Hi, my cat Cherry who is 8 has been recently diagnosed with intestinal lymphoma through biopsies taken. Vomiting and increased appetite started last August with numerous tests done to rule out thyroid problems and kidney failure. The vets then thought IBD but then got this sad news. I've opted for the chemo with Prednisone given at home every other day and IV every week at the vets. She also has Antepsid twice daily to reduce acid build up as she also has mildly chronic gastoenteritus. It's murder though getting her take this so resorted to putting it in her food. Her response to the chemo has been very hit and miss (she's had 4sessions so far) but I have noticed her appetite has increased even more to the point that when I'm at home all day I'm feeding her up to 20 small meals just to stop her meowing at me constantly. I've tried giving her larger meals but found that she still wolfs this down and is hungry again half hour later.
I feed her wet food and high supplement cat milk. She also has tinned tuna twice daily with her antepsid on, She loves dry food but I've found this bloats her then she tends to vomit within 24hrs. Can anyone suggest food that I could give her to satisfy her appetite?
Many thanks.
