Re: [Felvtalk] Immunoregolin or Lymphocyte T-cell immunomodulator - help
Marlene - My Tigger had an active leukemia when I began Winstrol, based on his bloodwork. and he also was not eating. I gave him an appetite stimulant called Mirtazapine, only a half of a 7.5 mg tablet, every 3rd day, and that boosted his appetite. I also fed him the canned cat food that they sell for after surgeries - it is very calorie dense but I don't remember the name of it. Sometimes I had to clip a towel around him and syringe feed him a little. I did not want to do that because he didn't like having me do that, but I made up my mind that if was going to make it, he had to have some food in him. I believe Amani knows the name of another good appetite stimulant. When he would not drink any water, I gave him clam juice (we called it his kitty cocktail)- he loved it. It is just shameful that Winstrol is not legal for this use - they hold a grudge against it because of the misuse of it by a few athletes. So our kitties have to suffer without the one thing that can help them. It is also important to combine it with the Prednisolone and the Doxycyclene because the Doxy has some property whereby it prevents the virus from replicating. Best of luck with his treatment!!

Re: [Felvtalk] Immunoregolin or Lymphocyte T-cell immunomodulator - help
Marlene The suggestion of Winstrol/Doxy/Prednisone has been used repeatedly on cats with leukemia and lymphoma. Also, Winstrol is very helpful when a cat is not eating. Unfortunately, though there are other steroids, I am not certain you will get the same result if you use another steroid in place of the Winstrol. DO NOT USE another antibiotic. Doxycycline interferes with the virus replication and is added on to assist in retarding the reproduction of the virus, to enable the Winstrol and prednisone to have an effect. It is not for a secondary infection. I find it bizarre that, over and over again, vets will dither while a cat is dying. Put the cat on the meds, for goodness sake, and see the response and if there isn’t an appreciable response after a reasonable period of time, look for another option. But don’t have a debate while the cat is declining. What's the worst that could happen? It doesn’t work? What other options are they giving you??? I find it odd that the vets say Winstrol is illegal in Europe. If you go on line, you will see that it can be ordered from places like Germany. If necessary, get your vets to put him on the other steroid, though I really doubt it will assist - Winstrol uniquely causes the turning on of blood cell production in the bone marrow - I don’t think there is another steroid that does this. Then go ahead and order the Winstrol online from Germany or wherever else it can be sourced. But don't wait. The longer you wait, the worse the condition of your cat, thus worsening the chances of anything working.
