She had maropitant on day one with her vincristine, and I gave another injection on day 3 when she was showing these signs.

I haven't heard from owners today so I'm hoping she has improved. We will have to think about wether she has it again in three weeks.

Could it be she is just feeling nauseous secondary to the chemotherapy? Try maropitant

[quote user="SER"]She had a 50mg tablet which is just under 200mg/m2. [/quote]I would normally happily give most cats 50mg tabs but obviously decrease frequency pro-rata to achieve the equivalent of 50mg/msq alternate days. The advantage of getting specials made up is that you could achieve the actual dose accurately and perhaps avoid the side effects associated with the 50mg tabs. So say with a 4kg cats = 0.25msq if you got 12.5mg capsules made up you would achieve this. I don't know for sure, I'm just thinking out loud.

The screen with options to post in oncology wouldn't open on my phone but I will try re-post when at a computer!

She had a 50mg tablet which is just under 200mg/m2. The advised dose was 200-300mg/m2

I've never seen this in cats, I've always been amazed by the lack of side effects. What dose are you giving? You can get lower dose capsules made up pretty inexpensively by Nova Labs.

PS It might be worth re-posting this under oncology and Gerry Polton may be along.
