Feline Bladder CA: Dr Phil Rogers

[Guest guest]

Dear Phil,

 

My cat Tiger was dx June 29th, 2004 with Bladder Cancer. It was fairly

advanced but still localized in the base of the bladder and descending to the

neck @ that time. The vet @ the hosp Rx Piroxicam for the inflammation with

secondary benefits of slowing down the tumor growths. She was also Rx Tapazole

for a newly dx hyperthyroidism. She is taking an antibiotic periodically for

hematuria that seems to help. Her kidney function at the time of dx was still

fairly good. Is there any supportive or curative herbal preparation that you

have found successful or helpful in treating this condition. I understand the

bladder CA is very uncommon in felines and quite an aggressive form of CA.

Tiger is 17 yo and was in very good health, looking like a cat of 6 yrs before

this. Any suggestions for treatment you have found to be helpful in your

practice or in the practice of your colleagues would be most appreciated.

 

Sincerely,

 

Carole A Berberich L. Ac
