I have had the worst nightmare happen to me. I have a large cat family, I used
to work at a cat rescue organization and I also help any cats that show up at
my door. Last year one of my two outdoor cats started to loose weight. He was
12 so I thought maybe kidney or hyperthyroid. He started having anisocoria
(one pupil lager than the other) and then I noticed 3 other cats with the same
thing. I researched online and found that it can happen to FELV+ cats. So I
took them all to the vet and found out they were positive. I then took the
rest of my cat family and found out I had a total of 10 positives and 12
negatives. I vacinated the negatives and am letting them all live together.
Since that time I have lost 5. Two older ones actually died from kidney
disease, I had to euthanise my son's 2 two year olds cats, one developed FIP
and the other ended up getting neurological problems until he could no longer
walk. I euthanised one that was having difficulty breathing and was no longer
eating. So I searched for a group that was going through the same thing so
maybe I could learn about what can be done. Grayson, who is positive, is now
loosing weight. He is 12 so I hoped maybe kidney or hyperthyroid so I had his
blood tested and he does not have either. He is starting to have the sylmptoms
of FELV. His hematocrit is 19 and he also has an abcess on his face that
doesn't want to heal. He is acting like his old self and eating well. I know
my vet would not have a problem using winstrol, he has always worked with me.
Where would he get it from? Should I start it now before he gets worse.
