I somehow put the wrong date she passed. I know it won't change anything but I feel compelled to correct my misstatement. August 17th, 2018 is the day I lost my Sweet Girl. 8/16/05-8/17/18

@jen , I am so, so sorry to hear. :( I know time will ease our pain but our lives will never be the same. @cat1967 I am sorry to hear your other baby is now sick. Have you sought another opinion? An Internist perhaps? Perhaps check out CBD oil also. Many have reported it a miracle for things...

Unfortunately, my beautiful, sweet baby, Daisy, passed away on August 18th, 2018. She was seeming quite ill after a couple of weeks into her treatment. I was bringing her to a new vet for a second opinion and she started gasping for air. They couldn't save her. Shortly before this I was feeding...

@jen I'm so sorry to hear about your situation. I hope you're both doing ok. I think you just have to decide quality of life. If your kitty has small cell lymphoma, it can be treated orally so I would discuss that with your vet very soon. If it's large cell lymphoma, that is a much more...

Hi there. Sorry I haven't updated in a while. It's been a long road of sleepless nights. It's still early in her treatment to really know her progress, I think. She's currently on 2.25 mg Chlorombucil, twice per week. 5mg Prednisolone once per day. 8mg Cerenia once per day. 1/4 tab Famotadine...

@silkenpaw She does not show signs of nausea like she did for so long. She used to lick her lips a lot and I never thought anything of it. Poor girl. She was sick for a long time and I never knew. She was extremely nauseous the morning after one Chlorambucil dose. Otherwise she seems ok...

@babiesmom5 ImI not speaking with the oncologist directly as her care plan is being managed locally, and they consult with her. I was thinking to try and call her though, because it's still soon after the Dx. She said something about after 3 months needing to see her again in order to provide...

Hello all, My kitty was Dx with intestinal lymphoma and is on many medications presently. She's been on Cerenia the longest though, because this journey began with her vomiting every day. Her appetite dwindled slowly because she was vomiting and nauseous. She started Chlorombucil 2.5 weeks ago...

Hello All. We decided to do the biopsy. The results came in today, and Miss Daisy has small cell intestinal lymphoma. She will be on Chlorombucil once we get it in, and I just started her on Prednisolone this evening. I am grateful that we now know what exactly we're up against, and just hope...

I would like to think we'd treat with chemo if it's cancer. Small cell seems to be chlorombucil/leukeran. Large cell is more aggressive and harder. We are thinking we will see what we're up against and do next steps from there. She's our baby and I don't think we would forgive ourselves for...

My regular vet and the oncology vet we saw said endoscopy could likely yield inconclusive results if a sample wasn't deep enough. The oncology vet said endoscopy wasn't an option, and for the reason above. Our regular vet offered it (would have to be done by a different vet) but said the same...

Someone in a FB group I am just got her biopsy results back and her kitty has both small and large cell lymphoma. She waited to do the biopsy, and her kitty wasn't responding well to the treatments. Biopsy was the next step in determining why, what she had so they could treat properly. She...

I just spoke with our regular vet and he said if we don't do biopsy, we'd only treat with steroids and if she does have cancer, of course that means she won't get the proper treatment. The big question is IF we'd treat with chemo IF it's cancer. And he won't treat for cancer until he knows what...

@babiesmom5 Endoscopic isn't an option, they told me. They do not think they can get a good enough sample that way, or it's too far for them to go. I can't recall which. Also, they can't aspirate the intestine. They considered that when they were aspirating the lymph node and her spleen. They...

@cat1967 Thank you so much for your reply. I may have not communicated properly; the PARR test that was already performed, which was basically cytology of some sort, on the aspiration of her lymph node, is what they told me at the office was 90% accurate, and on the phone today said 60%...

We just got the call for our kitty's PARR results. It was negative for cancer DNA. But the vet said it's correct in 60% of cases. (Though when we were there she told us it was 90% accurate) Now she's recommending surgical biopsy, and we're torn on whether we want to put her through that. I'm...

Thank you so much. It means a lot to us. Pilling has been tough. I need to perfect my technique, and practice with the pill popper. She's sly. And it is so sad and stressful. I make sure to give her lots of kisses and talk to her while I do it. I haven't syringe fed her yet, because of...

I have thought about turmeric. I had just started looking it up the other day so thank you for that link! She has mirtazapine as an appetite stimulant, but the other day when we gave it to her, I think her nausea was out of control so it didn't do anything. I have not syringe fed yet. I was...

You are right- we weren't able to start the prednisolone because of the chance we will need biopsy. The surgery for that is very invasive. She is 13 years old, and really, really, really not feeling well despite anti-nausea medications. But she is just miserable. She won't eat. Even with...
