I hope all of you had a nice Holiday. It is way too chaotic but I miss it when it is over.
I wanted to share with you a couple of things about my FEVL + cat Bogey for anyone who is interested. She was jaundice last month and seriously ill in the hospital for a few days and has been home since 14th of December. Although the Doc wanted her back on her meds, Stanzolol Doxycycline, right awayI waited. After her blood tests on the 20th, with his insistence, she started back on the meds. No prednisolone because he had given her a shot when released. I did as he said but after 7 days on it, she started to eat less and seemed fatigued, so I stopped. So now she has been off them again for 8 days and got her blood tested today. Here is what has happened to her.

So we are starting back everything today. The tech noted that Bogey¹s serum was icteric. She is not jaundice at all outwardly. Is eating great. Doc says to try possibly one Stanzolol every other day. Or half a capsule twice a day. As well a 5mg Prednisolone 1 time a day and 1/4 doxy twice a day. I am thinking maybe keep her on the same dose of the Stanzolol but split the Pred. Do you have opinions? Anyway my baby seems happy. She loved her stocking full of Temptations and new toys for Christmas. I am so glad she is here beside me. Thanks everyone. Sherri and Bogey
