    Looking for Palladia "success" stories...

    I am sorry, I don’t have experience with that medication in cats, other than with oral squamous cell carcinoma. As far as I know, the drug is well tolerated in cats.

    Radiation cancer therapy worth it? Side Effects?

    No tumor in the jaw bone, no jaw bone anymore. Luke has squamous cell carcinoma (oral). It grows fast in size but is slow to spread into other types of tumors. other face parts doen't "have a tumor" it's just a plum sized tumor in his face where the other parts should be.

    Oral Tumor in our 16-year-old

    Hi @__caitlin ! Most oral tumors seem to be squamous cell types. While you wait for replies here, you might want to post the same question to the Facebook community formed just for this: Feline Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Hope that may help.

    Oral Tumor in our 16-year-old

    My cat passed away from oral cancer, squamous cell carcinoma under the tongue. From noticing his first symptom of little saliva by his mouth, to not being able to eat, was just six days. It was a terrible shock how he became so sick in such a short time.

    Oral squamous cell carcinoma in cats. Questions about Palladia and early detection. Cute picture for cat tax!

    ...I made an appointment with a dental specialist 4 hours away. We're going tomorrow. I have a suspicion that this is oral squamous cell carcinoma. She does not have bleeding or drooling, though. Questions: 1. All sources say FOSCC is not curable. If the cancer is caught early, is not in...

    ...mouth pain. They noticed a red, painful lump on her gums on the same side the abscess was on. They said it was possibly oral squamous cell carcinoma OR another abscess. They sent us home with a Convenia injection and buprenorphine and told us to wait three weeks. Knowing how quickly these...

    Feline Lymphoma?

    ...not continuing on with treating anything which would require the removal of the mandible. I lost a cat years ago to oral squamous cell carcinoma and even the biopsy left her in extreme discomfort.

    Sudden excessive drool

    I love that we cat-owners need to choose our plants based on the fact that our cats will eat them. :lol: Yes, our plants are cat-safe. We generally do not bother with deterrents. In this case we have a diluted neem oil-based spray that we're using to treat scale on some of the plants. It is...

    Dental trouble or mouth cancer?

    I’m so sorry for your loss. About 9 months ago I lost my 12 year guy to oral cancer. He declined in less than a week. He was still wanting to eat just like your Larry, but was unable to. My vet didn’t do a biopsy but told me it was most likely squamous cell carcinoma because it grows very fast...

    Feline Lymphoma?

    I didn't think I would shed actual tears, but I have. Thank you. He was a great kitty. I keep half expecting to go into my room and see him on the bed. Alas, that won't happen. I didn't think I would shed tears, but I did. I cried for the first time since 7th grade. I didn't even cry when I...

    Oral Tumor in our 16-year-old

I noticed that she would drop some kibbles every now and then, the vets said it was a gingivitis, but after a couple of weeks I found a drop of blood on the floor and noticed that mass under her tongue. The diagnosis was a shock...

    Pray for the best - I think Zoe has oral cancer

    I lost her father to oral squamous cell carcinoma about a year ago. Her chin is getting bigger and bigger. I was thinking it was just acne. I bottle fed her and her two brothers. Trapped and brought in the mother and father later. I see cats living 17-21 years now, but I have not been so...

    Pancreatitis (on cerenia and metroclorpramid, refuzes to eat even after mirtazapine)

    Lymphoma is possible in the throat, but I should not have assumed that (sorry). To try to 'redeem' myself :paranoid:, I did find these articles - Palladia® (toceranib) in Dogs & Cats - The Pet Oncologist Evaluating Palladia in cats with oral squamous cell carcinoma - EveryCat Health Foundation

    Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Radiation/Palladia

    I don't have anything to offer other than support from a distance. My boy was diagnosed with oral squamous cell carcinoma October 2021 and it was deemed terminal by multiple specialists. It's tough. I wish you the best with the time you and Holly have left. My only advice is to photo and...
