In this episode of Nine Lives with Dr. Kat, Dr. Kathryn Primm interviews Dr. Allison Kendall about Feline Interstitial Cystitis (FIC), a chronic and often misunderstood bladder condition in cats.  Dr. Kendall explains how FIC differs from bacterial infections, emphasizing that stress is a major trigger rather than infection. They discuss common risk factors, including environmental stressors, multi-cat households, and anxious personalities. Dr. Kendall also shares the latest treatment approaches, focusing on stress reduction, dietary management, and environmental enrichment.

A key highlight of the episode is Dr. Kendall’s groundbreaking research on using low-dose radiation therapy to treat FIC. She explains how this novel approach reduces bladder inflammation and improves symptoms, with promising early results.  Listeners gain valuable insights into feline urinary health, cutting-edge research, and actionable tips to improve their cats’ well-being.
