I've taken my female cat Voo to Dr. Girard at Colony Veterinarians. I adopted Voo after finding her living in a parking lot, being fed on-and-off by commercial tenants; she was about 6 months old and had been abandoned. I had her spayed, wormed and vaccinated 2 yrs ago. She immediately developed what my prior vet said were chronic bladder infections, which had to be constantly treated with a powerful liquid antibiotic, with limited success and many recurrences. When the prior vet left, and Voo again developed symptoms, I took her to Dr. Girard. Dr. Girard took a sterile urine sample from Voo with a tiny needle, and when a culture showed there were no bacteria, said Voo likely had feline interstitial cystitis, which could periodically recur. She prescribed a 3-day, once-a-day course of a feline anti-inflammatory, which worked by the end of the second day. I was very pleased. Voo hasn't had any recurrences so far, either.
