Hi, I'm wondering if anyone else has ever had this reaction to Chlorambucil. My best friend, Catnip, was recently diagnosed with Small Cell Lymphoma in his intestinal tract. I gave my first dose of Chlorambucil 2 days ago. At 6:00 am I dosed Catnip, by 3:00 pm he was violently clawing at his mouth and gagging. I initially thought he was choking on something and raced him to my vet. At the vet he of course was scared and didn't claw at his mouth. The vet told me to call my cancer specialist if he started doing this again. As soon as I got home he began again and he looked like he was trying to pull his tongue out. He bloodied his paws as I was trying to reach the specialist. Wrapping his paws and hugging him to me I was able to get him to stop by massaging his neck. The vet tech checked with the temp vet and said they had never heard of this as a side effect of Chlorambucil. They said to stop giving the Chlorambucil till my regular specialist was back on Monday. Also, said if this continued he may be having a strange reaction to the drug like an allergy. They said to try Benadryl. Poor Catnip continued to try to claw out his tongue and I was able to get a Benadryl into him and syringe water to get it down. I had to continue to massage his throat and was able to get him to calm down. It helped to make him sleepy and stop pawing. He was sleepy the next day but is back to normal. I talk to the specialist Monday but I'm afraid they will want me to try it again. I do not plan to put him through this again but was wondering if any one else has ever had this issue?
