Hi all I am new to the site and have been researching all around the web. My cat Max was diagnosed yesterday with Lymphoma. I noticed him being sick last Friday and on Sunday I sat on the floor for him to come to me. He got up off the couch, took 2 steps, and then fell to his side...apparently either tired or hurting.
Yesterday when I was told of his condition, I opted for chemo and they went ahead and administered his first dose and I was able to pick him up and bring him home. I've been wondering when I can expect to see improvements out of him. He has been laying on the couch since I bought him home and I did notice him go to the cat box to do his business overnight. Whenever my wife and I show him attention, he just sits there seeming very weak and his pupils are dilated. He is also still having trouble walking and when he gets up to adjust himself on the couch, he just plops back down, seeming tired or hurting. His feeding is less, but luckily he is in fact eating.
What do you all think I should expect? I really do not want him suffering and I am not sure of the signs of pain and what not. When I mentioned to the vet the option of letting him rest, she told me that she prefered that I do not choose that option. I just need some insight on the situation in regards to what I should look for and what not.
Thanks!
