No they did not recommend nsaid for her as she was on Prednisolone and the Vet didn't think nsaid would be of further benefit. She was on Chlorambucil along with it and the two of those kept the mass in check for over a year. You might ask your vet if adding Chorambucil would be beneficial. I...

Thank you for sharing Tom's story with all here. We would all love to have a Tom, but only you were gifted with him and vice versa. It was a match meant to be...and a love that transcends time. RIP sweet Tom.

Very touching. Very heartfelt. Thank you for sharing Pallina's brave journey with all here.

First, I am very sorry about Tigraki, but can well relate to what you are going through now. I had a cat, age 15, female, spayed, indoors only, who also had lung cancer. It was discovered by accident on X-ray while looking for something else. There were no obvious signs, coughing up blood...

I am very sorry your cat is having reoccurring corneal ulcers. My cat had her first corneal ulcer a year ago, but it healed on its own with Ofloxacin (antibiotic) drops and soothing eye gel. This year she got it again, but in both eyes, so I took her to an Ophthalmologist who said it was most...

Hi, Thank you AlexaB for your very kind words. My little girl Light would be so pleased that her battles with Bowen's helped you and your cat. How wonderful that you have a very caring, attentive vet. That's half the battle. And wonderful news that the new lesions were not malignant. But...

I have Miralax, but it is a fine line with my cat. She also has IBD and it doesn't take much to precipitate diarrhea. I see some using Epikitin which perhaps doesn't have the constipating side effect. Do you have any insights on that?

Thank you for your helpful response. The dosage the vet recommended has caused constipation, so I think I'm going to slow the Phosphate binder to 1/8 tsp twice a day to start, not 1/4 tsp twice a day. Yes, I do use the Tanya's website; very informative. Thanks!

Thank you for your response. I have a follow-up appointment with the vet in about 6 weeks. Fortunately, your kitty will eat prescription food, but at 21 1/2 years old, my vet said to feed her whatever she will eat. It's a juggling act for sure with meds, fluids, food, supplements etc.

Thank you so very much for sharing your detailed experience with your cat's Bowen's Disease as well as the good photos! It is a tribute to your persistence and going with your gut instinct. I am only reading this now as I've been off this site for a while dealing with a new issue with my cat...

How was Twyla's phosphorus value at your followup on July 1 @Twylasmom ? I ask because my cat was recently started on the Phosphorus binder from Thriving Pets too. Her Phosphorus was 6.4 and her weight is 3.1 kg (6.82lb.). According to my calculations from the Dr. Nagode's Protocol, she would...

I am very sorry you are in this position now. Been there...done that. I had a 15 year old indoor cat who had a presumed combination of immune mediated hemolytic anemia and anemia of chronic inflammatory. (He had IBD). It was presumed and successfully treated as such after tests ruled out...

That is great that you heard from your vet, and even better news that the SCC is IN SITU. Rather than worry at this point about the nosepad or foot, I suggest you consult with a good Vet Dermatologist ASAP. That vet can look at the nosepads, foot, and/or all over the body to determine if those...

I can well understand your stress over all this, but take a deep breath; take one step at a time. First, you need to get the biopsy report back. It usually takes 4-5 days up to a week. If that amount of time has passed, follow up. Before any treatment decisions can be made you need a...

First, welcome to this small, but specialized club...but sorry you have to be here. Like the rest of us, Bowen's Disease is diagnosed after a lengthy process where everything else is ruled out. Because it is so rare, vets are usually not knowledgeable about it. My vet admits she has only seen...
