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 been done, ultrasound shows enlarge lymph nodes and a space occupying lesion since 3/21. Also hyperthyroid and severe dental disease that cannot be treated for the same reasons I can’t biopsy. She won’t survive anesthesia.
She is a wonderful cat. I have her on Methimazole, Prednisolone, Chlorambucil ( chemo), Vit b injections, SQ fluids, Odansetron, and a novel protein diet.
She used to love to sleep on my head. She would scream at me from the time I walked in the door till I sat down on the couch with her.
In 2017 I had to have her cat friend Rusty euthanized due to CKD. After that she would spend hours in the carrier I had taken him to the vet in the very last time. She did that for about a year.
There are days like today when I don’t want to leave her, but I have to to get the horse out, or work etc.
I guess I have no idea why I am writing this.
I work for a cat vet. I have done this type of work 30+ years. Why do I continue to keep cats that need homes, when I know that this is going to be the outcome.
Has anyone on here used Chinese medicine, herbs etc anything for a cat with intestinal lymphoma that has increased the cat’s quality of life? Cheetah prefers to be by herself most of the time now.
The “new” rescue I took home “ Omahpaw” the happy, dorky, playful, team player, I brought in a few months ago doesn’t understand any of it. He just news by the door to go outside. He is around 3 yrs.
I only have the 2.
If you made it this far, thank you. Now off to care for the dork of a rescue horse.
