At least initially, because of the majorly immuno-suppressant nature of the chemotherapy (and the prednisolone), she wants me to stick with pathogen-free products. Only Stella & Chewy's, Nature's Variety, and the Primal Poultry use the High Pressure Processing process. S&C doesn't have frozen raw for cats, but the formulas for dogs are supplement with enough taurine.
).
Of course they are in opposite directionsThanks.
I've been pricing out frozen raw, and price becomes prohibitive with the shipping prices, so I have to find places where I can purchase it here. I found a Primal distributor about an hour from here, and a Nature's Variety distributor about 20-25 minutes from here (unfortunately they're opposite directions.
BUT - you have that option and if you are able to use that friend's freezer then you can stock up and only make the drive a couple of times a month :dk:.... Anyway - glad you found some distributor's near you

This is a HUGE HUGE MASSIVELY, AMAZING DAY What an incredible, miraculous, worthwhile, loving journey you have been on with Lazlo. Every step of the way, the ups and the downs, you have been strong and stoic for your baby boy. It truly is a miracle and a gift, Laurie. And I honestly am joining in on the joy and wonder of this long battle you fought with :king: Lazlo tonight and celebrating this successful outcome. Just BEAMING and SO positive for many, many more months of good health and good eating :lol3:. I would try to keep the weight up too.... Keep that boy fat and happy :rub: :rub: Please give Lazlo a big 
from me tonight. Love to you :heart3: :9:
Stunningly, beautiful picture of a very, very special and lucky kitty....... He is so deeply loved by many too, and so are you 
AND.

:heart3:
That says it all!LDG said:
that he continues to for a very long time!
Thank you all SO MUCH for all your support through this. :heart3:
His hematocrit was a little lower (27%), but good, his BUN higher - but that's because of the raw diet, that's normal.
His blood work was "perfect."His hematocrit was a little lower (27%), but good, his BUN higher - but that's because of the raw diet, that's normal.
He GAINED weight since we pulled the kibble and put them all on raw.He's back to 12.6 pounds. We'll slowly get to work on that - he should be around 11.5.
He's doing GREAT!
:sun: SUPER SUPER NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love that he is gaining a bit of weight too - so very happy for you, sweetie :heart3: Please give :king: Lazlo a special and :rub: from me tonight. His new raw diet will definitely help with his overall health too. Just wonderful, happy news!!!!! Thanks for the update too :heart3: 
.THE LAST CHEMO TREATMENT!
After 6 months and 20 chemo treatments, Lazlo "graduated." We're nervous and excited: no more chemo. Since he handled it so well, and has done so well, it's kind of been like a security blanket. :lol3: :heart3:
We haven't decided whether or not we'll have an ultrasound done to get a new baseline for where the tumor in his tummy stands. As each round of chemo becomes less and less effective, we don't know if we'd go another round or not when that time comes. :dk:
One thing for sure? We're so very, very, VERY glad we chose this route this time. Lazlo feels fabulous, looks fabulous, and we feel very, very blessed to have had this new lease on life for our very first indoor-only rescue baby boy. :heart3:
BTW, he weighed 12.1 pounds. Doc was very happy - he's been on raw for almost two weeks. With NO kibble at all, she thinks this is great and was very pleased. She wants him at around 11.5 pounds anyway (and we're feeding him for his ideal weight). :lol3:
He weighs 12.5 pounds. He's sleek and muscular. He's playing like a kitten, demanding attention, and QUITE the Dictator (no longer benevolent! :lol3: ) as alpha cat. He knows what he wants, he asks for it - er - demands it - and is incredibly persistent if we try to ignore him. :lol3: :heart2: :rub:
