took Natasha to vet this morning
Natasha was diagnosed with lymphoma a couple years ago. She did fine on
Predizone until she started loosing weight again so she was started on Leukeran a little more than a year ago. When I took her last May her weight had gotten up to 6 1/2 pounds. We had a real hot spell this summer and she wasn't eating much. Plus we had a rough summer because my husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer in June and had his prostate removed in July so with our being scared pre-surgery and dealing with the healing post-surgery, plus the iffy pathology report (one of the lymph nodes removed was infected so we don't know if all his cancer was removed) things were pretty tough for us this summer. He did have a 0.00 post-op PSA reading, however - that was encouraging. I think Natasha picked up on this because she was sleeping in our bed with us the week before his surgery and purring, and she normally likes to lay on the living room couch downstairs at night. When I took her in today, she had lost 3/4 of a pound. The vet gave me a can of a high-fat A/D cat food to try to put some weight back on. I mentioned that Natasha didn't really like canned food so we are going to see if she'll eat this. I feed her the Friskeys Special Dinners but she will only lick the juice from them and maybe eat 2 chunks. The vet also examined her and said that her lymph nodes didn't feel big which was a good sign. Her intestines felt a little thick. I will hear the results of her blood tests Monday.

I should add that I also feed her Meal Mix dry which she grazes on
throughout the day.
