    I have a ten year old cat Max who has been a diabetic for 4 years, I check his blood sugars in am /pm and give him insulin twice a day.He was eating a little hard Hills Gastro/Weight. Recently he stopped eating the hard food and only eating the wet food and his bg lowered significantly and I noticed he was sticking his tongue out and drooling a little. I bought him to the vet and she told me he has a tumor and might not have very long .Also she lowered his insulin which is getting better bg numbers. I will try anything I can to keep him going .I have read that wheatgrass juice can help shrink tumors, so basically I am asking if it is safe to give to him and will it affect his bg? Also if you know of any holistic approach that will not effect his bg I would greatly appreciate your input
    thank you!!!!

    My BunBun weights 14 pounds and get one 15 mg pill Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
    Note the the pill should not be broken up. Because of this the dosing frequency is changed vice breaking up a pill.
    Also not that typically chemo drugs are not dosed by weight. Instead they are dosed by body surface area. The following is a conversion of body weight to surface are

    Further note that Palladia (Toceranib) can cause liver damage and other problems and frequent (BunBun's is every four weeks) blood-work is recommended.

    Thank you all so very much for your replies. I am taking Max back to the vet to get a biopsy and will keep you posted.
