Anyone used nutracys+ for bladder inflammation?

My rabbit milly has blood in her urine and we sent off a sample to be tested which showed no bacteria so my vet says she has bladder inflammation and wondered about trying a product for cats called nutracys+ but has not used it in rabbits before and I can't find any info on its use?

I have altered her diet and water intake and she is already on metacam as she is an e.c bunny.

Anyone used it? I want to make sure it's safe before I think about trying it. It contains n acetyl D glucosamine, quercetin and L Tryptophan
 
It sounds a lot like Cystease, which gets used in guinea pigs with interstitial cystitis.

Can't help with the use in rabbits - but I think it came up in another recent thread. There are a few versions of this cat product (eg Cystease, VetUK Bladder Supplement Sprinkle Capsules). The VetUK own brand is liver flavoured and the capsules are huge compared to Cystease ones. I use Cystease for a cat with chronic bladder issues and it does work. If we withdraw it, she starts to get minor symptoms of chronic cystitis again after a few weeks. She's been on it for many years on a reduced dose now. She used to get very bloody urine after one meal of the 'wrong' food, and it took 3 weeks to clear up each episode. So over time (10 years or so), there has been a massive improvement. Her condition is now very stable and regularly polishes off standard cat food with no ill effects.
