Try researching Taurine or Vit A deficiency. I know what you are going through. I feel the say way about my cat Smokey. He will pull through.

I'm sorry to hear about Spot. 10 days is really fast. Peace be with you, Spot. I really don't know what to say. You must have a heart of gold to care for so many. As for Bullseye taking Metacam, Anti-inflammatory drugs are supposed to slow down the growth of cancer -- so Bullseye is...

By the way, what is metacam? They gave me Buprinex to drop .2 ml under his tongue for pain every 12 hours. It only seems to make him loopy, anti-social and he doesn't seem to care if he starves to death. So now I only give him half a dose every 24 hours (right before I go to bed at night)...

Thanks to everyone for their support. I hope that Bullseye and Smokey will do well. I bought a veterinary manual on cancer in dogs & cats. The surgeon is supposed to take careful precautions against spreading the tumor when they perform the biopsy. The spread of cancer this way is called...

Smokey saw the oncologist today. She said that there was nothing they could do. He probably has 2 weeks at best. In a way I'm kind of relieved that I don't have to decide about the deforming surgery, feeding tube, chemo & radiation that would probably only extend his life briefly anyways...

Smokey jumped out of my arms as I was placing him in the car yesterday morning. We ran after him but he was long gone and didn't come home until nightfall. The earliest they could reschedule him is next Tuesday morning. I didn't want to force him into a carrier -- I guess next time we will...

Yes, I meant November. I didn't even realize that I wrote February. We are going to see Dr. Freeman at the Northwest Veterinary Specialists in Clackamas. We've never been there, Smokey's local vet referred us. I think he probably already had it a couple of years ago, the vet thought he had...

My cat was just diagnosed with oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma on Feb 24, 2006 (the day after Thanksgiving). We have an appointment with an oncologist tomorrow to see how bad it is. Everything that I have read online is heartbreaking -- so I'm trying to prepare myself. We are also in the...
