Just quickly... From Plumb's Veterinary Drug Handbook Fifth Edition
Stanozolol (Winstrol) Cats; 1-2 mg PO bid (twice a day); or 25 mg deep IM, may repeat weekly. Treatment should continue for several weeks, depending on response and condition of the animal. Doxycycline varies from 5mg/kg to 5-10mg'kg to 50mg per cat, but all are every twelve hours. I always used 25mg per cat unless advised otherwise.
