Dear HA Team
Quando, my 7-11 year old shelter cat has lost weight within the last two to three months and his coat looked less shiny to me. He seemed to scratch himself more. Occasionally, he had a runny eye. As he spends most time outdoors, examination of stool was difficult but if indoors he often defecated next to the litter box and had diarrhea at least once with little blood in it. Thats when I decided to take him to the animal hospital to have a check up done on him. Already a month ago, I went to the local Vet and told him about the symptoms. He only gave him flea and parasite medication, cut his claws?! and squeezed his anal sacs. I had a feeling that this examination was not sufficient as he didnt take blood samples or seemd worried about his weight loss.
At the animal hospital they ran some tests. His weight was at 4.7 kg. Blood tests revealed that his value for the pancreas was highly increased. Ultrasound showed that his pancreas was massively changed. His liver had knots, too. Unfortunately, they suspect pancreatic and liver cancer. However, they dont exclude a chronic inflamation yet. As a next step, they want to puncture the inner organs to have more data on 3rd of December 2019. Quando lives at my parents place in the countryside, unfortunately, he as been vaccinated over the course of the last years - every year! The local Vet sent us a reminder every year to reapply the vaccines.
About BEAM:
Behaviour: is so far not much changed. He has always been a pretty nervous cat who spends most of his time outdoors. He returns home several times a day for feeding. He is an active hunter and shows his prey. He wakes up at 5 or 6 am, and wakes us up to open the door for him. He has an intense urge to be outside. During the day he seems quite busy, sometimes sticks around the house but then wanders off. In the evening he likes cuddles and is much calmer, he often licks my hands and gives head bangs and sits right on my chest and purrs. He sleeps in my bed. If he cant go outside for some reason he nervously walks up and down and meows. He reacts scared to loud noises and doesnt like noises when he is eating. After the hospital visit he hid under the bed the next day. When he sees the transportation cage he immediately hides under the bed. He is stressed when transported often opening his mouth and panting. If he isnt in the house and I call him, 50 % of the times he comes home, greeting me with meowing and head bangs.
Energy: he is energetic, almost too nervous, especially when he cant go outside. His walk is quick and not soft or easy like other cats'. he hunts and runs around in the garden.
Appetite: He eats regularly but hastily. I have the impression that he often just licks the jelly or the sauce of the food. He eats his prey, birds and mice. So far he got canned and dry food. I tried to introduce organic canned food before hand but wasnt accepted too well. Also I dont live at my parents place anymore and have little control whats going on. However, I visit them every week and also sleep there.
Mood: Quando is always friendly, he never bites or hisses. When sleeping next to me he purrs, stretches out and is generally relaxed. In the mornings he is active and wakes us up with meows or gently with his paw. He doesnt like loud noises and is easily scared. He is a shelter cat and we dont have information about his past. Generally, he is not aggressive with our two other cats, but was in fights in the past with other cats and needed medical attention (bites, minor injuries).
I doubt the usefullness of this fine needle aspiration he is scheduled to get in 10 days. Of course we can always cancel the appointment. Because if we find out its really cancer, I tend to apply a holistic therapy and not chemo. So I might as well not do it at all. I watched this video to get some background information
What I have done so far:
I only give him purified water (tripple reverse osmosis) and bought fresh organic meat (poultry, beef) which he accepts well. Also i bought canned organic meat and did some research for fresh meat deliveris for cat food. I argue a lot with my parents as they seem to have troubles to change his diet or change their mindset. Dont get me wrong, they love their cats but still trust the traditional vets more or dont believe that a change of diet will counterfight cancer. Also they think they food the have been feeding is of good quality (sheba, purina, winston). This is frustrating. I sleep at my parents place now every day to make sure he gets fresh food in the morning and in the evening. I hope with more support of your team my parents will see how important it is to feed fresh food and apply other holistic therapeutic measures.
I would be very grateful for advice on what therapy I should do, natural remedies, curcuma, anti oxidants, vitamins, nutrition...basically everything that can make him healthy again or help him live the best life possible. I wouldnt know where to ask for help elsewhere. I am also very interested in having a virtual consulation with your team and work with homeopaths no matter the costs.
I read the fundamentals and it was an eye opener. I am endlessly thankful for your advice, support and service. Below are some old photos, his lab results of the blood test and the vaccines of the past years.
