Feline idiopathic cystitis (FIC) is a common lower urinary tract disease in cats, characterized by bladder inflammation and dysuria. The specific cause of this disease is still unclear, and it may be related to a variety of factors, including psychological stress, diet, living environment and genetic factors.
Main symptoms
• Dysuria: Your cat experiences pain or difficulty urinating.
• Frequent urination: Frequent urge to urinate, but small amount of urine is excreted each time.
• Hematuria: Blood may appear in the urine.
• Inappropriate urination: Sometimes cats urinate in inappropriate places.
Causes of feline idiopathic cystitis (FIC) include
• Low activity level (sedentary lifestyle)
• Mainly fed with dry feed
• Neutering cats
• Multi-cat households
• Indoor living environment
• Obesity
Therefore, reducing your cat's stress and controlling its weight are very important in managing spontaneous cystitis.
Product features and main ingredients
Calmurofel® is a comprehensive urinary tract care supplement:
- Forms a protective layer for the urinary tract
The inner layer of the bladder is mainly composed of a layer of mucosal surface mucus GAGs. The main component of this GAGs is chondroitin sulfate, which accounts for about 1/3 of the whole. The rest is composed of mucopolysaccharides such as dermatan sulfate and heparan sulfate. It is easy to be lost in the urine depending on age or physical condition, and must be supplemented in time to maintain its integrity.
Calmurofel® directly provides GAGs such as MPS protect CS, glucosamine and hyaluronic acid, which help repair the lining of the urinary bladder and reduce the risk of damage to the urothelial cells, reduce the risk of direct contact between the epithelial cells and pathogens, and help relieve pain and inflammation.
- Reduce urgency and anxiety reactions
When faced with external stress, cats will secrete too much norepinephrine, the stress hormone, which will make the inflammatory response more severe and cause pain.
L-tryptophan (3C440) in Calmurofel® is an essential amino acid and a precursor to serotonin, helping to synthesize serotonin, a neurotransmitter that promotes relaxation and improves mood. For anxious and stressed cats, L-tryptophan can help improve mood and reduce anxious behaviors.
- Weight control
Obesity is a high risk factor for lower urinary tract problems in cats and is associated with high levels of leptin in the blood. Leptin is a hormone secreted by fat cells and is related to the regulation of body weight. Calmurofel®'s patented formula contains Oralvisc® hyaluronic acid, which has been proven to reduce blood leptin concentrations, inhibit fat accumulation, and help obese cats control their weight.
