So my 4-5 year old cat has mct all over his body. Its a type of cancer that causes benign but very plentiful tumors tk pop up on his skin after he has an allergic reaction to something. Supposedly its rare and can either be extremely easy or extreamly difficult to cure.

U fortunately hes unlucky on top of u lucky. Not only was the mass they removed large cell. But it suddenly got extremely aggressive. Hes lost so much weight and has spots all over his body that seem painful. And the last vet visit said his prognosis is very poor. Basically we’re trying a last hurrah of treatments to try and get him back in the ok zone…

Si ce his current chemo doesnt seen to be helping any more were going to be switching to another one. Hes also on prednisone twice a day (I creased from 1 daily) and hydroxi something to help lower it antihistamine response. Im also giving him treats that help with allerges and some hemp oil for pain. We’re also trying to feed him more kitten food and snacks like fish and what not, plus we got the approval for some soft food that’s centered around oncology care, so hopefully that helps too. The big problem is hes soooo adverse tk taking meds.

My husband gives it to hi by hand and has to push it to the back of his throat or else he’ll spit it out. I use a pill popper and he absolutely hates jt(thrashes his head even when its introduce. I have to move fast and try to keep him still so he swallow.

We try crushing it uo and putting it in his soft food. He smells.it and doesnt eat it. So mixing it in his food hasn’t been working. We’ve also tried mixing fish. Fish water. Heating it up. Treats… I see theres skme addictive flori something people talk about. I just need him to eat his dang food lol… I hate to hurt him but the pills are keeping him alive… I rather him be alive to hate me than die yknow?

He hasn’t had a bath in weeks and im wondering if thsts contributing to this flare up too. Gonna talk to the vet about possible skin care and also ask about natural appetite stimulates… I just want him to be okay… and if hes not gonna be I want to make sure hes not in pain and comfy…

He jumped up alive today after we went back to just shoving his pills down his throat. And hes eaten more then one or two licks of the food we offer. I also woke up to him kneading my husband’s computer chair and then getting himself stuck on top of the library. So I hope thats a good sign.

Sigh… thanks for letting me rant… does any one else have experience with cat mct? I just feel like im failing him…
