Hi there! I'm sorry to hear about your cat’s lymphoma diagnosis. Navigating treatment options can be daunting, but I'm here to help you understand the differences between the CHOP and COP protocols.
CHOP is a combination chemotherapy protocol using four drugs: Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin (Adriamycin), Vincristine (Oncovin), and Prednisolone. It's generally more aggressive and can be effective for achieving remission, particularly in higher-grade lymphomas. On the other hand, COP omits Doxorubicin, using Cyclophosphamide, Vincristine, and Prednisolone. This protocol is less intensive, potentially leading to fewer side effects, but it might not be as effective for certain types of lymphoma.
At home, keeping your cat comfortable is key. Ensure they're well-hydrated, provide a quiet resting place, and maintain a consistent feeding schedule. Monitoring for side effects like vomiting, diarrhea, or a decrease in appetite is crucial. If you notice these symptoms or signs like lethargy or a rapid weight loss, consult your vet immediately.
To make the best decision for your cat’s specific needs and personality, consider booking a video consult with a Dial A Vet professional. They can provide personalized advice and support to help you choose the most suitable treatment plan.

It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
