If you are not going to do chemo, then please please get the vet to give
him dexamethasone injections, or, even better, a combined shot of 1/2 ml dex and
1/2 ml depomedrol. These are very strong steroids that shrink lymphoma and make
them feel a whole lot better. They can help cats with lymphoma live up to
several months in comfort without chemo. A number of us on this list have
seen these shots work well like this. The shots do not make them feel sick
at all, only better, and are very cheap.

I'm sad to say that Scooter will probably not make it. The vet thinks he likely has lymphoma, as x-rays show his kidneys to be enlarged and misshapen, and his white cell count dropped from normal to 2000 in less than a week. His blood, when viewed thought the microscope, has lots of lymphocites. He didn't look good yesterday. |
