I have given him a couple of doses of Reglan. I could try using it more and see if it makes any difference in his symptoms. I haven't given him Pepcid. What's Periactin? I'll go Google it. I guess in the back of my mind I was hoping the vets would examine him and exclaim, "Hey! This cat d

Nina, he is not going to get better. If you thought he might, you should try chemo, as that is really the only thing with a chance at giving him long-term remission.  Otherwise, he might if lucky live a few months, but cats with lymphoma do not just go on living for years without treatment.

I would at least up his dex to what it was at before you cut it eod.  I might even up it more than that. Have you tried periactin with him? Or reglan or pepcid for nausea? I would fool around with all of these things and try to get his symptoms under control.   The only thing a vet can do for

Hi Guys, I can't make up my mind about Spencer. He's been on the dex shots since 9/7. I started to half his dose eod on Sat. It doesn't seemed to have had any negative effect. If it wasn't for the fact that he's all but stopped eating, I would think he was on his
