I am seeing a 10 year old DSH that has been diagnosed (by another DVM) with lymphoma. The original complaint was a mass on the metatarsus, aspirate suggested that the mass and popliteal LN cotaintained round cell neoplasia. The other DVM removed the leg. Tissues sent to the pathologist revealed lymphoma in the mass and popliteal LN. The cat is now receiving Modified Wisconsin Protocol (just received second treatment) and is on prednisone. The cat is coming to me for a "second opinion"/ nutritional and possible herbal support. The cat has a strong but compressable pulse, with a dry, slightly red tongue. I am considering (and the owner is very keen on trying) herbal treatment: Hoxsey like Formula, Si Mao San, and Xiao Chai Hu Tang. I am not sure how to go about this along with the chemotherapy. I am going to consult with the onconlogist too to see if he is willing to cooperate. How will the herbs effect the chemotherapy?
Thank you! Leslie
