Went back to the EVO today....also bought no grain canned food in a variety of
flavors for her, we will see what she will eat.
Want to ask oncologist about supplements before I buy too many....

I would DEFINITELY stay with EVO. Lymphoma thrives on carbs, so you should
limit those. EVO does not have many carbs, as it is grain-free.
Some people buy Essiac tea at the health food store and syringe a little of
that every day. It is a holistic anti-cancer treatment. There is one amino
acid that is supposed to fight lymphoma as well, but I can't remember the name.
Hills or Walthams has a special lymphoma diet for dogs that is rich in that
amino acid-- you can check, and then supplement Asia with it, as there is no
commercial lymphoma diet for cats to my knowledge.
The most important thing, though, will be the chemo and steroids that you are
doing. I am so glad that you started him on that.

Asia, me and my dear friend, Sue (Aunt Sue to Asia and my dogs) went to the
veterinarian oncologist this afternoon for a consult. Ultra sound and x-ray
later, Asia has a huge mass near her heart and lungs! She has lymphoma! We
began treatment today, go back on next Friday.
Dr. Ward said I should see a different cat within 48 hrs. Anything I can
get in her to eat is fine, etc.
Ok, so now what do all of you recommend for supplementation?
I am going to get some nutrical as I know where to get that
immediately....and will order some of the "good" milk for supplementation for
her.
Not sure if I should go back to the Innova EVO or stay with Natural
Balance, your advice please.
Any other supplements recommended for lymphoma ?
Thanks for your support!
and of course she is FELV positive, 70% of the cats with lymphoma are.
Dianne and Asia
