Olivia Expect an uphill battle with your vet. Keep Kokonut on the Doxy and Prednisolone, but add the Winstrol at 2 mg a day. I obtained the Winstrol in quick-dissolve tablets and Ardy got it in a liquid in salmon-flavour. Either way, the vet will have to order it from a compounding pharmacy.

Olivia It is a slow process. Once you get a bit of food into Kokonuts, she will hopefully start feeling better. Keep feeding her small amounts at multiple times of the day, if you can. Ask the vet to give her subcutaneous fluids or to show you how to do it at home (t is pretty easy). She is
