Cat Chat Feline Forum

Hi Our neighbour has lost their lovely cat, TK. He is a ginger male cat with white pads and a fluffy tail with a white tip. He is microchipped but has no collar. Last seen on Saturday 1 May in Lilac Avenue, Yew Tree Estate Walsall (WS5). Vets and microchip company informed. Please let us know if you...

Thank you so much xxx

Thank you all xxx

Dear all I just wanted to post to say that our beloved darling Pumpkin has sadly lost her extremely brave fight against lymphoma and to thank you all for your posts earlier in the Summer. She had x 4 different chemo regimes (COP, Epirubicin, DMAC and Lomustine). The only one that showed any sign of ...

Thank you xx

Thanks all.

Walesgang - did your girl Luna go off her food whilst having her chemo??

Thank you.

Thanks Crewella. Pumpkin does sadly have GI lymphoma. I have posted detail on the other thread which I think you have posted on.

Thanks for your support xx

Pumpkin does indeed sadly have GI lymphoma. She has undergone her first chemo session today at the specialist vet hospital. She is due to have x 4 weekly chemo injections and then a break of 3 weeks before having a scan. If the cancer is in remission or partial remission they will continue every 3 w...

Thank you very much both. Tomorrow is D day as aspirate results back - dreading it.

Thanks all - we are worried sick. Some more bloods back today at specialist centre - still anaemic (bit worse) and others up and down. Tomorrow is D day as aspirate results back

Hi all We are awaiting results from an ultrasound guided fine needle aspirate on our 14 year old diabetic girl, Pumpkin, in the next couple of days. The vet has advised tonight that this may be GI lymphoma. If this is confirmed (and I am praying and hoping it is not) he has advised she may be able t...

Many thanks all. Our Pumpkin has spent the weekend at the emergency vets (was indeed found to be anaemic) and has now spent the day at a specialist referral centre about 25 miles from us. They have done an ultrasound and she unfortunately has suspected GI lymphoma. We are waiting aspirate results an...

Can anyone offer advice please? Our 14 year old diabetic girl has started licking her cat litter. She has been a little quiet for the last couple of days but we had out this down to the heat as she has very thick long haired fur. We are going to make an appointment to see the vet tomorrow but any ad...

Pumpkin saw the vet last night. He has dipped her urine again and it is now ++.5 instead of +++. He has upped her insulin to 2.5 units twice daily and is going to see her again at the end of next week. She has lost 0.1 kg of weight but is otherwise OK.

Thanks for your comments folks. We are back at the vets tonight for a review. I will keep you updated.
Best wishes,
Gill

Thanks for all your advice Sarah. Pumpkin is not on Glargine (I know humans have that). She is on Caninsulin - is Glargine better? She has not had a glucose curve yet as only diagnosed last week. The vet is talking of doing one soon. He mentioned Fructosamine as I asked about HbA1c testing (the huma...

Hi all My cat, Pumpkin, who is 14 years of age, has just been diagnosed with diabetes. We are injecting her twice a day with 2 units of Caninsulin (tutored by our vet), which is quite nerve wracking. Our vet has said a special diet may help but a lot of cats will not eat this so best to stay on her ...

Many thanks everyone. I will keep you updated as to how she gets on and will post a new post re: any helpful tips for her diabetes management.
Best wishes,
Gill

Dear all Thank you for all your replies. Just to let you know that after much searching we have found a really good vet (a little way away, but Pumpkin not too bad at travelling in her carrier). He was happy to have us in the consulting room whilst the bloods were taken (although the nurse held her,...

Many thanks for all of your helpful replies and knowledge. Pumpkin is a little better now and was enthusiastically tucking into salmon at the weekend! I am struggling to find recommendation of a good vet that is near where we live, which is Walsall/Wednesbury in the West Midlands. Any advice in rega...

Dear all Could anyone offer any advice please? We took our Tortie, Pumpkin, to the vet last night as we have been concerned she is drinking more (she is fine in every other way). She has visited the vets for her boosters every year and for check-ups (never seen this vet or nurse though) and has been...
