It arrived today. She hasn't touched her food. I'm hoping she is just having one of those days rather than the taste putting her off (she already has Renalzin in her food which she is fine with) - she only needs 1/2 capsule a day as it says one per 5kg body weight. (she is only 2.5kg)

I believe I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. To know that the results are profitable to the race would not remove my hostility to it.  Mark Twain

I have only ever used Cystaid, but I think it is a good product.

There are loads of links that say it is fine for cats as well. Apparently it is a sister sugar to Glucosamine.

Also wondering about d-mannose - I read that it clear cystitis in a day. http://www.dmannose.co.uk/ - it looks like it would help the 1% of cases where it is bacterial.

Its for humans tho

I personally don't know the difference but we've always given Jess cystease.

The chances of her taking them are slim so I just ordered cystease (from you know who as it was £15  :evillaugh: )

Apart from a huge difference in price?

The glucosamine is the same amount and type. If anything, Cytease, the cheaper one has prebitics which I would assume are to make the Glucosamine more readily absorbable.
