Important note
FeliVitals is for tracking and organization. It does not diagnose lymphoma, predict prognosis, recommend chemotherapy, change medication, or replace veterinary care.
Who this guide is for
This page is for caregivers whose cat has suspected or diagnosed lymphoma and who need a calm way to record what happens at home. Feline lymphoma can affect different parts of the body, so signs and monitoring needs can vary.
A simple daily record can help explain the pattern between visits: appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, weight, energy, comfort, medication response and questions.
What daily care may involve
Veterinary care may include exams, bloodwork, imaging, biopsies or cytology, oncology discussions, medication plans and follow-up visits. At home, the most helpful information is usually practical: what changed, when it changed and whether your cat is comfortable.
Symptoms worth recording
These signs do not diagnose lymphoma by themselves, but they are useful to record and discuss with your veterinarian:
- weight loss, poor appetite or unusual hunger,
- vomiting, diarrhea, constipation or stool changes,
- low energy, hiding, reduced grooming or discomfort,
- breathing changes, nasal discharge, swelling or visible lumps,
- medication side effects, missed doses or appetite support notes.
What you can track in FeliVitals
- Appetite and feeding: record meals, appetite, calories, refusal, vomiting and notes.
- Weight: follow body weight trends over time.
- Medications: log scheduled and as-needed medications, times, missed doses and concerns.
- Symptoms: track vomiting, diarrhea, energy, breathing notes, stool changes and daily wellbeing.

A simple daily workflow

Prepare for your vet visit
A useful lymphoma visit summary may include appetite trends, weight changes, vomiting or stool notes, medication history, side effects, comfort observations and questions about when to call sooner.
Contact a veterinarian promptly for breathing difficulty, collapse, severe weakness, repeated vomiting, inability to eat, sudden swelling, severe pain, or any urgent change.
