Treatment of Alimentary Lymphoma in Cat (Felis catus) by Injectable Homeopathy – Case Report

Lymphoma is the neoplasia most commonly found in cats, with different forms of presentation of the disease. Among the various types of lymphoma, alimentary lymphoma is considered the most common in the oncology clinic in this species, reaching 50% of all diagnosed lymphomas. In general, this disease can be lymphocytic or lymphoblastic, differing as to the acute or chronic character of its manifestation. The B-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma seems to be the most severe and challenging to treat. The therapy of choice for this disease is conventional chemotherapy. However, this type of protocol results in a certain toxicity degree, often making the treatment sequence unfeasible. Within this context, complementary therapies stand out for not presenting side effects. Therefore, the ultra-diluted Viscum album becomes an excellent alternative for this therapeutic approach. This study aimed to report a case of feline alimentary lymphoma of B-cell lymphoblast type, treated by injectable, homeopathic therapy. A complete resolution of the mass manifestation was observed as well as an increase in the patient's survival, differently from those cases described in the literature.
