Our 3-year-old cat Tip is showing early warning signs: eating dirt and grass, usually an easygoing, friendly, clingy lap-sitter, she’s been anti-social, hiding in a corner, depressed, low energy, usually an enthusiastic eater, now needs encouragement to eat ~ lessened appetite, some rapid respiration.
This is a repeat of last summer. Her bloodwork results then showed her to be severely anemic, low red blood cell count, very high white blood cell count. The vet diagnosed lymphoma and offered to do more expensive tests and treatments, or prednisolone as a palliative. Pre-HA!, we gave her prednisolone, which improved her appetite, and we started her on raw food and gave her freeze-dried grass-fed beef liver and organs, Life Gold, and some digestive enzymes and other supplements.
She got better. Her vitality and playfulness returned.
She became obese. Twelve pounds, when she should be about eight. I began cutting back on her food. I wasn’t sure about how much food to give her to have her safely lose weight. She has lost two pounds.
Now with returning symptoms, she is scheduled to have blood tests again this Thursday.
I have many questions:
Is there a homeopathic remedy from the basic tool kit that is a good fit for this?
Should I stop the diet until this is resolved?
What other treatments/avenues would you recommend?
Are there articles or Forum threads you could point me to that would be of help?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks for any and all help!
Best,
Anne
