Protexin CystoPro for Dogs and Cats

This supplement contains ingredients to help support normal bladder function and repair. It does not alter the urine itself in order to prevent the formation of certain types of stones. The best way to do this is with special veterinary diets. We recommend contacting your vet to discuss which diet would be most suitable for prevention for your pet, many of these can then be purchase directly through our website.

This depends on the severity of your dog's kidney disease. Whilst the ingredients within CystoPro should not have a direct negative impact on the kidneys, they may interfere with a special kidney diet and so it is worth running it's use past your vet to be safe.

CystoPro is a great idea to help support the urinary tract of your dog. It can help prevent repeat problems like UTis. I recommend following your vets advise closely though on what other specific treatments may be required.

This supplement will help promote good overall urinary tract health and may help prevent UTIs in the future but it is unlikely to stop your dog forming Urate stones. I would recommend a low purine diet such as Royal Canin Canine Veterinary (Clinical) Diets Urinary U/C UUC 18 Low Purine Dog Food as the best thing to help prevent stones.

This product is specifically formulated to combat urinary tract disorders so will likley have no effect of helping with an ear infection. I would recommend something such as TrizAural which is formulated for ears.

Ear infections can be tricky to treat so don't hesitate to visit your vets if you feel you are not winning with non prescription treatments.

Protexin advise that CystoPro can be given for as long as necessary. Looking at the ingredients I can't see any reason why it shouldn't be given long term and should be perfectly safe given daily. It is difficult to predict but CystoPro may well help to prevent further UTI's in your dog so would certainly be worth a try.

My main concern would be that your bitch is developing an infection in her uterus (womb). This is even possible if she has been spayed, though is much less likely. I would have to say that the best thing would be to take her to the vet for a check over. This would become very important if she goes off her food, vomits, or has any sort of abnormal vaginal discharge. You might be right that this is a problem which will pass by itself in time but there is a distinct possibility she is starting to become ill. If so, the sooner this is acted upon, the better the chances of a successful outcome. Uterine infections can be very serious.

There is very little protein in this product and it should be perfectly safe for your dog if given at the normal rates.

There is a chance that it will help, but it is unlikely to be the complete answer. There can be a combination of reasons why elderly dogs become incontinent, but ascending bacterial infections are sometimes a secondary consequence of the underlying problem, which then make it worse. This product can help with some aspects of bacterial infection and so can help limit the extent of that part of the problem. Essentially it would be safe to try them and see if they help. They might do, but are unlikely to be a complete answer.

This product has not been specifically tested for use along with gabapentin, but it is very unlikely that this combination will result in any additional risk of adverse reaction.

One dose of Cystopro is effective for up to 24 hours so the timing of the dose is not important, as long as it is given regularly at about the same time of day.
