Amani, was one of the other medications darbepoetin alfa (Aranesp)? I
just heard about that today when I called my local vet to see if he has
ever used Winstrol. He hasn't used it for ages, but suggested that if
anemia was the only issue, darbepoetin might be a possibility. This
would be for my cat Peaches, who has multiple myeloma and is FeLV
negative. The MM impacted her kidneys. She started chemo in August
(cyclophosphamide), and is slowly improving appetite-wise, but she lost
a lot of weight. I think at her checkup next week, we will see a full
remission, or close to it. But her kidneys may have been impacted for
the long term. I am looking into Winstrol to help her bulk up (she had
a bit of muscle wasting), improve appetite, and to help with her
anemia. She will be getting an iron injection for sure.

I feel for you Maya. If there are issues with anemia, then none of the
other medications he has Merlin on, will touch the anemia, other than
the Winstrol. Tell him you will sign a form if he wants you to do
that, indicating that you take full responsibility for treating with
Winstrol, but you want him to get it for you. Period. I just wouldn’t
put up with that kind of thing, but of course, in the middle of a
crisis is no time to be looking for a new vet (unless you want to
travel to Toronto).
