Hi Robert The Winstrol isn’t really weight based. For cats, I would suggest starting at a higher dose of 2 mg/day and see what response you are getting in a week or two. I would leave them at 2 mg a day until you are satisfied with their progress and you feel they have turned a corner. If you are satisfied with the progress, you can try dropping the dose to 1 mg a day but monitor to see if you lose ground. If you do, get back to 2 mg a day.
I can't off-hand remember the Doxycycline dose. I will have to check that for you, but for that one, the vet probably knows.

I have never been sure of the dosages being used with winstrol and Doxy.... Those of you who are using this protocol: are you giving it according to weight ( X mg per lb) ? This would make the most sense to me... I get the impression that 1mg 2x a day is common...yes?? How about the Doxy?? Don't know that this vet will go for it but there is no harm in asking... She's not offering anything beyond " love him and feed him well"... Great idea if he would eat... This was NOT a big problem until yesterday..AFTER the administration of the appetite Stimulant.. As this is the only change in his regimen I think it wise to DC the mirtazapine for the present ( opinions??) Thanks for any input...
