Hey everyone,
My 14 year old cat Kobi was recently diagnosed with intestinal lymphoma after an ultrasound showed inflammation in the gut, swollen lymph nodes, and a fine needle aspirate that showed cancerous cells.
We have entered palliative care now and I'm wondering if I should just let my girl have any type of wet food she pleases. We are on a combination of mirtazapine(which makes her crazy but works well for her appetite), cerenia, and prednisolone and that has worked well in regards to getting her to eat. However, my vet said it's best to get her on a different diet with novel proteins. We've tried about 6 prescription diets but she just wouldn't eat any of it.
She has taken quite a liking to things like Fancy feast, meow mix and friskies canned food . She's never had those things until recently when I got desperate for her to eat something. Is any food better than no food? I mean she doesn't have long to live ,I don't think ,and if she eats the fancy feast well I should just let her right?
Any advice would be appreciated, thank you for reading.
