Bengal cat, possible lymphosarcoma
Panic city!
My vet saw my 11-1/2 year old Bengal on Saturday...she's not digesting her food and has lost a lot of weight. He's checking her thyroid but saw enough abnormality in her bowel in an ultrasound that he is probably going to recommend an endoscopy. He suspects lymphosarcoma because of the ultrasound and because her breed is apparently genetically susceptible to it. He is out of reach now until a week from today. My panic went out of control after his words really sank in; now I'm somewhat saner. Nothing's proven yet! And with this week ahead of me I'll be able to come to a non-panic decision about an endoscopy, after talking with him further and seeing how she is the rest of the week. I added an herbal supplement to her food yesterday, one that I've been taking that's all about adding digestible nutrients and that has made a big difference in my own health. I first confirmed that it's safe for cats!! She seemed better almost immediately, and still so today, so I'll keep this up through the week. My questions for anyone out the Has anyone dealt with "lymphosarcoma" in your cat, Bengal or otherwise? Did you go the chemo route or natural therapies? Which natural therapies and what was the outcome? Do you know of other natural remedies that would help her through this, or at least help with comfort and additional digestion? For myself I'd go to papaya and ginger to comfort bowel and aid digestion - does anyone know if both of those are safe for cats? Thanks |
