Hi there,
I'm betting a chiropractic evaluation, some acupuncture, and a diet change away from kibble to a non-starchy home-made diet would help tremendously, given enough time.
Does the cystitis have symptoms? Or is the dog incontinent?

When she has had cystitis in the past (two or three seperate occasions) it has been bacterial with typical stranguria. No incontinence. What do you suggest for balancing a diet at home? Thanks!

Then my first thought is to try San Ren Tang (Three Seeds Decoction). It is one of my favorites for inappetance in dogs, iguanas, cats, etc...
It should also reduce the tendency to cystitis. It can even reduce low back pain (lumbo-sacral region), especially where due to nerve root compression from disk disease.
For diets, I favor the 'Paleolithic Diet' from the Manual of Natural Veterinary Medicine, if you have that book (Mosby, 2003).
Good luck!
