Kitty vitamins

[smokey the elder]

I have a foster, Pink Nose, who's going through chemotherapy to fight cancer that may have spread to lymph nodes near his ear. He has gotten through the first treatment OK. I was wondering if there were anyone out there with a similar experience. Did you feed your cat extra vitamins, supplements, etc.? I know in humans chemo can cause anemia, loss of appetite, and suppress the immune system.

I'll also ask the oncologist, of course. Sometimes there are other alternatives.

Thanks!

I'd go with whatever the oncologist says. As a cancer survivor myself, I know that some vitamins can interfere with the effectiveness of the chemo in humans. It's probably the same for kitties. Go with what the pros say. Prayers going out that the treatments work.
