My cat has urinary issues. How do vets diagnose feline idiopathic cystitis?

Question

Hi, what do the vet do to diagnose Felin idiopatisk cystit? My cat has had 3 round of medication, and one round of antibiotics. We have eliminated stress, we give her the calm food, forgot the name, but the vet recommended it. we have feliway friends, and there has been no conflict between the cats for some time, so i don't know what to do. If it is stress, what can i do? if not, what do the vet do to diagnose Felin idiopatisk cystit? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed

Usually is this diagnosis (which by far is the most common cause of feline cystitis) is established by ruling out other causes like urinary crystals or stones and urinary tract infections and possibly even urinary bladder tumors. X rays and/or abdominal ultrasound, urine analysis are usually performed. If it stress related the key factors of stress must be understood discussing them and if not removable or found medical treatment for stress can be eventually used. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
