Wishing you and Willa both kind and healing thoughts.

Shortly, after my post, I had a thought: What if Willa's symptoms are side effects of Chlorambucil?
I did some research, and I found that many people had seen the same symptoms in their cats.
I texted the vet to ask if I could dose Willa every three or four days instead of every other. She said sure.
I will try that. I guess it comes down to either Willa being miserable from abdominal issues or the drug.
Neither one is a great choice. I will watch her closely to make sure she's not suffering.
Thank you for all your well wishes.

Wishing Willa and you Heii best of luck. Hope decraesing the dosage will lessen the side effects.

Smart mom for thinking of side effects! I hope the reduced frequency of dose will help Willa.

Cole is on a different type of chemo drug, but it's every other day as well. He gets 1/2 pepcid morning and evening to help his tummy with the chemo.

Get better soon, Willa.

I'm glad to hear Willa is alert and giving headbumpies, but I hope she will perk up again, eat more and also drink enough

Most medication have side effects, but of course some are necessary. Have you got an answer about her diagnosis yet? In any case, it's good that you can decrease the dose.

Sending lots of positive and healing thoughts.

Thank you, Randi! The presumptive diagnosis is that Willa's IBD has turned into lymphoma.
The only way to get a definite answer is to get a biopsy of her intestines. She is 20 yrs now, and very frail. There is no way that I would put her under anesthesia. Maybe the meds can give her a little more quality time
Today, she's eating ok, but she started having terrible diarrhea again, so now I'm torn between giving her the Chlorambucil today or waiting one more day...

Willa had a really good day today, she's eating and no diarrhea.
She even made 2 new friends today:

Willa's health-rollercoaster is on top right now, eating and no diarrhea. Yesterday, I caught her resting comfortably (til mom woke her up for a photo op). I always thought that her little feet were sooo cute (nobody is allowed to touch them!).

Those are the cutest little feet! And even you can't touch them?

I am glad to hear she is on top of things right now. Stay well, sweet Willa.
