  • FIC, Pain and Pee with Dr. Allison Kendall

    FIC, Pain and Pee with Dr. Allison Kendall
    Dec 9 2025
    Dr. Allison Kendall is back on the podcast, and she brings with her a fascinating deep dive into a completely new approach to treating feline idiopathic cystitis (FIC). Yes—you read that right. Radiation therapy, traditionally reserved for oncology patients, is now being explored as a potential tool for one of the most frustrating and painful conditions our feline friends face. Dr. Kendall walks us through the rationale, the early clinical findings, and why this modality might just shift our entire perspective on chronic lower urinary tract disease in cats. It’s innovative, surprising, and exactly the kind of boundary-pushing veterinary medicine we love to highlight. From there, we pivot smoothly (or as smoothly as you can pivot when discussing irritated bladders) into another urinary challenge: difficult stones. Dr. Kendall unpacks the diagnostic traps, the surgical dilemmas, and the metabolic mysteries behind those stubborn uroliths that refuse to behave. Expect practical tips, thoughtful insights, and a few “aha” moments that will make you rethink your approach to these cases in practice. Another great conversation with one of our favorite guests: equal parts science, clinical pearls, and inspiration for anyone who has ever managed a blocked cat at 3 a.m.
