They are not the same virus, but I don’t understand your point in response to my post. The leukemia virus in cats can cause:
Weight Loss Fever Imunodeficiency and infections (from, among other things, reduction in WBC’s) Anemia Immune-mediated disease Reproductive problems Gastrointestinal problems Neurologic disease Platelet disorders Lymphadenopathy (enlarged lymph nodes) Cancer Respiratory and eye infections Oral disease As can be seen from this list, all three cell lines can be affected by the virus. This list comes from an article from peteducation.com.

It is used for this in humans too, with severe cases of genetically-caused anemia. I found it worked on all three cell lines though, but it was the RBC’s/haematocrit (PCV) values that bounced back first. I think that because it has stimulating effects on the bone marrow, this is why it eventually perks up production of white cells and platelets as well. As I mentioned in my summary of what happened to Zander, we first noticed that Winstrol was having a positive effect because his gums started to pink up.

Has anyone used it in concert with Epogen (Erythropoeitin)? Or used Epogen instead? I'm concerned about the paleness of Merlot's gums. He still has decent energy though. _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org<mailto:Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org> http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
