Retrospective follow-up study reveals favorable 10-year outcomes in cats with idiopathic cystitis, suggesting long-term survival and low disease-specific mortality.
The long-term prognosis for cats diagnosed with FIC may, based on the results from the present study, be regarded as fairly good, as approximately 70% of the cats either recovered without additional episodes, experienced only a few recurrences, are still alive after a minimum of 10 years since inclusion in the study, or were euthanased for reasons unrelated to FLUTD.
