Kitty 911 help/advice

[Kris & Teasel]

I'm so sorry you had such bad news. I really hope some meds will make her more comfortable.

I'm so sorry. I can't imagine the pain you must be feeling. Hoping along with others that she can be made comfortable and allow you more head butts, chin scritches, and big big hugs

A If you guys weren’t here I think I’d still be an awkwardly crying grown man.

You mate , gets a squishy hug from me across the miles for all that is happening to you and your pusscat.
It's OK. It's a grandma style hug.

I didn't read the whole thread. If it is Small Cell Lymphoma (SCL), then it is treatable. Even if you suspect that, the treatment is fairly inexpensive.

Summary:
- Leo stopped eating mid 2017
- SCL was diagnosed
- Daily prednisolone tablet resolved eating issues and reduced intestine inflammation
- Compounded liquid chemo (Leukeran) is given every 2nd day just before food

Net cost for treatment:
$1/day for the prednisolone tablets from the vet
$25/month for the chemo, which gets shipped to me from Houston

Cats with SCL can live a long time after they get treatment (3 months to 4 years). The treatment basically lasts the rest of their lives. I hope this is helpful.
