Should I use Lomustine on my cat?

Wed, Mar 17th 2010, 04:29 GMT

Hampton had a growth removed from the top of her head. It turned out to be high grade lymphoma. The oncologist has suggested putting her on 5 mg prednisone daily and then a round of 10 mg of lomustine every 4 weeks with prior blood work before each dose. I am worried about negative side effects since at this time she has no signs of illness, no weight loss etc. I have felt a lump in her neck. I am going to the vet to discuss surgical removal of it. I am giving her es clean from petwellbeing.com. I really don't know what to do.

My boys are fixed and both between one and two years old. They are spoiled and I dont know how much stress it would put on them to bring a new dog in the house. I want to make it as easy as possible for them. I dont want them to think the dog would be taking over.

Does my cat have hyperthyroidsm?

Tue, Mar 16th 2010, 09:54 GMT

Feyo is a 14 year old spayed female who has starting urinating on the bathroom mat (litter box is not in the bathroom) and she howls loudly, usually at night. Last cat we had that did inappropriate elimination was trying to let us know something was wrong and she had an oral tumor that went to the brain. This cat does not have that problem.

Why am I biting my brother...

Tue, Mar 16th 2010, 03:38 GMT

Phoebe and Joey are still getting to know each other - and they have their good days and their no so good days - but lately - mommy has noticed that Phoebe lunges at Joey and is trying to bite his neck! I can't tell if she is playing or if she is trying to hurt him - he doesn't hiss - he just swats her and runs away. It seems to be when mommy first gets up in the morning or come home after being out for the day - I think it's jealousy. I make a loud noise and say NO - she stops and then is fine. I have noticed that she seems a little agitated lately � noise sensitive. We have had some bad storms and she seems skittish � ears are partly back when she is listening to all the noises. I think this is part of the adjustment period � getting used to how things sound in her new home � so I am not too concerned with that. Why is she trying to bite him?

Sister's cat went to the vet today...

Tue, Mar 16th 2010, 03:26 GMT

And apparently her kidneys are enlarged. The vet is doing more tests to see if it's kidney disease, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, etc. Does anyone have any information that may be helpful? We lost a cat 13 years ago to renal failure and it was very quick - he was diagnosed and lost within a week - one of his kidneys completely disintegrated - no symptoms. We are very concerned - any advice - experience? She is 8 years old and has a history of convulsions and is on anti-convulsants for most of her life. Our concern is that this is acute � she had an exam 6 months ago with no appreciation of any kidney disorder.

How do I groom my tabby if she is a bit on the feisty side?

Mon, Mar 15th 2010, 18:46 GMT

My cat used to act quite wild when she was young. She has calmed down tremendously, but she is still quite skittish if she does not feel comfortable. She's 5 yrs old and has never been brushed because she always did a great job herself before now. How do I get her to let me brush to matts out of her hair?

I have a 7 mo. old kitten and I believe that he thinks that he's a dog, He acts just like a puppy. Is this common? Is it Normal behavior? Will he grow out of it and start acting like a cat?

Mon, Mar 15th 2010, 15:50 GMT

He will play fetch, he will chase a ball, he carries things around in his mouth, he will chew on just about anything and he likes to play in his water bowl

Lately my cat has been turning her nose up at the wet canned cat food I've been feeding her.

Mon, Mar 15th 2010, 14:54 GMT

I give her 2 cans a day. once in the morning and once in the evening. She generally eats the 1st can since she's hungry but then turns her nose up at the 2nd can and then spends the rest of the evening yelling at me. I've been feeding her the frisky brand. I'm getting tired of tossing cat food in the garbage cause of her not eating it the night before.
