Good luck Kelley! Let me know how your vet reacts about the Winstrol. On Fri, Oct 23, 2015 at 3:51 AM, wrote: > tHAT IS WHAT MY VET SAID WHEN i GOT ANNIE. THE OTHERS ARE SAFE IF THEY > ARE VACCINATED. > > Kelley S wrote: > > Well, I am happy to

Re: [Felvtalk] FW: FW: Stanozolol (Winstrol(R))

I had a senior cat come into rescue and I gave him a rabies shot as required by law. He developed AIHA (Automated Immune Hemolytic Anemia) and after giving it a good fight passed away. I had a fundraiser for him and some of yall were nice enough to donate He had DAILY CBC blood counts as well

Re: [Felvtalk] FW: Stanozolol (Winstrol(R))

Parvo would be for dogs...cats cannot get parvoI don't know of any vets who recommend FIV vaccinations...they do not work well and the cat will always test positive for FIV after... On Fri, Oct 23, 2015 at 6:50 PM, wrote: > To prevent the disease, you need to treat it

My FeLV cat, Ruthie, has nonregenerative anemia. She was started on Epogen 2 weeks ago. No improvement yet. I mentioned Winstrol to our Vet.She didn't think it would be effective, and there is the concern for liver problems. But she said she would give it a try if I wanted to. Christine

Re: [Felvtalk] FW: Stanozolol (Winstrol(R))

Well, you’ve heard from me Christine. I recommend you should try it. I have used this stuff now on at least 8 cats and I have never seen any liver damage. As I mentioned, the liver enzymes go up but it is transitory and disappears when the Winstrol is discontinued, leaving no lasting damage.

Re: [Felvtalk] FW: FW: Stanozolol (Winstrol(R))

I have not vaccinated any of my cats for the last 5 years and no one has had any problems. Most do not go out, just one and he stays in my yard or on the deck. I am in the woods so do not have contact with many cats and dogs. Last vaccination, one cat had a reaction, lost the hair around the

[Felvtalk] Coco update

Well, I am happy to say she is eating like a champ. She ate one serviing of Prowl today, plus a can of food, plus some dry food - I don't really like her eating dry but it will put weight on her. Best of all, my vet say he has no problems letting her in with the rest of my vaccinated cats. I

Re: [Felvtalk] FW: FW: Stanozolol (Winstrol(R))

I hope no one in still giving combo vaccinations for FIV. My understanding is that the FIV vaccine (but not the FELV vaccine) will cause a cat to test FIV+ for lifetime. In the sad occasion kitty should get out and taken to a shelter, he will test FIV+ and that is not a good thing for a cat in a

Re: [Felvtalk] Coco update

I called both of my vet offices today. One was too busy to talk but they said they would call me back tomorrow morning. The other one talked to me and I was quite firm (proud of myself) telling him I would like the 4 vets in the office to either speak with me in a group, or talk amongst

Re: [Felvtalk] Coco update

Ardy – good for you! Frankly, though, with the Winstrol, no matter what they come back and tell you, I would insist. None of them will have to deal with a bad outcome if that happens with Tigger, and you don’t want to be left with “what-ifs”. That has been my attitude since all this happened

Re: [Felvtalk] Coco update

My vet seemed to really be influenced by the one study citing potential liver issues. I get it, it could cause liver issues, but in most cats it went away after coming off the drug, and if a cat is literally dying, then potential liver side effects are much less of a concern. To me it seemed like

Re: [Felvtalk] Coco update

Yes, I got the same impression. All the vets I have spoken with refer to this potential for liver problems, but they all just seemed to jump off the bandwagon and abandon the drug at that point. They didn’t continue to read the research that established that there was no actual liver damage –

Re: [Felvtalk] Coco update

You took the words out of my mouth--- they are prepared to inject drugs that will immediately end the life of the cat, but are not willing to try a drug that may possibly damage his liver, or could restore his health…HELLO!!! From: Felvtalk [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On

Re: [Felvtalk] FW: FW: Stanozolol (Winstrol(R))

As of this past January (2015), they were giving FIV vaccinations in combo with distemper, and a couple others, I think rabies, and is there a parvo one or something? I will ask next time I am there. This is in Osseo, WI. I would hope shelters would have this knowledge. Otherwise they are very

Re: [Felvtalk] FW: Stanozolol (Winstrol(R))

To prevent the disease, you need to treat it and vets do not seem to get that. Only by treating and learning about it can we prevent it. Ardy Robertson wrote: > Thank you very much for this information Amani. > > Possibly another reason they don’t want to treat
