Re: Asia - new/additional diagnosis
I personally think the Innova Evo is a really good food, and have never even heard of Natural Balance. But you're right, at this point, the important thing is just to get anything into her, so I'd feed her which-ever she likes the best! I'm SO glad you got that second opinion from a better vet! Sounds like you are on the right track, and that you have a good vet to work with now.

Re: Asia - new/additional diagnosis
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. Michelle In a message dated 11/24/2006 9:16:52 P.M.

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 immediatelyand 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
Re: Asia - new/additional diagnosis
Went back to the EVO todayalso 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 Dianne - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Saturday, November 25, 2006 8:47 AM Subject: Re: Asia - new/additional diagnosis I would DEFINITELY stay with EVO.
