Protexin Veterinary Cystophan Capsules for Cats for Urinary and Bladder Health, Meat-Free Chicken Flavour, 30 Capsules

This product is brilliant.My elderly male cat was rushing to the litter tray every 5 minutes.The last time this happened the vet said it could be stress. We were given something to help with that which helps for a while. On that visit to the vet they said the next step would be blood tests, urine samples and maybe a scan. I knew his bladder wasn’t blocked because he was passing urine.This time I tried this product. After 4 days the problem has cleared up. It’s easy to administer. Just break open the capsules and mix with food.The price is good.I will be keeping him on these

I have been using this with my cat for a couple of months now, and felt that I should give a review as it seems to be pretty impressive stuff. The best thing about it, is that it mixes well into the cat’s food, and seems to taste good, as my fussy cat does eat it.My boy cat died suddenly 3 months ago, and his sister, who used to be irritated by him mostly, struggled with him suddenly being gone.She started going to the litter tray lots, and either not weeing or just a little. I took her to the vet’s and he gave her something similar, and recommended that I bought this when that was finished.I open the capsule and mix the contents into her food, once a day. She eats her food well and has no more bathroom problems. She seems relaxed and happy. It is such a weight off my mind, as there is less worry about losing her too now.

Great as usual, repeat buyer

My 13yr old female spayed cat has, for the past 12 months, been having problems with spraying and peeing around the house. She has always been a bit of a sensitive flower but despite being given all the attention, care, food and shelter she has always had and wanted, she seemed to go through a phase of being especially upset, and the weeing seemed to be stress-induced, possibly triggered by a bout of cystitis.I took her to the vet who looked for problems including tumours but she was found to be in top condition. The only explanation I could see was perhaps a food issue(allergy, sensitivity), stress(too many foxes or other cats in her neighbourhood all of a sudden or some kind of mental issue (old age, dementia or something).I've tried other products designed to relieve stress in cats, including some incredibly expensive vet prescribed food(£28 for 2KG!!!!) and none of these things have worked.Of course until I try a long process of elimination I won't know for sure that these pills are solely responsible. But she has been on one a day sprinkled into her Felix(we keep her on one brand now with a little added water to make a gravy to ward off cystitis problems from dehydration) for a month now and she has shown a drastic improvement. We also keep her in, now she stays in for most of the day and has a 3-4hr session out in the garden, rather than the 10-12hrs she used to have.Before she would seem distressed and unhappy, yeowling to go out every five minutes. When outside she wouldn't use her dirt box but she would go to every available bare patch of soil and squat there, or she would walk around and scratch a circuit of bare patches into the grass. In the house she would wee on everything if she was in a particularly agitated mood, on shopping bags, chairs, door frames, sofa cushions. We couldn't trust her anywhere, and she used to be perfectly consistent, she would ask if she needed to go out and use the dirt box I have set up in a flowerbed for her.For nearly a month now she has shown a steady improvement and although we now keep a litter box indoors for her she is trustworthy in all areas. I tried Cystaid and Cystaid Plus but neither seemed to have the same effect. They do have slightly different ingredients as far as I could tell from the labels.So, all I can say is that since starting my cat on Cystophan capsules she has shown a marked improvement. But I cannot guarantee it is from the pills alone. However if you and your cat are suffering the same problems as we were then it might be worth a try. Just be aware that my cat doesn't actually have cystitis, but some kind of irritation that presents like cystitis without some of the symptoms. If your cat DOES have the usual cystitis symptoms you should seek veterinary advice.Hope this helps.PJ

help him a lot with stress

My beautiful elderly tabby girl took these every day for 4 months before we lost her to liver cancer. She had been having urinary discomfort and discharge, for which our unhelfpul vet would only offer one course of antibiotics before demanding an extremely expensive scan that we simply couldn't afford. However, within 24 hours of starting these, she was clearly a much happier cat - lively, purry, affectionate, with her appetite back and her playful nature re-emerging. She stayed that way for most of the rest of her life with one of these a day, until the last 48 hours when clearly she had reached the end of the line. She seemed to like the taste of these capsules and was eager to eat one in her food every morning. I believe the ingredients have anti-depressant effects as well as pain relief. Obviously they could do nothing to treat her underlying condition, but I do think these capsules gave our beautiful girl back her quality of life, and that's worth everything.
