Which is why I said "sort of". Both Panleukopenia and Canine Parvo are
parvoviridae. They are caused by different forms of parvovirus, and don't seem
to cross species, but similar enough that the same test can be used to test for
both.
Now I'm going to digress ;)
You've brought up another interesting and annoying bit of terminology ;)
"Distemper" in dogs is caused by a paramyxovirus. "Distemper" in cats is
caused by a parvovirus.
There is a virus in the family paramyxovirus that affects cats, but it is
thought to cause kidney problems, while the dog form is respiratory.
From Vetvine; "It is speculated that a feline nephrotropic virus, such as
FmoPV, may trigger a ... Feline morbillivirus, a previously undescribed
paramyxovirus ..."
It's really difficult to explain to some clients that no, your dog can't get
"distemper" from your cat, or vice versa, but they can get similar diseases,
which are in reality not at all the same thing.
Off soapbox...

No – it’s primarily for red cell production. 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.

Question about the Winstrol - is it good for RBC too? or mostly just
the WBC? 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.
