Oh, I didn't even think of that, I have used it for my other cats for that very thing and forgot all about it THANKS :) I did the same thing with Miller, put him through horrible chemo, made his last few weeks here miserable and within three weeks of the first chemo treatment, he was gone :( I vowed then that I would never do that again. That is why I was asking what others do to make their furbabies comfortable in the end. Miller was so miserable and I just made it worse and I will never forgive myself for that :( Date: Fri, 5 Oct 2012 15:17:28 -0700 From: moonsiste...@yahoo.com To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: [Felvtalk] Asking For Advice Again
Certain antihistamines that are given to cats are also an appetite stimulant. Chlorpheneramine is one. I think it's a little yellow pill if I remember correctly. It's better than giving cortisone which also increases appetite but I believe would be contraindicated for a cat who has a malignant tumor. You need to ask your vet about this. It has no harmful side effects as far as I can remember. I gave it to a cat who had terminal salivary gland cancer and it kept her eating right up until the end, that and anti- nausea drugs because she had had a chemo pill every week for several months to stop the growth of the tumor. I have since decided that that treatment, the chemo pill was a waste of $2000. Another cat who had a tumor in a different location lived just about as long as Baby Face, without getting chemo. Chemo is also very hard on other organs, causing diarrhea, fur loss and exhaustion. Spay and Neuter your cats and dogs and your weird relatives and nasty neighbors too! _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
