November is also National Pet Cancer Awareness Month. Lymphoma is one type that is close to my heart. Lymphoma in dogs: https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx... Lymphoma in cats: https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx

This is Pharynx, my 15 year old boy. I sometimes have to remind myself that his bio physiological mechanics are equivalent to an almost 80 year old human. He’s a semi-retired clinic and therapy cat. About three months ago, his palliative human noticed his love for water was more than usual, his appetite was ravenous, his laziness exceeded his predecessors, he barely made his jumps on the bed and he began vomiting incessantly. It was easy for us to say, he’s just getting old... or holy, hairballs, Garfield. He came home one weekend for an exam and some testing, low and behold, he wasn’t just getting old, he was Diabetic and arthritic. With a short course of insulin, a strict diet change and some joint supplements, Pharynx’ diabetes is in remission, his vomiting has resolved, his thirst is back to normal, his energy and agility have improved and I’m sure we’ve added years back to his life. He will again make a great companion for palliative humans, so, get off the bed and get back to work Garfield aka Frank aka Pharynx. Tell us your senior pet tales See more
