Thanks Ardy. We had Bogeys first blood test after 7 days and her HCT was only still at 15.4. Slight increase. She is pretty functional at this level. Still sleeping a lot. But eats, goes up and down stairs, bats at the dogs. The vet didn¹t seem surprised that it hadn¹t gone up more. It hadn¹t gone down. Considers her ³stable². He doesn¹t want to see her for a month to test again. He wants her to be off of the Stanozolol for one week starting next Wed and then put her back on it the following week for two more.
I was a bit disappointed that her blood results weren¹t better although I could tell just with her energy level that she hadn¹t improved much. Hopefully she just needs more time on it for it to take hold. I wish there was something more that I could do. I feel so helpless.

I do believe this drug combo (Stanozolol and Prednisone) helped my Tigger also, it¹s just that I started him on it too late. Tigger¹s bloodwork showed amazing improvement but I believe his diagnosis was very late since he had tested negative as a kitten, and at age 5 years they told me he had it since kittenhood but must have been shedding the virus when tested. I sincerely hope Bogie can benefit from this treatment since she is younger at her diagnosis. Also very happy that you have a cooperating vet!

Please keep us all updated. Amani From: Felvtalk [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sherri Godschalk Sent: August-21-16 10:36 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Felvtalk] Bogie's First 5 days on Stanozolol I wanted to update everyone here about how this medication is affecting the health of my FELV positive 1 year old kitten. Bogie got her diagnosis just under 3 weeks ago. The first vet I saw tried Prednisone and an antibiotic for 2 weeks and it did nothing for here severe anemia. (Her only symptom) I was told at that time that there was nothing that could help her and to just keep her comfortable as she dies. Changed vets. New vetWas prescribed 2mg of Stanozolol once a day along with the Pred once a day. This morning, Bogie got her 5th dose of Stanozolol. She appears to be less anemic. Has more energy, sleeping less and more interested in playing and is eating and drinking well enough on her own. Her gums are slightly more pink as well. There hasn¹t been any side effects that I have seen with this combination. Except I have to pill her twice a day but she is getting used to that a little bit. I don¹t want to speak to soon, but I believe just from how she is acting, that this drug is helping my kitten make some red blood cells. She goes in this week for a blood test so I will know if it is actually doing that . Today is the happiest day we have had in the house in over a month. I will reply to this thread to keep the group posted. Wish us luck! Best.
