Search Results for Query: prednisolone for kidney lymphoma

Hi everyone, My 18 year old car has been diagnosed with kidney lymphoma. My vet, in consultation with a veterinary oncologist, had suggested a low dose of prednisolone to start with, and then chlorambucil as a treatment later on. Vet believes chlorambucil has a lot more side effects than...

My cat Musiaka hasn’t been doing well lately. He’s lost a huge amount of weight and is ravenous whole day long, increased peeing and pooping as well. At some point he started urinating exclusively on the sofa but it stopped once we changed the litter. He’s also vomiting extra much lately and...

I have posted about my sweet Orange before. He was "diagnosed" back in March of 2023 with possible IBD or possible SCL. The ultrasound doctor (forgive my lack of correct medical terminology) said it was "consistent with IBD" but that we couldn't rule out SCL without a biopsy. We chose not to do...

My kitty is 18 years old. About a month and a half ago, he went to see the vet for a health exam and had his blood work done. Results came back and my vet informed me that he has kidney disease. My cat’s blood work also showed a high level of globulins (an image of the blood work is...

... not for acute, temporary pain or surgical related relief, and not through injection or topical. This is looking for input from folks who administer this med at home to their cats because of chronic pain, due to things like arthritis or cancer, for example. All the information on the...

Just a heads up for awareness on potential Purina issues. It does not mention recall but many sick cats and dogs are being linked. Consumers allege Purina products behind pet illnesses/deaths

Hello all, I hope that everyone is safe and well. This is my first post ... really I'm just looking for other people's experience if possible please. We have a (nearly) 13-yo cat who is absolutely my little treasure. We nearly lost her last year to what they initially said was large-cell...

In late December/early January, we decided to switch Missy (indoor, age 6, spayed) to wet cat food for her health after years of dry. We did not have any issues switching her to wet over a period of a week or so. We had always free-fed dry, so I didn’t really know how much Missy was eating...

Hello Everyone, My cat Mumu is continuing her journey as an unsighted cat. She had a recheck with the ophthalmologist today, and her superficial corneal ulcer in her right eye is still not healing (healed in the left eye) after superficial debridement with a cotton swab last week, serum eye...

Three days ago, I made the decision to have my incredibly sweet, gentle, playful cat of 16 years put to sleep at home. As much as I loved her, it was not a hard decision. She was at the time lying stretched out, ramrod straight, panting unevenly, and unresponsive to my touch or voice. I had...

I have a 7 year old female Maine Coon that has recently lost an alarming 3lbs. I can now feel her bones sticking out through her coat. In addition, she has developed a voracious appetite where she's eating upwards of 5 large cans of food each day, about 25 ozs. I've been able to stabilize her...

Hi, I apologize in advance as this is probably a very long post. First some history before I get into my question: We have lost 3 cats in an 18 month span during the pandemic (lymphoma, CKD and then another confirmed gastro disease (I can't remember the name) that has only been recently...

Just wanted to give an update to my last post, in case this helps anyone in the future. I spoke with our regular vet and she said that even though kidney levels are down, he still is considered to have CKD since he previously had levels at "beginning stages". It's a lot of overwhelming stuff...

Hello, this is my first post here. Unfortunately, it's not under the best conditions. I've been doing a lot of reading the last few days trying to learn about what might be ailing my cat (including many posts from this site). She is 15, but has always been very energetic. That all changed about...

Has anyone's cat had any problems after a fine needle aspiration? I'm pretty sure I am going to need emotional support in the days to come.

After having waiting over 2 weeks, I finally got the full results of Geoffrey's biopsy: Small Cell Lymphoma... dam.. Very very early. In fact, Dr B said that if we did the endoscopy 6 months earlier, it probably would not have shown up on biopsy. I guess the biopsy came back: first layer--IBD...

Six months ago, Molly had pancreatitis. The specialty vet did a needle biopsy on the intestines and the results came back as "inconclusive". She was diagnosed with IBD. I thought she was out of the woods, as she is doing so much better with a change of diet. But she threw up (water) this...

It's a long story but our 13 yo cat was diagnosed with early kidney disease and the vet made us switch her to a prescription diet, which ended up doing more harm than good. She ate it for a few weeks but eventually got sick of it. As it turns out, she should not have been put on the CKD diet in...

My 15 yr old Bengal was diagnosed with IBD although that diagnosis may not be accurate since I didn't want to put him thru the biopsy procedure at this age. He has had regular blood tests, a special blood tests, x-rays, etc. The vet suggested B12 injections since it was low... other results...

I’ve written about Cheetah before. 12 y fs tabbicco dsh many generations feral mountain cat that I got when she was 4 months old after she fell 30 feet down a dried up water well when she was 4 months old. She has asthma, IBD, now intestinal lymphoma is highly suspected although biopsy has not...
