Does Feline oral S.C.C respond to DepoMedrol ?
My 8 year old Cat has a large swelling under her tongue. Two weeks
ago she had a biopsy and was also given a long lasting Steroid injection,DepoMedrol. Eosinophilic Granuloma Complex 48 hrs after the jab the swelling had reduced significantly. However the biopsy results have now come in and she has been diagnosed with Feline squamous cell carcinoma. I was surprised at this, partly due to her (young) age but mostly due to the positive effect of the DepMedrol which I thought indicated Eosinophilic Granuloma Complex (she has a history of flea allergy dermatitis) . I know its highly unlikely that the Biopsy could be wrong but tomorrow I have to make decision regarding starting her on chemo. Does anyone have experience of such tumours responding to steroids? thanks. vic |
