I would go ahead with the Winstrol. The diarrhea shouldn’t interfere with it and it won’t worsen the diarrhea. My experience is that when they start to pick up, eat better, keep the weight on, etc., that the diarrhea gets better on its own. In any event, the diarrhea isn’t so concerning when everything else is okay.

We did not go further than that. I have a diarrhea problem we are trying to deal with and I think a specialist may end up getting involved. It is nothing that shows up in a regular vet office type fecal and antibiotics and steroids have not helped it. Neither have fortiflora, yogurt, pumpkin, some volcanic ash stuff recommended by my old vet, crying, or praying. Not all the cats have it but those that do it is intractable. Their senior bloodwork shows mostly the same thing, all the major stuff normal, mildly elevated white blood cells.

Unfortunately, only you get to live with the consequences of your decision. I learned that the hard way and always keep that in mind when deciding what to do. When I close my eyes at night, I don't want to be tortured but what I should have done but failed to do. However, what you have described with Coco (underweight and anemic) are both things that the Winstrol is excellent at helping with. I don't know if you spoke with your vet about that. That may be something you want to try with her. If you do, I hope you have as good a result as I had. In the meantime, take a while to cope with Merlin's loss and don't make any significant changes unless you are comfortable with them right now. Perhaps when you are a little less stressed, things may look different to you, but for now, you have a lot to cope with.

So at this point I have to wonder how much good "a vet told me" is.
