    Anal lesion in senior cat

    He doesn't seem in pain but has been getting up more often to drink water (every half hour or so) - then lies down peacefully. I thought I might doze him before I go to bed but do I need to keep him away from drinking water 20 minutes before and after the dose? Or just leave him alone, let him...

    Anal lesion in senior cat

    Thank you! I'm grateful to have the Ars on hand, if needed, and will keep helping him purr. That's interesting that purring is similar to ujjayi and activates the rest and restore reflex.

    Anal lesion in senior cat

    Hi Dr. Jeff, I spoke with Gail Pope which was super helpful. SO, after all this I think sweet Ollie is dying. The very good news is that he is so calm and peaceful and I see no evidence of discomfort or pain. He refused food all day, but drank water twice and still purrs when I pat him -...

    Anal lesion in senior cat

    I gave him the Ars 30 last night at 6:30pm. I dosed him lying down and a few minutes later he sat up. Continued to refuse any food on my hand. At 7pm he walked to a far corner of the room and lay down on the bare floor, staring off into space intently. At 7:30 he returned to his bed in front of...

    Anal lesion in senior cat

    I emailed you early this morning. Early this morning Ollie was alert & purring louder than yesterday; used his liter box (pee only). Initially he refused water and food on my finger. Later he walked to his water bowl and drank then sat looking out the window, before lying back down. At 8am he...

    Thank you for this post Dr. Jeff! I'll reach out to Gail Pope. I emailed you this following question, as well. I was only able to find 30c Arsenicum Album. I understand how to mix the solution and give the dose but what are the specifics of when and how many times to dose compared with the 6c...

    Anal lesion in senior cat

    It feels like Ollie may be facing end-of-life. Not sure if you saw the x-ray sent from Blue Hill vet, but his other NY vet agreed it's a lung tumor and given Ollie's age and history, "Im not sure how much travel and intervention you want to put him through?". I dosed him again (Phos Q2)...

    Thanks for your perspective. Yeah, that makes sense to me. I'm keeping him home today. Even I feel relief about that : )

    Anal lesion in senior cat

    I wonder if it's worth putting Ollie through the stress to take him back to the vet tomorrow morning for blood work and another look in his mouth. They would put him under anesthesia if he won't let them take a good look - which I think is quite possible.

    Anal lesion in senior cat

    I just spoke with the vet technician (vet's away until tomorrow) and it turns out the vet did check Ollie's mouth on 7/1. He found decay on one tooth on the lower left but felt it wasn't serious enough to cause significant symptoms of heaving episodes, constipation, hiding. Watching Ollie eat a...

    Anal lesion in senior cat

    Dental dis-ease makes sense and no, the vet didn't look at his teeth. I don't think Ollie's had another x-ray, (just an ultrasound in 2018 which identified Lympohoma). I'd like to have the vet send you records and the xray. What's the best email/fax for this? Ollie's been drinking water and...

    Anal lesion in senior cat

    Ollie's anal sac rupture healed well, but he's been eating less and sleeping more since 7/1 and there's a crunching sound when he eats - like he's chewing bones, despite dosing Phos. Q2 on 7/1 & this morning, 7/4. I took him to a Vet on 7/1 after he hadn't pooped for over a week, was having...

    Anal lesion in senior cat

    Thank you for that context - that you've never seen a systemic/serious infection. That's exactly what had me worrried. I'll schedule a vet visit and I am hopeful if will resolve beforehand. I'm still learning to trust the process! So grateful for your support !

    Anal lesion in senior cat

    Dr Jeff, I dosed Ollie this this morning and about an hour later he ate a little food and but has been low energy and sleeping since (but moving from favorite spot to favorite spot, following where the sun is shining). He just woke up, took a sip of water, and went back to sleep on his chair...

    Anal lesion in senior cat

    Thanks Dr. Jeff. The campfire metaphor is super helpful! You've calmed me down a bit, too. I was frantic yesterday, thinking I needed to take Ollie to the Maine Coast Vet Hospital in Blue Hill first thing this morning (which would completely stress him out). I'll take a breath now, re dose, then...

    Feline small cell lymphoma

    Hello community, My 12+ yr old cat, Oliver, is diagnosed with small cell lymphoma and the oncology vet is recommending starting him on Leukeran (Chlorambucil) and the steroid Prednisolone. She recommends these be continued long-term. Anyone have experience with this or suggestions? I've just...
