And two weeks later.... LAZLO WEIGHS 12 POUNDS, 6 OUNCES! biggrin.gif

I am officially supposed to curtail how much he eats so he does not gain more weight! laughing02.gif

His hematocrit is 31%, so we are good to go for the second-to-last chemo treatment this Thursday. clap.gif

I talked to the vet about raw... she wants me to stick with HPP products for Lazlo, at least at first. The chemo and the pred both suppress his immune system, so just to be sure.... but she's really curious to see how things will go. laughing02.gif

THANK YOU ALL FOR SHARING THIS JOURNEY WITH US! hugs.gifhugs.gifhugs.gif

I called the Pet Supplies Plus in PA. They only carry NV raw frozen. We'll have to go to the store to find out if they can order other stuff- depends upon their supplier.
post #580 of 599
Just tell them Lazlo's story and tell them to tell the story to the supplier. biggrin.gifheartpump.gif - agree.gif Then they will order in anything you desire - how could they not. laughing02.gifcross.gifhugs.gif

Thanks. hugs.gif 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.

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. rolleyes.gif ).

Of course they are in opposite directions rolleyes.gifsigh.gif 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 dontknow.gif.... Anyway - glad you found some distributor's near you clap.gifclap.gif

YAY for Lazlo! clap.gif

it's so great to hear about his progress. Thanks to you and Gary for nursing him back to healthhugs.gif

I pray that the next 2 rounds of chemo take care of the bad cells once and for all.

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. laughing02.gifheartpump.gif

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. dontknow.gif

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. heartpump.gif

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). laughing02.gif

Well, Laurie - there aren't enough words to cover all the emotions that I'm feeling for you and Lazio right now. It's hard to balance Joy and Excitement with being Nervous and Unsure, especially about decisions that need to be made. 

 

I wish I had some words of wisdom to share - but, you alone know what is best for Lazio - and thus far you have a good support group around you to give you the pros and cons of what, if anything, to do next.  

 

He might become a poster child for feeding raw food, too.   laughing02.gif

 

(I wish I had the where-with-all to feed all of ours raw.  I'm hearing that people are even feeding the FeLV raw with success - amazing!)

 

Lazio, and all your gang, are blessed to have you caring for them, and as I said before - I'm confident that you'll know - when you need to know - what sort of medical attention Lazio will require. 

 

Maybe just letting him "rest", and giving him good, life-giving food, and loving, is all he needs right now?  smile.gif

 

Blessings Laurie,

g

His blood work was "perfect." clap.gif His hematocrit was a little lower (27%), but good, his BUN higher - but that's because of the raw diet, that's normal. biggrin.gif

He GAINED weight since we pulled the kibble and put them all on raw. laughing02.gif He's back to 12.6 pounds. We'll slowly get to work on that - he should be around 11.5. smile.gif

He's doing GREAT! heartpump.gifcross.gif
