My cat has anxiety & bladder issues. Should I give them anxiety meds?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 12 lbs

My cat has seemed to have anxiety which has resulted in inflammation of the bladder in the past. Do you think it would be appropriate to put them on a chronic anxiety prescription?

This would be a question to ask your veterinarian since he or she is more familiar with Bennie's history. That said, prescription anti-anxiety medications ate used successfully in cats. You can also try a pheromone product, such as Feliway spray or plug in diffusers, to decrease any anxiety. A supplement, such as Dasuquin for Cats ( https://www.dasuquin.com/en/dasuquin-sprinkle-capsules-for-cats/ ), may also promote bladder health.
