatoes,caffeine,greasy foods.Just go with as much water and a boring,bland diet for a few days.Hey don’t stress it out,take care of you.You’ll be miserable at school so stay home and chill.Have a friend bring your classwork and do your work in BED,E

my dog is in season for the 1st time and I don’t know whether everything is normal or if I should go to the vets…first she was getting little drops everywhere, then that seemed to stop and now shes leaving little puddles of clearish browy-red, thick stuff that STINKS like pure fish but she’s leaving it all over the house!Also when i watch her have a wee… its like shes got Cystitis or something cos she wees thencarries on squatting just for the tiniest little drops, it’s liek she doesn’t know when she’s finished weeing if u get me? well I don’t know if the fish stuff is normal and i don’t know if the wee thing is an infection or if shes leaving her scent but every time i call the vet I never get a straight answer from them,they just say get her spayed and that’s gettin on my nerves now considering I want her to have pups some day…so I’m sick of calling them….

what a relief! it’s not wabbit season.

I have aleady taken him to the vet 3 times, but he seems to stay sick. He is a 7 month old DSH. He has always been underweight and underdeveloped compared to his littermate.

His symptoms are:
Yellowish-Dark brown pus in the ear canal
Swelling/redness in the ear flap
Swollen gums
Loose stools
Generally smells unhealthy
Straining when urinating
Asthma

I adopted him at 4 months of age, he had been outdoors. He was noticibly underweight and had ear mites but seemed to be otherwise ok. Within 1 week he presented the other symptoms. The vet just says its the worms and bladder cystitis. 2 months ago he puked up a foot long round worm and the vet gave him a full spectrum dewormer than again a month later. His fur got a bit healthier but he didn’t gain weight at all, two days ago we went back and got him on amoxicillin, but I’m really worried about the fact that there is so much wrong and he has never been healthy. Tested negative for feline lukemia. Does anyone have any other thoughts? I’ve taken him to two vets and neither thinks anything is seriously wrong, but I have to give him water with a syringe now to keep him hydrated.
He is on amoxicillin, 20 mg a day. He is also on Otoclense ear drops. The pre-op blood panel came up negative for any problems when he was neutered 3 months ago. I am continuing to work with my vet, I’m just looking for any ideas to get a new perspective.

Am I to understand that he presented with discharge from the ear canal and all the other symptoms and you were told not to worry? There are a myriad of possibilities, including a false negative FeLuke test. Bottom line, he has an infection which may be inner ear. The swollen gums could be caused by it as it spreads. And that is not something you want getting into the blood stream. He came from the outdoors, possibly where he was under-nourished and certainly exposed to God knows what. Mom may have been under-nourished when she was carrying. Or the health problems could just boil down to bad genetics. My recommendation is a new vet ASAP! Good luck.
