Re: Thoughts for Ewok--Michelle
Jen, is that picture of him from today? he does not look that bad. Yes, if he only got dex, you should keep him on pred. But I really, really think that if he only got dex you should go back tomorrow and get him a depo shot too, or ask them to give it to you to give to him sub-q. It is stronger than pred and lasts longer, and that way you do not need to bother him with pills either. The vet may say you can only give that once a month, but when they are terminal, if they seem to need it, you can give it a lot more frequently if necessary. You can give him the depo and then supplement with dex when he seems to feel bad again, and then give him another depo in a week or two. I would not be afraid at this point to give a combo dex and depo every few days if he seems really bad, either. Though I might try to space out the depo as much as possible. My thoughts are with you, Michelle

Re: Thoughts for Ewok
Wow, 40 mg/day of pred is a huge amount for a cat. How big was City Kitty? That is really good to know-- no vet I know would ever prescribe that much, but I always seem to have extra pred here from so many animals being on it, if it came down to it I would increase it myself.

RE: RE: Thoughts for Ewok--Hideyo
Here we go, Jen! That's the spirit! I know it's not easy not to think of it ... but here's something I read from Dr. Goldstein's book about cancer --- see in traditional medicine, they think of cancer is a really bad guy, being the cause of the problem of the illness and try to remove it.. but in an alternative medicine, they don't' try to remove the cancer, as the cancer is just a symptom of the problem - and can't remember the exactly what he said.. but an alternative medicine approach sort of nurtures the cancer simply as a part of her body... I know it's sort of weird.. but it's sort of like.. loving and nurturing cancer is a part of loving her -- asking the cancer to shrink... my sister constantly talks to her dog and the cancers in her body, not to give her (her dog) a hard time..try to get along well in her body.. does it make sense?- maybe not...huh? Regardless of the situation with cancer, I will be thinking of Ewok and praying that he will continue to feel better! And please think that it's very possible - if it happened to my sister's dog, I don't see why not for Ewok!!

Re: Thoughts for Ewok
Essiac tea is supposed to help, and I think it helped my dog Fern (though she actually drank it from a bowl). Switching to an all meat diet is supposed to slow the growth. I have heard that Winstrol, which is not holistic but an anabolic steroid, helps keep appetite and fights muscle wasting, but I have never used it. When things got bad with the cats (as opposed to with Fern, who would eat anything and was on more supplements than I can remember), I just used the dex/depo shots, which kept their appetite and energy up and their pain down until very close to the end. I tried herbs and stuff but found that they felt very harassed by being administered all those things. I basically do not think that, with terminal illness in cats, you can give too many steroids. I gave Simon a huge amount of steroids-- a dex shot every day for a few days at one point-- to get him feeling better. Cats tolerate steroids way better than any other animals. You would never want to load them up on steroids long-term because of side effects like possible diabetes, but unfortunately we are not talking very long-term here. I feel like if the alternatives are lots of steroids and feeling good with possible side effects down the road versus feeling terrible now and going downhill and being euthanized, I choose loading them up with steroids.

Re: Thoughts for Ewok
Oh, Jen. I am so sorry. I have been there, and it is the worst thing ever. I am assuming the stronger steroids means you just gave him a dex/depo shot for the first time? You might be surprised; it might help for a while. I am praying it does. Love and prayers and thoughts, Michelle In a message dated 1/9/2006 4:43:41 P.M.

Re: Thoughts for Ewok
Jen, Has Ewok had elspar? It has pulled many kitties from the edge? It is known on the Feline Lymphoma Caregivers website as the rescue chemo!! Have you gone to the chemo protocal page and looked over the many chemo options, and variations of standards used? Just wanted to be sure you are aware of all the information out there. Chemo Protocals http://felinelymphomacaregivers.org/docs/ChemoProtocols.html Variations of Standard Chemo Portocals http://felinelymphomacaregivers.org/docs/GulfCoastChemoProtocols.html Here are some actual case studies of kitties with the same type of cancer and the protocal/s (some had to try more than one) they used. Jean Luc http://felinelymphomacaregivers.org/jeanluc.html (large cell more agressive cancer) Drew http://felinelymphomacaregivers.org/drew.html (small cell, slower growing cancer) I wanted to give you a sample of each since the treatments are different if it is large cell or small cell. I'm sorry I haven't followed Ewok's story more closely, I'm can't remember what you have or haven't tried. Prayers for you both. -- Belinda Happiness is being owned by cats ...
