WInstrol - build muscle mass and increase appetite

That's very good to know. I'll copy this to Susan, who's on this lilst but may not be reading. We've talked recently about how to build muscle mass on these puny kitties that just don't thrive easily. She has one now that she's hand feeding several times daily (whew!). Can you get it

Gloria~ Yes, it has to be prescribed thru a vet because as I said it is a "controlled" drug - right up there with narcotics. However, it does work very well with cats that seem to be "wasting away" due to their illnesses. As much as use of steroids is debated, I feel when it comes down to

That is so true - that they are in our hearts forever. Even if they've only been our fosters for a very short time. Chrissy was so pretty and had been so unhappy around other kitties, and this seemed to be the perfect home for her. TenHouseCats [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: sigh. i'm sorry,

No, the citation is just the book and volume number. You probably have the actual court decision. Thanks for offering to fax it, but that's not necessary. I saved the summary that you sent me, and if I ever need access to the case I'll contact ALDF. The only fax machine I have has to be

Look at the reasoning used in the decisions you have where ordinances were struck down, and see if you can use that. Also, if you can get one of your "expert" witnesses-- the vet or the animal services person who is writing you a letter-- to say in a letter or in testimony that different

That is really strange-- that they say you need a permit but do not have any written record of giving them out? I would say that bolsters the claim of arbitrary and capricious behavior-- that they do not seem to have a uniform way of deciding or recording the permits, and seem to do it by

Actually, the owner indicated that it was her choice because she herself has had kidney stones and knows how much they hurt. She was new to that vet, as she just moved (like 10 miles from her former place). From what she said, she was just adamant about it, thinking she was doing the right

If they all have limits and they are a fixed number, I probably would not bring them up at all. As to your argument, I think you are right about focusing on the 10% issue. It is really random. Where does it come from? Are they suggesting that people who have dogs are supposed to confine
