Hi Jean,
I am so sorry that the sonogram/biopsy showed cancer.
I was hoping it was something more curable. I am
sorry that you got this type of news. It's never
easy. Do they think Wallace is a candidate for one of
the types of feeding tubes? I think Belinda is the
one who has had to have a feeding tube for Fred for so
long (he doesn't have it currently, but she always
leaves it as an option if he starts eating). That
might be your easiest bet to help him get sustenance
and fight the cancer, if that's the route you guys are
going. Prayers going out for peace and comfort for
both you and Wallace, and correct info. so that you
are able to make an informed decision as to where to
go from here. In the meantime, there are all sorts of
things you can use to entice kitty: kitty milk,
yogurt, deli meat, liver & liver shake, cooked
chicken, chicken broth, baby food (without garlic or
onion), any sort of kitty wet food, tuna. Others here
should have more suggestions. There are also the
supplements your vet can prescribe to help stimulate
the appetite like cyproheptadine, etc. Make sure you
check with the vet before feeding any of the stuff
suggested in case it is counterproductive to stomach
cancer. Please keep us posted on Wallace. Don't
worry about the OT. As far as I'm concerned, Wallace
needs help. That's never OT here.
:)
