Search Results for Query: Lukeran

Unfortunately we lost him last December. We caught the problem very late. We started with steroids and B12 shots, and it seemed to help a little. Then we tried chemo and generally he didn’t take to it very well so we let him go. We never tried Pectalin, he was on Prednisolone and later Lukeran.

No she isn't any of the foods that I brought her. And I looked up an oncologist near me and I sent them an email but no reply so first thing in the morning I am going to call them.

...thread links on this site that talk about Leukeran. Maybe there is some helpful information for you in them? Search Results for Query: Lukeran | TheCatSite If it were me, I would pursue a meeting with an oncologist just to see what my options might be. You can ask for a referral from your...

Good Evening everyone, I am curious as to if anyone on here has any positive experiences with chlorambucil? I, of course, have read the not so positive posts on it. My kitty has stopped responding to prednisolone so now it is time for chlorambucil. She is, like many other on here...

Hi Jen70720. I have had three cats on Lukeran/chlorambucil. The first was on it for a little over a year for an autoimmune disease in the sinus. It tended to make him a bit lethargic the day after taking and he has some reduction of appetite, but we handled that with cyproheptadine. The...

...true experiences/help. I need your honest opinion. Here is what we can do. What would you do and why? (1) Continue steroids, advance to Lukeran (generic version); (2A) Oncologist visit, US and fine needle to confirm tumor type, then perhaps.... (2B) Surgery to remove tumor, then back to #1...

I have a Calico cat sitting on my lap right now on Lukeran.  She has IBD and also a bladder tumor.  She tolerates Lukeran very well because I offset any potential nausea with Cerenia which I give the evening prior to the Lukeran.  Lukeran is compounded by a pet pharmacy into a prescribed...

This is to thank everyone who responded. Our beloved Sandy passed last night on her own. My children were able to say goodbye to her two days ago with a long iteration of comforting her per my warning the end was near. My wife and I both force fed her drops of water and baby food last night and...

...enough calories. This complicates recovery greatly.  Once pancreatitis sets in, it is like a wildfire.  Intravenous fluid therapy, pain management, anti-nausea therapy and nutritional support is key.  Lukeran will not help unless you get the pancreatitis under control.  The sooner the better.

...day, but will ask on Monday. I'm very curious though about possible alternative treatments. He is currently on the standard prednisilone and lukeran, but we are currently unsure about how much these drugs are helping. My vet has mentioned switching to some other types of chemo drugs soon, but...

Hi! I'm new to this forum. My kittie maya is diagnosed with small cell lymphoma (11yrs old). She is on Lukeran once a week and Dexamethazone (stereoid) 2mg Injection every day, She is on her 4th week and doing pretty good. Till now-no side effects. Wish all the best for Your kittie.

...or multiple myeloma.  The vet said she has an unusal presentation.  The cancer is extensive.  We decided do prednisilone and then perhaps lukeran depending on how she responds.  Her appetite has come back a bit which is nice to see.  Hopefully she will have more comfortable days.  I hope...

@MissMindy ..... I am really sorry to hear of your cat Mindy having extensive cancer.  I don't have any experience with the treatment of this disease, but want to offer you encouragement to stay strong at this difficult time. ... I just read your thread, and have to say that you members are so...

...Fiji with small cell lymphoma. Fiji is currently taking 5mg of Prednisolone and 5mg of Pepcid 2 times per day.  She is now also taking Lukeran 2mg every other day.  Last night was her second dose of Lukeran.  She seems to be tolerating it well.  She seems to be eating good and her relative...

...and similar treatment regardless of whether a biopsy would show IBD or lymphoma, we decided to forgo a scope/biopsy and instead start him on Lukeran, Mirtazapine, Budesonide (in the hopes it wouldn't trigger his diabetes) and Tumil K. That was 2 months ago. He showed some improvement in his...

...chicken flavor form, so I'm hoping they might be able to come up with something. I can handle pilling her a couple times a week with the lukeran-it's the twice daily pred battle that is wearing us out. On a positive note, the cystitis seems to have let up. She is dealing with some diarrhea...

...know. Should I ask the vet to examine him (with me present) before I make a decision? Should I just let them board him and observe him while we're gone? Maybe fluids and an appetite stimulant would help? I am considering asking to do the Lukeran every 4th day instead of every 3rd day. Thoughts?

...keep it down. His red blood cell count was normal, but may have decreased after the blood work. My husband and I just discussed using the Lukeran in addition to the prednisolone. I think we are going to call the vet back and try that as well. It's not terribly expensive and from what I've...

...- just like having a baby!  He did eat a tiny bit of moistened dry food. . . but I will probably syringe feed him again tonight.  Without the Lukeran, I'm hoping his appetite comes back. . . but I'm not holding my breath.  I don't know why I was thinking he'd be "healthy" when I picked him up...
