Jen,
You might want to stop the pred and give dex/depo shots
instead. The depo is instead of pred, and is stronger and longer lasting.
The fact that Ewok went two weeks or so without needing another depo shot says
to me that he is not near the end yet. I would strongly suggest, if he i

Jen,
SO glad to hear Ewok is still doing well!! Simon responded
very well to the CCNU also. After that he got Adriamycin, which he did not
respond well to, and I wished I had asked the oncologist to give him more CCNU
instead. I think the oncologist was afraid that without switching the

Hi, Jen. I have been reading your posts to others and wondering how Ewok is
doing. Has he reacted, good or bad, to the CCNU? Has he needed additional dex
shots? I don't remember when you did the combo shot, but he could possibly
need another depo shot as well at some point I am hoping th

One thing I always question myself about is whether it was worth letting
Simon go through the very rough days he went through at times during those two
months in order to have the good days he had during that period. While he
was alive it definitely seemed worth it, but since then I have qu
Oh Jen,
I'm so thrilled that Michelle and Simon were able to help you and Ewok!
It's true that everything we do ripples out, we usually don't get to see
it as clearly as you and Michelle have. Such a nice Christmas present,
to be thinking of you and little Ewok enjoying your vacation together

Oh, and he reminds me of Simon so much! Simon was adventurous and curious
too, and would have found a vacation interesting and fun. Not many cats
are like that! Ewok does not happen to be an orange tabby boy, does he? I
somehow remember not. Anyway, I have to say, following Ewok and Buddha
Oh, Jen, I am so overjoyed to hear he is feeling better and that you have
him with you there and he is having such a good time!! I was really worried that
your not having emailed meant he was doing worse. It is so, so great that

I have been thinking about him. Symptoms any better? Did
the vet try the steroid shots? Any talk of using CCNU? Did the last chemo shot
(the one that starts with E, can't remember the name) do anything?
I am hoping for the best, but worried that things are bad since you have
not written.
Jen, I am certainly hoping and crossing my fingers. If he does not
improve from the elspar, you might want to ask about CCNU also (the
oncologist).

I was so saddened to hear the news regarding the tumor.

Big hugs to both of you!

Jen,
I would ask the vet to teach you how to do subcutaneous fluids
at home, if you don't already know how to do it, so you don't need to keep
taking him in. If he is in really bad shape it is true that IV fluids get into
his system faster, but longer-term it seems like sub-q fluids shoul
You can do it either way. I would do it in one shot just to stick him less,
but other than that i do not think it matters.

The oncologist gave them to Simon intramuscularly, and I gave the follow-up dex
shots subcutaneously. IM is faster than sub-q in terms of absorbtion rate.

1/2 cc Dexamethasone and 1/2 cc depomedrol. Though the norm, when
giving Depomedrol, is to give a whole cc at one time, and I have done that as

Jen,
If it is another tumor, ask for the combo dex/depo shot
to see if it will help. Combined with chemo, it helped Simon for an extra
month and made him feel really good. It also suppresses nausea and
increases appetite, besides shrinking the tumor temporarily.

Hey Jen,
I will keep Ewok in my prayers. I hope that he starts
turning around soon. You are right. Michelle has no
reason to feel badly for suggesting chemo for Ewok.
She is a wonderful source of information, and a light
