Ok so I’ve seen this for many years and have advocated histopath on it and some are LP infiltrates that are pred responsive but not all of them. But rarely does anyone go to sx for histopath to prove or disprove this theory. But empirical tx on this cat with a wicked insterstitial cystitis and localized free fluid and adhesions responded remarkably to gabapentin 100 mg. I’m still chasing the entire history to see if they did anything else but this is a pretty remarkable response.

Then the images today 5-27-16 after gabapentin tx… clean as a whistle and asymptomatic:)
See before and after videos too. Has anyone used gabapentin for idiopathic or interstitial cystitis or has anyone seen a write-up on it?
