Fibrosarcoma in my cat

by Larry
(East Windsor NJ)

My cat Chloe is being treated by Dr. McCann at Princeton Animal Hospital (NJ) and Dr. Nelson, Ewing NJ, for a Fibrosarcoma. They surgically removed the tumor and one toe, but the tumor has returned 3 months later.

Amputation of the leg seems to be the consensus on how to treat her now. I would LOVE to avoid amputation. Would you review this product: Amazon Salve for Cats, Dogs & Horses (102g) Formerly sold as Cansema sold at Alpha Omega Labs. Here is the link: http://www.herbhealers.com/store/cansemar-salve-for-cats-dogs-and-horses-102-g.html Is there anyway I can avoid amputation without her suffering unnecessarily? She is a young 13.

Thanks,

Larry



Hi, Larry,

Your question comes to me at an appropriate time - I made a house call just a few days ago to see a cat that had fibrosarcoma several years ago. My visit this time was just for her annual examination.

The cat was happy, healthy, cancer free and running around on her 3 legs without a worry or pain. I am certain she would not be alive if she had not had her leg amputated when she had fibrosarcoma.

Fibrosarcoma is very aggressive, very fast-growing, and deadly. In my opinion, your cat's leg should have been amputated when the first tumor appeared. That is how horrible fibrosarcoma is in cats.

I cannot review the product you mention because I am not familiar with it. However, I strongly believe there is no cure for your cat other than amputation. I strongly recommend amputation if you want to save your kitty's life.

Best wishes,
Dr. Neely
