Fibrosarcoma in cats
Posted: Sat May 26, 2007 3:21 am
Since December, I've been treating a sweet 7 y/o male cat who developed fibrosarcoma in the right rear leg following vaccination. Not uncommon in cats. These tumors tend to be aggressive and recurrent after surgery, but there's very little out there on how to treat them.
I've had him on Silica # Carcinosin, following Dr. Ramakrishnan's protocol. Per the animal communicator, he "feels like a new cat," and he's definitely with the regimen, which is one way of gauging if the remedy is working. Except that we recently discovered a pea-sized nodule not at the site of the old tumor, which was surgically removed, but near enough. It hasn't been biopsied, so we don't know for sure that it's a fibrosarcoma. The owner reports this nodule is softer than the previous one, and the cat does not like it to be touched (he didn't care about the original tumor).
The sensitivity to touch suggests it may be something other than fibrosarcoma; still, I'd like to be prepared in case there has been a recurrence. Anyone out there have any success in treating these things?
Yet another injury from vaccination that's rarely talked about, although Dr. Michael Fox's recent column included a letter from an irate reader who wondered why pet owners weren't forewarned about these. Proper vaccination protocol for cats evidently requires making the injection as low down on the leg as possible, so that they can amputate as little as possible if and when a fibrosarcoma develops! Arrgghhh!!!
Peace,
