My beloved 11 year old cat was recently diagnosed with lymphoma. He has been on a small amount of steroids every other day for years because of asthma and has done fantastically with it (although it may have masked the lymphoma symptoms for awhile). The vet drastically increased his steroid...

Hi My little girl is 15. She is done beautifully on a treatment protocol for small cell lymphoma over the past year and 1/2. I’m inquiring if anyone else has a similar situation and if they have gotten cat ultrasound. She had an endoscopy and biopsy which indicated the lymphoma, but I’m...

...losing weight), and based on the results of the ultrasound (thickened intestines?), the vet said the most likely culprits are either IBD or lymphoma, her guess is low-grade. she told me i should consider a biopsy, which would be able to say if its lymphoma or not. there are some things i am...

Our cat Loki was diagnosed with lymphoma at 13 years old. His only real symptom was major weight loss. We treated him with chlorambucil (3 times per week) and prednisolone every day. I had read (and our vet and our daughter who is also a vet confirmed) that since lymphoma in cats is not very...

Sorry to hear about Loki, and thank you for sharing your experience. Like most here, it seems that there are no major symptoms like loss of appetite. If I may ask, how did they diagnose him? was it through surgery?

...back to normal, but getting better. The thing was, he lost about a pound since his previous visit and the vet started thinking that it was lymphoma and took him back and gave him a steroid shot. However, she never took any tissue samples. I brought him back two weeks after that appointment...

My 15 year old cat ( soon to be 16) was just diagnosed with small cell lymphoma of the intestines after taking X-rays , blood test , ultrasound of abdomen , CT of chest and then a biopsy performed after a colonoscopy. Thursday she was prescribed a steroid and I was told to f/ u with oncology...

...every few days. today they did an ultrasound and found thickening in her duodenum, and swollen lymph nodes. the vet said its either ibd or lymphoma. she's only 2. they did an FNA and a blood panel today so we'll get official next steps when the results come in. everything ive read says the...

The thickening of the intestinal mucosal layer is what they would see with intestinal lymphoma. Also some enlarged lymph nodes in the abdomen as well.

...do an ultrasound? Before my cat ( 19 at that time) had been diagnosed with IBD they wanted to do a ultrasound to determine if she had IBD or lymphoma. I ask well either way you are going to give her prednisolone right? They said yes that's right, so I asked to start her on that. In this case...

I am not sure if it's intestinal lymphoma because the suspected mass in above the stomach and near the liver as I recall, but whatever it is, I hope it's something simple and treatable. I think I will check with them if Ultrasound is possible to get a diagnosis before going in the surgery.

It's been a while since I've been here. My dear Chloe has been diagnosed with Hodgkin's-like lymphoma . I've never experienced this before since Chloe is my first pet. I'm also having a hard time finding information about it, it seems like it's not a common form of cancer. Has anyone had...

Oh I'm so very sorry. I've lost two beloved kitties to lymphoma, it's so sad. They are family members and it's so heartbreaking to lose them. My heart goes out to you. :hugs: Rest in peace, little Sonic. :rbheart:

Hi. Steroids shouldn’t complicate FIV. I have known cats with FIV and lymphoma that did well with chemotherapy. That said, if it is an adenocarcinoma, those are nasty tumors. Did the rest of the ultrasound show consistency with lymphoma such as thickened intestinal mucosa lining? Was the...

I am so sorry to hear about Kobi. We have been through the exact same situation. A little over 2 years ago our cat Loki was diagnosed with lymphoma. He had lost significant weight but was still eating. Our vet prescribed Chlorambucil and Prednisolone. Our daughter who is also a vet agreed...

Hello everyone, my 11-yr old girl Haylie was just diagnosed with small cell lymphoma. We already had her on prednisone since her endoscopy last week, but I'm low-key freaking out at the cost of chlorambucil (Leukeran) @ $40/pill that needs to be given every other day. What has your experience...

He does not have any diagnosed allergy, but the nutritionist explained to me that small cell lymphoma is often a consequence of IBD and that there is no consensus on diet for small cell lymphoma...the safest approach is to treat like IBD.

With Cheetah, who also has small cell intestinal lymphoma, when she has “bad” days, I give her SQ fluids, and buprenorphine and will up her Prednisolone from every other evening to every evening. Obviously you have to check with the vet before making any changes to his medical plan. Just letting...

Has anyone had experience/dealing with your cat having been diagnosed with probable IBD or lymphoma? My cat has been vomiting after he eats nearly every day and has been on pepsid and anti nausea meds for at least a couple of weeks now with no help most days. He is on a raw diet of rabbit and...

My heart goes out to you. We lost our kitty a couple of years ago to intestinal lymphoma. It's not a fun road to walk with your kitty. Praying for good news for you both.
