I am staying ahead of him. He was dropped at my farm at a year old, he is almost 2. He is very healthy at the moment. Doing all I can to keep it that way. We need to find a cure.

My 2nd job is at a vets office so he works with me. Skylar is healthy right now and eating like a pig. So I hope he keeps that up. I won't use it until after I see what his blood work says in acouple weeks.

Winstrol is also known as Stanazolol. Warning: you are new to this group so you may not know of the extreme difficulty most people face when trying to get this stuff because it is linked with sports doping scandals. Expect an immediate negative response from your vet, though a few of us have been lucky to have vets willing to work with us and do what it takes to try and save a FeLV+ kitty. The vet won't have this in stock. It needs to be obtained from a compounding pharmacy.

I had my cat on it for 6 months and monitored his blood weekly. Nothing budged at all in terms of seeing any improvements in haemoglobin, haematocrit, hemoglobin, etc. Amani From: Felvtalk [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of Armstrong-Brown, Sheila DDS Timonium Sent: October-28-16 9:24 AM To: 'felvtalk@felineleukemia.org' Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Interferon Ok thank you, I will check with the vet about that one today. If he is anemic, I am thinking of checking into the Lymphocyte T-cell immunodulator.

However, if Skyler's gums are white, it sounds very much like he is anemic. If the Interferon isn't helping, I suggest a Winstrol/Prednisolone/Doxycycline regime.

I started Skylar on that. he is not sick but since the IFA test was also positive, I wanted to give him a booster to his immune system so he will hopefully not get sick. I heard it wasn't as effective after 3 months use. It's 7 days on and 7 days off. We are in the 3rd series. I am having blood work taken in 2 weeks. His gums were very white so I hope he isn't anemic. HOOT Sheila Armstrong-Brown Administrative Aide Psych Pool
