I have a 6 month old male cat who has been having chronic FLUTD since he was diagnosed 3 months ago. Urine tests and X-rays show no bacteria, blockage or stones. He is on prescription CD food (canned and dry), has water bowls throughout the house for easy access, and has toys and towers to keep him entertained and stress free. Still, every 1 1/2 - 2 weeks he is having a FLUTD episode. Episodes consist of excessively licking his genitals, obvious discomfort and bloody urine (but he still urinates regularly). My vet has only given tests and pain medication to treat the condition, but my cat gets extremely stressed by going to the vet, so a trip to get him relief can make his episode worse and counteract the pain medicine I'm going there to get.
Is there anything I can do to reduce his episodes (herbal remidies, diet, etc)?
Is it common to have episodes so frequently?
If he is having an episode, what point do I take him to the vet?
Can having him fixed make his condition worse?
This is a rescue cat who was abandoned at 2 1/2 weeks old and has had a rough go of things so far... anything I can do to make him more comfortable and me more informed would be greatly appreciated.
