One of our cats was diagnosed with lymphoma this week. She's 12, we've had her since she was 11 months old with her sister. They were rescue cats and often described as semi feral, very timid, scared of their own shadow.
For us, over time they've become cuddly lap cats, but they won't go near other people- some friends have never seen them! So she hates the vets, the box, the other people, being handled etc. Giving flea and worm treatment is a mission.
For that reason and the extent of the lymphoma we have decided not to treat in terms of chemotherapy. She had radiotherapy for thyroid a few years back k and it took her ages to recover from the stress of being away. Chemo wouldn't save her, but give time. But stress her out.
She is vomiting a lot, her bowel wall is very thick according to scan she had. She's very thin, but still seems to have an appetite. The vomiting is all the time, along with retching and burping all the time. And the yowling that accompanies it.
I am going to contact vet for a chat this week, but today she seems to have deteriorated. She's very 'down', and we are wondering how we know if she's in pain or conformable with all the vomiting. The plan was to let her go as long as she comfortable.
Does anyone have any experience of this?
