Cystitis Relief

I have a 4 year old male cat who has had one previous bout of feline cystitis. He has been fine for about two years. However, tonight, in the past hour he has shown signs of it again. Straining to urinate, crying, urinating only a very small amount, and he also seems warm etc. I was petting him about two hours ago for quite awhile and he seemed fine then, this is sudden. I know prompt vet care is critical but I can not get him to the vet until the morning. Does anyone have any advice to keep him comfortable until the morning?
Sorry, I didn’t mean to post here – I was posting to the pet forum. I know he’s in pain. That’s why I was looking for suggestions of what to do for him until morning.

Thanks

You need to post in pet’s forum.

Really nothing you can do. Some cats are prone to this. Are you feeding no ash cat food?

The cat is in terrible pain. Can you not do anything to-night?

for now i would make him comfortable and keep an eye on him.. give him lots of attention. i hope he feels better..have his favorite things around him.. goodluck at the vet!

I just went to a Petsmart Banfield and they won’t refill my cat’s prescription without him doing a mandatory vet visit to get a new refill. His vet said that he needs this every day for the rest of his life due to having Feline Idiopathic Cystitis. Problem is that he is almost out of his food and I don’t have enough time to get him to a vet before he runs out and I’ve also moved a couple months ago so I have to go through the process of finding a new vet fast. Is there any website that doesn’t require a prescription to buy Hills Science Diet c/d? (also, it’s not on ebay so don’t suggest that). I will be getting him to a new vet ASAP still.

Call your old vet and ask them to fax a prescription to Banfield. It might be a good idea to get the fax number of the place you want them to send it before you call.
