They cleaned him up and gave me some kayopectate stuff (spelling?) and another med. They ran some tests (like lukemia and stuff) and he was fine. She said he seems to be healthy otherwise besides the stomach thing. They gave me some science diet to give him for a few days in hopes it helped (wet food). He seemed fine for awhile and now his stool is harder than it ever was but he is throwing up again here and there. I think it is the food...but what kind of food can I get to see if it helps?

Heart, blood and Xray all came back normal. Some blood and cloudiness in urine. The vet mentioned FLUTD and I could see a specialist if I wanted. Cultures weren't done. I thought he'd be over it by now and he is still listless and this morning he had trouble getting up the last two stairs from the basement. It is like he is dead inside..he lost his spark. I can't think of any major stress going on, or not any more than usual in the last 12 years of his life.
I have been doing researches on the recipe,which handed down from my forefathers,can cure all kinds of nephritis(except Kidney Failure and Uremia because they are not reversible).

A 64-year-old male presenting with rising creatinine, nephrotic syndrome and monoarthritis few months after a tick bite was noted to have mixed cryoglobulinaemia, a positive borrelia western blot and ‘full-house’ pattern MPGN with interstitial granuloma.

IC also shows a distinct hypersensitivity to foods and fluids that irritate the bladder like caffeine, alcohol, and acidic fruits and beverages. Symptoms of IC can flare up, and resolve spontaneously. If you have a flare up of symptoms, and a urine culture is negative for infection, you may have IC.

Other defects of tubular function, such as tubular acidosis and salt-losing nephritis, may also occur.

Hi - I was recently diagnosed with interstitial cystitis. I also have Sjogren's, fibromyalgia, and a variant on the MEFV gene. My doctor prescribed Elmiron which I just started. Is there a connection between interstitial cystitis and Sjogren's, fibromyalgia, or the inflammatory response from the genetic variant? I'm wondering if there are other treatment options besides the medication that will also address the other issues.
I have had good luck with ice packs and/or hot compresses. I have been diagnosed with interstitial cystitus and irritable bowel characterized by chronic constipation. My gastroenterologist believe this symptom is bowel related...I have never discussed it with my urologist, but as suggested by helstrom I will!
corndog,
a urologist diagnoses and treats interstitial cystitis. IC is chronic inflammation of the bladder lining.
