How can you tell an animal will respond to chemo? Some may- while some won’t - animals aren’t people))

purrs at Silver you know it

Declawing seems like something a pet owner does because they have expensive furniture and don't want to deal with the cat.))

I agree - if an animal is suffering don’t try chemo- euthanizing would end the suffering not prolonging it))

I mean, if chemo will extend the animal's life by putting the cancer in remission, I'm in favor of it. It's a gamble that it will shorten rather than prolong the suffering, but it is with humans as well.

Love you too even though we are opposites you train dogs I train cats lol

 

[Pitya Ivyr]

Yes- I’ll agree with that @Chase and @Jacqueline Hyde . But suffering isn’t always cancer. ))

I mean, I get why it's appealing. My cat scratched my skin up something awful when I was younger. I still have one scar from her! But as @Pitya Ivyr said, it's essentially amputating the cat's digits, and screws up their physical perceptions as well. It's not fair to the cat. If it's rambunctious enough that the scratches (whether on humans or on furniture) are an issue, it needs better training and/or a scratching post.

Right, but chemo is for cancer? That was a response to you comment about chemo prolonging suffering.

 

[Jacqueline Hyde]

If an animal's suffering can be treated through whatever treatment, it should be.
