Today has not proven to be a good day. Weasel hasn't touched his food at all. He had cooked chicken bits, Tollden Farms raw food mixed in with his favorite Halo food. To inspire him, I melted a small amount of butter and drizzled it on the top. He still wouldn't eat. I prepared another plate of food with just the Halo and poured the dry Urinary SO on top which he eats like candy. He had maybe two mouth fulls of that. It's really really hard to see a cat suffer. He's obviously in pain, although hiding it well as cats do.
He vomited today and although there were two piles, the one had a hard looking fur ball so my 'positive thinking side' believed that to be the instigator and not the cancer.
Last night I made a batch of Essiac Tea and today was able to pour it into Mason jars so the contents are nicely sealed which should help it last slightly longer than the 2 weeks they state. This afternoon I gave Weasel a teaspoon of the concentrated tea, mixed in with Tuna and he ate it up.
In an hour or so I'll give him the Life Gold and Amino B-Plex in a small tuna mix which seems to be the only thing he'll eat at this point.
This is a blog that documents the alternative and holistic treatment regime provided to a cat suffering from pancreatic cancer. Our kitty was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer but managed to remain strong and live a surprisingly healthy life for an additional two years. The information on this blog is intended to provide people not only with hope and affordable treatment ideas, but insight as well into how to manage this serious ailment.
More about my cat
My cat's name is Gardener, this is the name we adopted him with, but as we learned more about his funny little personality, he quickly adopted the name 'Weasel' as a representation for his crafty, curious and mischievous demeanor. Weasel made it to 13 years old. As of Feb. 22nd, 2013, his world and ours would change drastically as we learned the news of his pancreatic cancer.
My Inspiration
Since Feb. 22nd, 2013, I've been frantically trying to find answers to this terminal illness, trying to deliver the best solution I can, always hoping for a positive turn. I've found through discussions with vets and online research that the information out there is frustratingly vague. I've started this blog to document our progress on this in the hopes that it helps others.
