Happy New Year to all!
I have a 10 y.o. female cat named Shadow. She was diagnosed with Fibrosarcoma caused by the Feline Leukemia Vaccine in August 2020. As a result, we decided to amputate her leg and now we have a tripawd kitty (she's even cuter now than she was before!) =) Within 4 months from the hind left leg removal, the tumor came back more aggressive and with a new name, "Soft Tissue Sarcoma Stage II". Our vet, a community hospital with conventional care has given me the suggestion to "keep Shadow comfortable" and left it up to us to determine if we wanted to see an oncologist. I called oncology, but the soonest available wasn't until 2/3/2021 (I called the beginning of December). At first, this wasn't the best news after feeling a sense of urgency to get specialty medical advice. But now I understand, the silver lining was joining Holistic Actions! (Thank you Dr. Jeff and team for creating this informative & resourceful space) No matter the outcome, we have been able to give Shadow her best chance with the information shared by the team and other pet parents. We continue on this journey of trying to bring vitality and balance with some days being better than others and it isn't always easy as time continues to pass. However, Shadow is a fighter and she has the spirit of a warrior which makes this journey so much more healing for us. WE are in love with Reiki and it has been such a great help as we navigate what Shadow may be responding to the best. Currently, she is on Life Support Supplement, Biopreparation f3+ (super food), CBD Oil and flower essence. Our most recent concern has been Shadow's lack of interest in her current diet. Since the leg removal in August, she has been eating Ziwi Peak Chicken Recipe. Prior to falling ill, she LOVED her food but it does not seem to be doing the trick. After speaking with Dr. Jeff, our current goal is to increase her cellular energy. We will be adding fresh food to her diet and have purchased a snuffle mat to aid her sniffing for heart treats. I have been interested in exploring Raw Goat's Milk, thoughts?
I should add, Shadow received a biopsy of the mass growing at the site of her amputation. As a result, she has had this open wound site that seems to be very stubborn and difficult to treat. I have been putting Colloidal Silver which has helped minimally. The site excretes pus and does have a foul odor (cancer SUCKS!). I understand that the site has cancerous cells that are making it difficult for healing, but if anyone has additional suggestions for wound care, I am open to receiving the information.
Essential Oils are of daily use in our home (diffused). Mostly, Frankincense Frereana to help strengthen her immune system and more recently ginger (using with caution). We have also ordered an air purifier to assist with environmental factors that may be hindering vitality.
I look forward to any feedback! Many blessings for all readers as we have officially entered 2021!
