    Since that dose is working so well for Monroe, might giving him a half Pepcid a few minutes before his dose help the reflux?

    Poor baby and you! Prayers for a successful solution.

    Thank you all! I told Monroe about all the support and he's sending his loudest (it's really loud) purr, and head bumpies.
    I will check on a Pepcid dose. It would be great if this would work.

    When Cole first started on his chemo, famotidine was one of the meds I was supposed to deliver ahead of time to ease the impact on the stomach.

    (The other was Benardyl - diphrenydramine? - as mast cells put out histamines and the d. was an antihistamine. He hasn't had to take that for ages and his buffy coat test two months ago still showed NO mast cells in the blood. )

    Unfortunately, Monroe is continuing to decline. His cough has become more frequent, and it sounds horrible. The vet now thinks that it could be caused by fluid and not by acid reflux, and she told me to increase his furosemide (fluid pill). The other possibility is bronchitis. If that's the case, it would be difficult to treat since Monroe can't have steroids.
    He is using up my nine lives, because I'm so worried about him, and, of course, we are up against the weekend.
    Please send some healing thoughts for my sad kitty!
