I tried to send another link to an interesting scientific study entitled “Winstrol-V (Stanozolol) Therapy and Nitrogen Retention in Dogs” by Olson ME, et. al. Unfortunately, for some reason I couldn’t send a link. Therefore, do a Google search by plugging in this title.
Though it is a study in dogs, it summarizes the benefits of Winstrol in strengthening animals who have suffered from trauma, surgery or chronic conditions, and appended to it is the drug manufacturer’s summary of the effects of Winstrol and the conditions to use it for. Some of the quotes from the study are: “In situations such as surgical trauma, tissue-building action is desired, but appreciable weight gain is no. the increased retention of amino-acid-derived nitrogen without significant weight gain that was observed in this study demonstrates that Winstrol-V is an ideal therapeutic choice in those situations.” and “This study confirmed the tissue-building actions of Winstrol-V, which can benefit dogs with catabolic conditions, especially surgical trauma and chronic debilitating disease”. The drug information sheet includes some of the following quotes: “Winstrol-V Tablets are classified as ‘anabolic steroids’ because of their pronounced stimulatory effects on constructive metabolism. Stanozolol increases retention of nitrogen and minerals, reverses tissue-depleting processes, and promotes better utilization of dietary protein. Its anabolic effects lead to improvement in appetite, increased vigor, and notable gains in weight.” and “In a wide variety of tests in animals, Winstrol-V was shown to possess high anabolic potency, whereas its androgenic effect was very low. Extensive clinical investigations by veterinary practitioners have confirmed its anabolic action and therapeutic usefulness in dogs and cats.” Under “Indications” it states: “Anabolic therapy with Winstrol-V Tablets is indicated whenever excessive tissue breakdown or extensive repair processes are proceeding. Such processes usually diminish protein reserves in the tissues, thus leading to negative nitrogen balance. Winstrol-V is indicated to reverse tissue-depleting processes and restore constructive metabolism. Anabolic therapy is intended primarily as an adjunct to other specific and supportive therapy, including nutrition therapy. Optimal results can be expected only when dietary intake is adequate and well balanced. . . . Winstrol-V Tablets are indicated when the therapeutic objective is to improve appetite, promote weight gain, and increase strength and vitality. For these reasons, Winstrol-V is recommended for anorexia, unthriftiness, weight loss, debility, cachexia, inanition and poor hair coat when these accompany disease, trauma, or old age. Since certain skin conditions occurring in older dogs (alopecia and some types of eczema, for example) are caused by metabolic disorders based on negative nitrogen balance, Winstrol-V may help to control such conditions.” Amani From: Felvtalk [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Maya D'Alessio Sent: October-20-15 1:21 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Merlot status update My vet is not supportive of winstrol treatment, does anyone know of any sources I could send him to change his mind?

This is an omen of things to come. The virus is in there and causing a problem. It is unlikely to go away on its own. Don’t wait until he is doing badly to start the Winstrol. Again, with Zander, we saw very much the same course. Some abnormal haematology results, some lack of appetite, temperature, licking concrete. That was in June/July. We took him to the vets, he got some antibiotics and seemed to improve. Then in September, a HUGE crash back into serious illness and we almost didn’t get him back. If Merlot’s platelets dropped like that, the virus is affecting his bone marrow. Don’t wait until the effects are far-reaching and difficult to reverse. Athletes use Winstrol to build up their muscles and stamina and to repair damages tissue. My suggestion is that you use it as a supportive measure now and head off the very likely future crisis, even if it appears that you have achieved a bit of a reprieve now.

His fever hasn't changed, which is good and bad. Good that it's not worse, bad that it's not responding to drugs. We got to take him home tonight and I've just got him settled in Phil's office, where I'll be sleeping with him for the night. He's definitely in better shape than this morning, more perky and like himself, but we are still on high alert. The vet says he has roughly a 40% chance of a good prognosis. She's seen cats come back from this with FeLV, and others don't. We are taking him in first thing tomorrow to see the vet again and get re-evaluated, and we will make some more decisions about drugs at that point. The vet has agreed to try Winstrol tomorrow if the fever hasn't come down (he's on two antibiotics right now, an anti-nauseant and she upped the prednisolone).
