Hi,
We're new here...after just spending $3,000 to find out what's wrong with our 12 yr. old cat I thought I might need some support!
The biopsy will be in tomorrow, but the vet feels fairly certain that Binkey has feline intestinal lymphoma. She has lost a terrible amount of weight...is basicly anarexic (sp?). She is a large cat and now weighs only 8 lbs. Skin and bones!!
We were told to feed her anything she will eat. I have tried most all of the canned foods. I wonder if anyone else out there has dealt with this and might have some suggestions.
She is on an appetite stimulant, Zantac and a stool softener of some type. If it is lymphoma for sure - it could be IBS - she will go on prednisone and chemotherapy. Meanwhile I just need to get her to eat!!!
Any suggestions? Anyone else with a cat who has feline lymphoma?
Thanks!
