Hi everyone,
I have a question.....
I have a 2 year old male who has sterile IC ( confirmed by vet) since April this year. His on 0.6 mls of cat metacam twice daily and with flares 1 ml twice daily. Half cystease twice daily with water and potassium citrate twice a day. His had one four week of catrophen injections which he responded well. After 2 months he needed some more catrophen the first injection lasted him a week. The 2, 3 and 4 th only lasted 2 days then we had crying. His inside with his girl now for winter on fleece . This week I have been giving him just under one capsule of of cystease twice daily and reducing his pellets to 1 tablespoon twice daily and he is loving life. Popcorning no crying eating plenty of meadow and soft Timothy hay drinking well. Now his 1,500 g. I’ve also got him down to 0.8mls of metacam twice a day. Could this change in him be because I’ve decreased his pellets and he needed to be on a higher dose of cystease?
I know he will have flares but will this dose of cystease be ok for him to have?
His also on the IC Veg diet.
Many thanks.
