Behavior under megestrol/Ovaban
My cat has been taking megestrol acetate (Ovaban) for about
a month - palliative treatment for terminal cancer. The oncologist said it would help appetite and "make him feel good". Appetite is very good but behavior is weird and I'm having a very difficult time judging whether it is the result of the drug or progression of the cancer (and the inevitable decision of when to do euthanasia). The oncologist has bailed out - they may be trained to do this after a terminal Dx, I have seen it before with another specialist. The regular vet doesn't know about the drug ... gave me a copy of a description from some vet reference book, which includes "personality changes" under adverse effects but without any details. Has anybody here had a cat on Ovaban? What sort of behavior changes did you notice? Thanks, Roby |
