Re: [Felvtalk] Fleas and Ticks
PS. The drugs you mentioned are used when dealing with small cell cancer, what type did they say he has? *Small cell* is slower growing but takes longer to get into remission, *large cell* is much more aggressive and spreads very quickly and will usually go into remission faster but it must be treated aggressively with multiple chemo drugs. -- Belinda happiness is being owned by cats ... http://bemikitties.com http://BelindaSauro.com ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org

Re: [Felvtalk] Fleas and Ticks
Hello All, I'm new to this post and I have a question. My 13 year old kitty Ramses has recently been diagnosed with Chronic lymphatic leukemia. The vet has recommended the following drugs: Prednisolone and/or Chlorambucil. What is known about the effectiveness and side effects of using these two drugs to treat the above mentioned leukemia? We are struggling with treating him at all at this time because aside from some hair and weight loss, he is not showing any symptoms. I'm afraid that these could happen at any time but presently he seems to be fine. Thanks for any feedback you can provide.

Re: [Felvtalk] Fleas and Ticks
Not sure if there is a generic, but you can get Drontal in the cat size pill for $2.00 a pill at http://petsupplyexpress.com and that's as cheap as I have seen anywhere.

I, too, live in SC, and have found that Revolution works wonders on my cats for keeping things under control... Unfortunately it doesn't kill tapeworms, but it does kill roundworms and hookworms.
