starting it his appetite is better, he has gained back the weight he
lost. Now his phosphorus is high so tonight I started him on binders,
that should also help his tummy feel better, and tomorrow I should get
the cafarate
Pepcid has never helped my cats in these situations either. Watch for side effects or worsened appetite with the pepcid. Think of it like this.. I feel sick at my stomach. I drink pepto bismol to help, but instead I throw up. ugh. tBelinda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Too much pepcid als

Nina, I am so sorry to hear about Spencer. I am
praying that he will start eating again. I know when
some of my babies won't eat I will get a rotisserie
chicken from the grocery store and sometimes they will
eat that. I know it may not help with Spencer. Both
of you are in my prayers.

Hi Nina & Spencer,
I agree w/ Michelle about trying some Reglan or Pepcid & maybe some
fluids. That might be enough to make the difference. Are you on the
Feline Assisted Feeding group @ yahoogroups? They may have some
suggestions, too. I'm pulling for Spencer & will be keeping you bot
Nina, I'm so sorry your dear boy is fading. If it's time for him to go,
he'll go knowing he was deeply loved. What more could any kitty, or
anybody, ask? Give Spencer a hug from me, and take one for yourself.

Thanks Tonya, and everyone else. I did give him .5 of a Pepcid this
afternoon. This evening, a couple of hours ago, I gave him his shot of
dex and smeared his ear with the appetite stimulant. His breath is more
shallow than it has been since I began using the dex and he's oh so
tired. He's

I would guess that if it is actually lymphoma it is small-cell lymphoma,
which can grow very slowly, as opposed to large-cell lymphoma, which most of our
cats get.

Nina, he is not going to get better. If you thought he might, you should
try chemo, as that is really the only thing with a chance at giving him
long-term remission. Otherwise, he might if lucky live a few months, but
cats with lymphoma do not just go on living for years without treatment.
I wouldn't have a problem with the decision if I were sure that what was
going on with Spencer was indeed terminal. I can't shake the feeling
that he has the opportunity to get better. I don't know if that's
because of who he is, that he's determined to live every day to the

You know Spencer best, and I know you will make the right decision for him.
That being said, if Spencer was my cat, I'd take him to the vet. He'll only be poked and prodded for a few minutes. I don't think one vet visit will make all his remaining time on earth miserable. Then agai
