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

I remember researching AZT an deciding against it, but I don't recall why.  My two boys have been on interferon for years (low dose one week on, one week off) and I've never seen any adverse effects, but when they're sick, they seem to perk up during the "on" weeks. The anti-nausea was likely Cerenia, which is being recognized for it's anti-inflammatory properties, as well. He's improving. No need for any major decisions. That's really not a lot of drugs, all things considered :) It was two weeks until Gribs was eating normally, and seemed as if he might live. There really is no formula for mosr people. I always read "you'll know", but I'm not sure that's true. Sorry I can't be more help with that.

Can you send me your vet's information and I will pass it along to my vet immediately. He is mentioning AZT and interferon, but Merlot has a persistent fever and won't eat, I am assuming his body is not up to those drugs yet. He's currently on doxy, prednisolone and mirtazipine (appetite stimulant), and they gave him an antinauseant shot last night (cevinia I think). Question to the larger group; my cat is uncomfortable (although better than yesterday), I have to force feed him and he's on a ton of drugs. How long is this feasible? How long should I let it go if we don't see improvement? How do you make that call. With my last cat, she deteriorated so rapidly and it was so dire that it was a pretty straight forward call.

Anyhow, all I can say is I am happy I have a supportive vet. I will send you some links to stuff about Winstrol, but it is hard to find since the mind-set you have encountered already, is all too common, even when our cats are dying and there are few realistic alternatives. Most of the links I will send to you will not speak to the use of Winstrol specifically for FeLV, but speak to things like building up strength and improving appetite. Here is the first - very generic. http://www.petplace.com/article/drug-library/library/prescription/stanozolol-winstrol Amani P.S. - I also noticed you are not far from me. My vet is in Etobicoke, in the outskirts of Toronto. Perhaps your vet should call my vet? _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org -- Maya D'Alessio PhD student B1 377B, x32320 Graduate Studies Endowment Fund Coordinator Biology GSA Vice Chair GSA Director At-Large University of Waterloo
