Protexin Veterinary Cystophan Urinary and Bladder Support for Cats, 240 Chicken Flavoured Capsules

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.

My Maine Coon cat had a urinary blockage at 9 months old. He had to have an emergency operation to unblock him and after a stressful couple of weeks and lots of worry, medication and expense (luckily we had him insured) he fully recovered. At the time, the vet said there was quite a high chance of urinary tract could block again and talked about a bypass operation which we were considering. She then rang to say she had spoken to a senior vet and he said the bypass was extreme action and usually for cats that had recurring blockages. The vet recommended Cystophan for his bladder health (2 per day due to his size) and she suggested he be on them for life. I buy a 240 pack every 3-4 months so it is quite expensive but my cat is now 3 and 1/2 years old and had no further issues so I believe that they work and I don't want to risk taking him off them so it's worth it for the peace of mind. Usually easy to pull the capsules apart (I've had 2 tubs where I had to use a sharp knife to cut off the very end of the capsules which was a bit of a pain) and mix them in with his wet food every morning and he licks the bowl clean. She initially thought that his original blockage may have been caused by holding in his wee due to stress so he had also been on Amitriptylene since the op but I'm happy to say we have weaned him off that. He is a happy cat but he will hide if he hears sudden/loud noise and I can't say for sure if the Cystophan is helping with his stress levels as I haven't tried taking him off them to see what he's like without them, but I'm happy to say he has had no further issues with his bladder so I would definitely recommend this product.

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.

this does work for my Cat.the item is as seen in the photos.the postage charge is a bit too high because it could EASILY be sent out in a Jiffy bag 1st or 2nd class and it would fit through any letterbox if it wasn't in the overly big box mine came in.it is a very hard/stiff none pull in half capsule which is hard to open without scissors which is no bother of course.it is easily mixed with tinned food.the Cat has no idea He is being medicated so it must be odourless and tasteless to Him.there are no identifying markings on the capsules whatsoever.the main thing is that they do help my 18 month old Polydactyl Tom Cat who has idiopathic feline cystitis (which means the Vet has no idea what is the cause of the inflammation of His bladder and urinary tract) He was on Cystaid Plus from the Vet but i decided to try these because of the L-Tryptophan added.if He does need them long term then i will buy these ones again.

They seem to be doing the trick ,so far .

our 11year old tomcat started to show several stress symptoms by over-licking, urinating around the house and developed an inflamed bladder due to anxiousness in going out to pee, a result from the increase in numbers of other younger tomcats in the neighbourhood. The vet recommended us Cystophan which we have now been giving him daily for ca 8 months and he has improved a great deal since we started the treatment. We also installed an indoor litter tray, because he gets bullied by neighbouring cats and gets too anxious to go out. His over-licking has stopped completely, he does not urinate anywhere other than his litter try or outside and all his fluffy belly hair has grown back, he is generally a much more relaxed and happy cat.

Brought these as the cat was having urinary issues. They helped support his tiny bladder on a road to recovery. They mix well in food and have a meaty smell to them that is appealing to the cat when it's added to his food. Would highly reccommend this product for your feline. LArger quantities also help with costs as the 30 capsule alternative is not cost effective

I bought this for my cat who unfortunately has a urinary tract infection. The vet suggested a similar product which was three times the price of this!It basically does the same thing and the ingredients and nutrients are more or less the same.My cat loves them!
