Hello everyone. The vet called me 10min. ago possible cancer, If it is cancer should I go with chemotherapy, Holistic, or put her to sleep? Thank you for any help.
To be honest, if chemo would have given Candy a good quality of life, I would have done it. But her cancer was too far advanced.Hey for ME personally I would not treat an animal for cancer. If suppose if they were a really young cat..but a 12 year old..for me NO. Having said that we did allow our vet to operate on my 5 year old male ragdoll. He had bladder crystals. As it turns out his issue was not due to diet but a congential abnormality. So he got a repair on his bladder and he is great now. All in all we are at abut 4000.00 for this cat. But cancer..I just don't know..my 12 year old himalyan had cancer...a tumor under his tongue. I spoiled him rotten for about a month and then had him put down.
Oh that's great she's eating again! Is she keeping it down? :cross:Princess was vomiting and not eating the vet gave me pills to stimulate appetite, she won't eat without the pill. She has been on the pill for 4 days and eats a 5.5oz can of wet food a day. She's urinating fine and her bowel movements take 50 seconds and are soft and thin, I'll be mixing powdered lactulose in her wet food. I have the liquid version of lactulose but Princess hates it. Her vet told me to call on friday for results of the sample.

She threw up twice yesterday both a little liquid colored like her food, and just 1hr ago some foamy white fluid. I had not thought of a pill for the nausea I'll ask her vet. Thanks.Cypro (Periactin) is the appetite stimulant. You might want to ask the vet about an anti-nausea med. Lazlo's issue was more nausea than anything else, and the Cerenia worked wonders for him. It was 1/4 of a pill once a day.
