Thank you, everyone. This makes more sense now. I am not the brightest crayon in the box and I also worry too much. Last night I was googling this and it...
Alex is right. Leflunomide is VERY strong stuff and must be administered correctly or bad things can happen. The same goes for Lomustsine. Contact Sisson and...
And what Mike is describing is yet another example of the subtleties of treatment that only a neurologist who is very experienced in the use of these powerful...
From: Alex Eisemann ... I'm going to dispute this just a wee bit, but because my situation was so weird it probably wouldn't apply to anyone else. Kisa ended...
... I can't agree more. Carleigh is one of the more fortunate on this board, but she had a horrible allergy attack in Florida. At ER Vet at 3:30 in the ...
I agree, I should have been clearer in what I said. Any vet who's willing to listen and work with Dr. Sisson (or perhaps the Arizona group we now know about)...
Thanks Chelle, Your response make me feel better about my decision. Got a call today that the Luflunomide has arrived at my vets and I have an appt. on...
Thanks Susan! I couldn't agree with you more. I often feel Frida is soooo lucky to have us for owners, because she would have been dead a long time ago. But I...
I didn't mean to imply that Frida is THE ONE AND ONLY perfect dog... I just meant that she's perfect. She is clearly joined by all the other dogs in this...
I haven't kept up with the whole thread on this topic, but saw that Dr. Sisson was changing his recommendation yesterday morning. We had planned to start...

I'm curious as well. When I met with him, he was very pro Leflunomide and said that was now his first choice over Lomustisine barring any special conditions...
Mike, So glad you got Rem to Dr Sisson. Sounds like it was not a moment too soon. I hope Rem has as easy a time on the Leflunomide as Dino has. The only...
Jill, Sorry to hear Frida had such a bad time. She's lucky to have such a good mom who's on top of it. I hope she's over the hump and feeling better. Donna...
I really don't want to still use the same vet but I will............ and I will also pay more attention now that I understand what to look for on the CBC. As...

He said that since we had already started cytarabine and cyclosporine he recommended still going with the lomustine. Apparently, it is more risky to add in...
So does that mean he said that, in general, he prefers to start dogs on leflunomide when he gets new cases but for dogs already being treatment, he prefers to...
Alex, I noted in a recent message you had written: "By the way, since leflunomide is a chemotherapy drug, you have to wear gloves when handling it and be very...
I can't recall if it was the pharmacist or Dr. Sisson but someone definitely told me to wear gloves. Can you confirm it with him? Some people think there's...
Our vet also said to wear gloves - which I forgot to do. Rather than cutting the pills, we had a pharmacy compound a couple of the 10 mg pills into 1 mg...
That's what he said, if I remember right. New dogs get the leflunomide but he wanted us to stay with the lomustine. I'm not totally sure what the discussion...
Hi Alex, I don't know if you mean Dino. He was started on Cystosar by UC Davis before our trip to Boston. Originally, Dr Sisson planned to continue Cystosar...
Hi Julie, My first bottle of leflunomide had no warning but the second says "wear gloves". Dr Sisson said to just wash your hands after handling. Donna ... ...
Hi, This is my first post on here. I promise to post more in the future. I was initially told by the pharmacy staff at the ASPCA hospital to wear gloves while...
