Good morning. I am looking for some personal experiences and guidance to save a fur baby.
In 2023 we had a stray cat that found our doggie door and she hasn't left since. While we are not "cat people" in the slightest, she has slowly made herself part of the family. We know absolutely nothing about her, her age, etc and it all is only a guess.
Dropped her off at the vet this morning to have what I thought was an abscess in her mouth examined. Just got the call that it's a tumor and has likely spread to the other side as it looks like another tumor is forming. The vet is worried about removal due to its location next to the ducts and blood vessels and the possibility of bleeding out. She said we could try antibiotics to attempt to reduce some size which could give her better access to debulk it. I'm going to ask her about Fenben when I pick her up but I would absolutely love to hear some personal stories on using fenben on animals to put cancer into remissiont.
Thank you advance for any guidance!!!
It can only help. Since, the evidence highly suggests parasites are the cause of most, if not all, cancer. Obviously a stray cat will be heavily infested. At best, you'd be allowing the cat's body to heal itself without parasites stealing nutrients and causing inflammation.
Parasite medication typically helps in one of two ways. For example, Fenben stays in the intestines and wipes out parasites there. Then you have Ivermectin which penetrates beyond the intestines and wipes out parasites throughout the body. Within the class of, systematic parasite meds, you also have some that cross the blood brain barrier and kills parasites in the brain.
I would start with Fenben, then do Ivermectin.
Thank you for your suggestions! I greatly appreciate it!!!
I gave my cat FenBen 3 days a week from the time he was diagnosed with cancer in his tummy. We started a chemo treatment but he was not the same animal on that.
Over a year he went from 11ish pounds to 9.2. Track your cats weight, 9ish pounds is like their 1 year old weight.
He always had a blood issue, in the end he stopped eating. He actually told me it was time. Spent a lot of money on more tests after that. I did get to spend a couple more days with him; but I should have listened to him.
Poor little baby. It's so hard losing these little fur babies. I'm sorry you had to experirence that.
I feel very unreow'ed.
Also. Tell your cat what is going on and why. They will understand.
Love this idea!
Very Important. I tell my animals when we leave where we are going. They all understand. If I say Costco, they know we’ll be gone for a long time. Just because they can’t speak english doesn’t mean they don’t understand it. They talk in their way.
I just went through it with my 11-1/2 year old female grey tabby. She was my little girl and I loved her dearly. Last August we had a open sore on her head the size of a dime removed and were told she had clear margins. We were not told at the time but it was Mast cell but found this out a few weeks ago. December 1st she started puking. On and off for a month while we tried switching foods thinking maybe something was bad. February 1st brought her into local vet. Many shots and pills and steroids but she continued to decline. Went from 13.3# to a little under 11# in a month. I then did a hail mary with PanacurC and only got through 2 days before she had some red blood color in her puke so we stopped that immediately. Took her to another vet and did a ultrasound. This vet found a marble sized lump in her left neck area that my original vet never found. Ultrasound also showed a very large spleen and slightly fatty liver. Weird thing is the blood test came back fine. I tried at the vets recommendation Pepcid Ac and Benadryl. Last 10 days she was drinking fine but didnt have an appetite. I got Hills AD high protein/calorie food and used a syringe and force fed her to keep her going. It got to the point nothing was working and the last day she puked 5 more times only drinking water she couldnt hold down. We had to make the decision to have her put out of her pain on 2-5-25 and she just came home today in her cremation wood box. In hindsight I would recommend any tests a vet does make sure you get an actual copy of the report and study it and ask lots of questions. If I knew back last August what I know now I would have started the PanacurC immediately because I totally believe in parasite and cancer correlations..
Hey man there should be a dosing guide by weight you just keep it going. I remember there was a guy on here a year or two ago that had a dog who had cancer that was giving us updates everyday. He started the fen and iver but unfortunately it did not work.
Honestly it was hard to read everyday. Recently I tried everything for three years to help my grandmother with dementia just to lose her.
What I am saying here is don’t get your hopes up to high. Be prepared for what’s about to happen. If the tumors are already so large, in her face, that they can’t be removed… the prognosis will not be good.
I remember that. Broke my heart. We just lost my FIL in September, my 16 yo Yorkie in December and I'm just really over death. Unavoidable in life, but dang it, I just need need a break.
I know in my heart what needs to be done but working through the desire to save her. Thank you for your input. 🖤
Work that process. You don’t want any regrets.
I’ve read that ivermectin is more suited to cats and fenbendazole to dogs.
I'm on my 19th cat since childhood. One lived 22 years, several lived over 18 years. The one I have now is 17 1/2.
I so hate to tell you this but trying to extend their lives never worked out for me. The best luck I had lasted two more months.
One thing I tell people when they ask why my cats live so long is to only give them distilled water to drink, no tap water. There are so many chemicals in tap water as you probably know.
As a fren said above, listen to your cat. They know when the end is near. It is hard to accept, even harder to comply but it is the right thing to do.
Wow. That's awesome that your babies have lived such wonderful lives. She has shown no sign of being anywhere close to death so this diagnosis was very surprising and caught us off guard. We will definitely listen to her and follow her lead. Thank you for your response
i just want to say about ivermectin in case anyone brings it up: it's apparently highly toxic to cats. I can't speak on fenben for cats.
Where is that info?
I hadn't seen that. I see it's good for heart worms in cats. And for ear mites.
I'm not a vet, but see this:
https://search.brave.com/search?q=ivermectin+is+toxic+for+cats
My takeaway was that ivermectin oral dosages have to be extremely low if using for a cat. I didn't want to mess around with it though, so i didn't.
You made me nervous bc I've been cleaning my old cat's ears this week and put a little paste in there. I think it's low enough a dosage, tho.
Thanks for sharing that.
im just saying be really careful.. it would suck to kill your pet by accident..
Heck yeah. Especially since she's my oldest; 18 on April 19th. I hope she makes it.
Oh really?! I have not heard that before. Thank you for the info. I'll dive into that.
Ivermectin is highly toxic in dogs. Ivermectin is commonly given to cats in HeartGuard.
May be breed specific. I have two German Shepherds that I give an ivermectin (body weight) dose to four times a weeks for almost eight months now. One dog has/had cancer the other I’m giving a dose just as a prophylactic. Both are doing great!
Our dog that had cancer in his leg had to have that leg amputated (this recently happened) because too much of the bone had been destroyed. BUT when first diagnosed back in June 2024 the doctor said she didn’t even want to start chemo because apparently bone cancer caught at that stage would spread too quickly anyway and it wouldn’t stop anything and that he’d be gone in couple of months so why put him through even more suffering. I wasn’t going to let that diagnosis stop me. I immediately went on ever K9 forum I could find and they all said the same thing. Fenbendazole, ivermectin, liquid Vitamin E. And per a commenter here in an earlier FenBen/Iver post at GAW: https://greatawakening.win/p/199OB4dX6P/new-cancer-treatment-protocol-fe/ we added Omega-3 Pet soft gel (fish oil) to this protocol and both dogs love it.
Thankfully my vet was open enough to write our dog a prescription for the Fenbendazole - not cheap, Chewy it’s $75 for a 90ml bottle (imagine a typical cough syrup size bottle). He gets FenBen 3 days Tue-Thur 9mil dose each onto cold pre-cooked chicken. Fri-Mon body weight dose of ivermectin on the same chicken meal. Two omega-3 in the morning in a cup of yogurt and another two at night mixed in the chicken meal. Eight drops of liquid vitamin E on the chicken at night every day.
Now my testimonial. I never missed a dose of what I wrote above. Within four days of the original painful diagnosis I had an order of Fenbendazole in my hand from Chewy. Keep in mind doc said bone cancer spreads quick and we’d probably put him down sooner than later for his own comfort. Well, that was going on over eight months ago! Every day that we have our guy is a victory. Here’s the best part. We went for a check-up back in early December - mind you - our doctor gave him weeks/months to live before she said his heart would fail due to the spread. Well, she came back and said she’s never seen anything like this. She recommended that his leg be removed but that the cancer had stopped spreading completely! She mentioned that typically cancer untreated would spread to the lungs and then he’d have trouble breathing and most likely die of heart failure. She showed me X-rays of his lungs that were crystal clear and showed me X-rays of a dog that had the same type of cancer and the lungs were night and day different. Also, he had blood work done and everything came back normal.
Liquid vitamin E and Omega-3 wow! Our Shepards fur went from dry/coarse to soft, smooth and silky. That in itself was amazing. I also switched to purified water because our tap water here in SoCal is dosed with heavy amounts of fluoride. I do believe this was a main factor in our dog getting cancer.
I never told our vet that I was using Ivermectin on our dog. So, unfortunately I don’t know if it was the FenBen that stopped the cancer or the ivermectin, most likely it was both. Doc says to continue our protocol and she’ll continue to screen blood work for any changes in him. If ivermectin was toxic it hasn't showed up in our dogs yet.
I don’t know (although have read here) about the pros and cons effect of Ivermectin on cats. But I encourage you to do more research. Go to cat forums online. Although, unfortunately my belief is cat lovers skew more left-leaning so less inclined to think outside the box with uses of FenBen and ivermectin vs. canine lovers who are way more open (from what I discovered) to eschewing the mainstream Big Pharma mentality.
One thing is for sure, the next dog(s) we get from day one they will be getting ivermectin for as long as they live. And absoulty ZERO SHOTS! F-Big Pharma the veterinarian industry is under the same control as our medical industry.
I wish you luck and prayers for your little feline!
All im saying here is be careful with your pets.
I agree. I’m afraid every time we try something new.
