Maya I once again have to suggest that you put your foot down and demand the Winstrol. Obviously, and not surprisingly, what the vets are giving you is not working. The choice is yours but I would not give up without first trying the Winstrol. It sounds like his blood cells are very low, and as I have been saying all along, you need something to boost them. Ignore the lump in the abdomen. This will not be what takes him from you. It is the difficulty breathing which may indicate that his red cells/haemoglobin has dropped to the point where he is having trouble transporting sufficient oxygen. My Zander had to be put in an oxygen tent when this happened to him, until he got a blood transfusion.

He's having trouble breathing, a bit dehydrated, not interested in food, and the vet thought she felt a lump in his abdomen. We might have to make a hard choice tomorrow. I want to give him the night to see if he improves at all.

I figure that when I go in, I have had the time to really evaluate the pet, know pretty well what's going on, and have had the opportunity to research the possibilities for that one critter. I'm not dealing with multiple species and patients. I can focus. I like it when she also has input, and I think that together, we are better than either of us alone. Since the lymph node incident, we have found a way to get where we want to go in the best way possible. Recently my Vet found an off-label use for a new flea/tick med that saved my new dog from daily doses of a pretty toxic drug. I didn't know about it. And I am now trying to introduce her to Zeutering, which is a form of chemical castration that I am considering. Of course, there are times...:) Margo -----Original Message----- >From: Lorrie <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> >Sent: Nov 15, 2015 10:01 AM >To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> >Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Lymph nodes > >You got that right!
