Before we could get the appointment, Edgar died today. He was laying on my Lap with his head in my hand, the way he liked to nap since he was a kitten.

Edgar is no longer having good days and we've made the decision to let him go. Thank you all for the support. I really hoped for a different outcome. I feel like I tried everything I could. If I could change anything I would have maintained the prednisone dose and started sub q fluids earlier...

Edgar's lost weight. The move was hard on him. He's adjusting slowly. He doesn't love all the windows like Id hoped but it's quiet and I know he likes that! He's back on 7.5 mg prednisone and eating better. I give him sub q fluids at 100 ml a day. He had his chemo on the 9th and that's when...

@Loriloveskitties how's spike doing? Unfortunately, I woke up at 7am to the sound of construction and Edgar vomiting for the first time in 2 weeks. He's so stressed and there's nothing I can do. I have 2 sound machines, the bathroom vent fan running and the radio on but I still hear sawing...

Hi everyone! Edgar's been doing so well I've almost forgotten he's sick. I think that's why i haven't been here. Everyday he's eating so well and playing. He's his old self. He hasn't needed any nausea meds. He's only taking prednisone every other day at 5mg now. I don't know if it's the...

@Loriloveskitties, thank you! We're just getting through each day. I feel the tumour because he's getting thinner and it's getting larger. I've lost hope about shrinking the cancer and am focusing Edgar's comfort and happiness. The prednisone makes all the difference. He's barely eating so...

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate the support. Today, Edgar ate a few bites of bone marrow but he was making a strange noise when eating it. It sounded like a rattle or gasp. I noticed a lump for the first time today. pictures were taken yesterday.

I hope you guys are doing okay. :heartshape::vibes:

Edgar had his scans today and the lymphoma has progressed. He started a new treatment called Lomustine and he received a 10mg capsule. They put him back on prednisone 7.5 mg. His weight went down to 7.8 lb. After taking the prednisone he came and sat in my lap. He climbed the steps and talked to...

Edgar update: I wish i could say that he's doing well but he's barely eating and mostly lethargic. It's getting to where i feel really awful for stretching this out. The oncology visit is Friday and scans will be done. Edgar's spending all day in the sunroom looking out and sleeping. He...

Hi! @Loriloveskitties The vet took him off of prednisone. He didn't have to get chemo today because some weeks there are breaks. I thought not having chemo he would have a little more energy and appetite but he is having a bad day today. :(

@kittyprincesss I'm so sorry to hear about your sweet girl. We found out Edgar has large cell lymphoma Jan 2 after he started having symptoms exactly a month ago. He has had 4 weekly treatments of chemo (Madison Wisconsin Protocol) that rotates 3 chemotherapy drugs, Vincristine, Cytoxan, and...

Hi! I hope your talk with the vet goes well. That's good news about Yoshi getting her appetite back again. I'm with you on the roller-coaster :sniffle::woohoo::sigh: To answer your question, I totally spy on Edgar's poop's. It may be constipation because he is refusing the commercial cat food...

I agree with them about the anti-nausea and the sub-q fluids! That being said, Edgar is on Cerenia but was still smacking and walking away from food, seemingly nauseated, Mon-Wed morning. After sub-q fluids and Cerenia by injection he came home ready to eat. I think his appetite came back due to...

It's been a rough couple of days! I panicked and took Edgar to the Emg vet Wed only to have them tell me there's no worry until he hasn't eaten for 4-5 days. His weight drops so fast when he doesn't eat, I can feel his bones. I can feel the difference and it scares me. So, they gave him fluids...

Hi Spike's mom, I'm glad that I've been helpful to you! Edgar had a really good day yesterday, but he isn't eating anything but broth today. I love how Spike would nudge you to watch him eat. That is the sweetest thing! Edgar is not okay with syringe feeding. It made him so angry when I tried...

Hi Lori, I'm so sorry about Spike. With Edgar, he doesn't eat when he is nauseated, so if I can control the nausea he starts eating again. The oncologist gave him Cerenia and said it is the best med for chemo treatment, but before going to him I had given Edgar Zofran/Ondansetron (without vet...

Today was edgar's 3rd chemo treatment. Yesterday, he didn't eat well after his 9am feeding. I gave him prednisone before i left for work and when I came back at 6pm he hadn't eaten anything but chicken broth DH said. I have him cerenia for nausea and he threw up half an hour later. I woke at...

Edgar has been so lethargic that I've been worried he has a fever after the Cytoxan treatment Friday. His temperature has been normal though. This morning I tried a bit of peanut butter on the prednisone and he took them better, less trying to chew them. I'm not working today, other than billing...
