What long-term anti-nausea meds are safe for cats on chemotherapy?

Question

Hi trixie has just started 1 Leukeran every 2 wks, prednisolone every 24 hrs& also has been on amoxicillin for almost 14 days due to her recent small cell lymphoma diagnosis. After starting the Leukeran her appetite changed we think due to nausea so we’ve added half a cerenia every 24 hours for 5 days& shes eating good again. If it’s the Leukeran causing nausea, the oncologist said she’ll put her on a different anti nausea med, one that can be taken long term& continuously., What might that be?

Hello, and thanks for your question. I can't say for sure, but your oncologist may have been referring to ondansetron, which is often used for controlling nausea in animals undergoing chemotherapy. Hope this helps.
