Good luck to you Molly (and Mia kitty). I lost my Tigger last year. He too was tested and found to be free of FeLV and FIV when he was a tiny kitten. I never had him outside, ever, but at 5-1/2 years he tested positive for FeLV. They said the test is not always accurate the the vaccine is not always effective. Anyway, I do believe Zander’s Protocol would have worked on him had I gotten him on it in time. Precious time was lost when my vets balked at using Winstrol, and then told me they were seeking a source when they had not even looked. Tigger improved so dramatically the testing lab re-did his bloodwork, thinking they had made a mistake. However, he was just too far gone before I got him started. If I ever have an FeLV positive cat again, I will get him on Zander’s Protocol immediately.
Ardy From: Felvtalk [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of Molly Mou Sent: Sunday, February 26, 2017 10:18 AM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: [Felvtalk] Follow-up questions for FeLv meds Thank you all for the information for my Mia kitty. I have a few more questions for Amani concerning Zander's Protocol: doxycycline - Should a calculated dose be used based on weight of animal for this or is the dose that you give apply to all cats. Mia is a small girl - weighs 7 lbs. Also, how long should she be taking the meds. Is it the normal 7-10 days to 2 weeks antibiotic regimen or longer? Prednisolone - I assume this is the normal protocol for this drug - a loading dose with tapering doses. winstrol - looks like this is taken until the hematocrit reaches near normal range. Then, should this be continued to maintain a normal level forever? Thank you all again. I am grateful for your intelligent feedback and experience on this subject. I am at a loss since I have never had a FeLV cat in the many decades I've had the privilege of sharing my life with my cat companions.
