I posted about 10 days ago about Max, my baby boy with the bone tumor in his jaw/throat. The last couple of evenings, Max has seemed slightly feverish (darker than usual paw pads, lethargic). I'm sure he's running a low-grade fever intermittently in response to the tumor. Is there anything I can give him as an anelgesic/fever reducer?
Also, considering he is experiencing early adrenal symptoms (itchy, sexual agression) but is not a surgical candidate, would a Lupron shot be worth considering to try to ease his symptoms?
His tumor doesn't seem to be causing him any pain, although I'm not certain if he's eating any hard food (haven't caught him at the bowl lately). But he eats his twice-a-day BC Chicken Gravy with gusto, and happily chews up the occasional raisin he suckers Daddy into. I just want to keep him comfortable and pain-free until the dreaded day comes.
Thanks,
Melissa
