Hi, this is Pam, mom for JuneAmy. Altho I have no
FeLv kitties, I have been so grateful for the help that has already come from
those here even tho I have not been on your list, that I had to
join.
I will post her story later but suffice to say
right now that she has large cell lymphoma. Big mass in the abdomen, & more
thorughout the liver, spleen, intestines & lymph nodes. She was diagnosed a
week ago today. Had hse been a old kitty (& I am not at all sure how old she
is but think she is probably older than what I have been told), I would probably
have let her go with that diagnosis, which was pretty grim. But I let the
vets at U of WI vet hospital give her a watered down injection of L'spar &
started her on 1`0 mg of pred last week as a trial. They thought to start
the full U of WI protocol would kill her.
She responded just enough for them to decide to go
ahead & today she got Vincristine. I am not at all sure I am doing the right
thing. But my feeling is that I have to try. I could just treat her
with pred & natural supplements, which is very tempting, & it may come
to that depending on how she does, but I have been encouraged by those who know
us, to try.
Right now she is so tired. I fed her some "lunch"
of Purina DM on comimg home but she needs to rest. As I type, I am also watching
her breathing & thinking she is having some mild difficulty. I don't know.
Going to be a long evening/night.
Pam

enough crates for all & take them with you! They are your
