Re: [Felvtalk] Questioning FELV diagnosis

If I can chime in on Winstrol, it did wonders on my Tigger to get his bloodwork up. I only wish I had started it sooner, along with the prednisolone and doxycycline. Best of luck! Ardy From: Felvtalk [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of Amani Oakley Sent: Thursday,

Re: [Felvtalk] FW: FW: FW: Update on Bogey My FELV + Cat

My cats always looked like they had a camel’s hump when the vet gave them sub-q fluids, until they soaked in. Sometimes mine would leak a little on the outside as well. I also gave a small amount of pure pumpkin (not the spicy pie kind) and this is an excellent fiber source to make them have a

Re: [Felvtalk] FW: FW: FW: Update on Bogey My FELV + Cat

Another suggestion on getting a cat to drink……clam juice in a bottle. When my kitties were sick one winter they would not drink anything, and I had to get sub-q fluids at the vet’s. I can’t seem to handle giving the fluids myself. Anyway the clam juice has a fishy smell and they seem to love

My vet even gave me a bag os saline and now I can start the fluids when necessary. I just call for a fresh bag. Amani Oakley wrote: > Sherri > > Even without the issue of jaundice, if Bogey is dehydrated, the urine will be > darker. > > Sherri, do you know how

Thank you, Amani. I will be talking to my vet tomorrow and will definitely mention Winstrol. On Thu, Dec 15, 2016 at 8:02 PM, Amani Oakley wrote: > Randy > > > > Regardless of the cause of the anemia, I have repeatedly recommended > Winstrol (Stanazolol) which is used

Sherri Because she is probably dehydrated, the urine will be darker like that. She is probably also getting rid of some of the jaundice, so it is likely a combination of the two issues, causing the darkening of the urine. If you have given insulin in the nape of the neck, you probably already

Re: [Felvtalk] FW: FW: FW: Update on Bogey My FELV + Cat

Amani, Is she ridding herself of the jaundice when it comes out that color? I have never done it myself. I did call the vet before they closed today and ask if I could bring her in for sub Q in the morning and they agreed. I have given insulin in the nap of the neck, is it about the same? I will

Re: [Felvtalk] Questioning FELV diagnosis

Randy Regardless of the cause of the anemia, I have repeatedly recommended Winstrol (Stanazolol) which is used for intractable severe anemia in humans and animals. If you are new to this group, you may not have seen the difficulty most people face when trying to get Winstrol for their cats.

Sherri Even without the issue of jaundice, if Bogey is dehydrated, the urine will be darker. Sherri, do you know how to give subcutaneous fluids? It is very easy. Perhaps ask your vet to show you how. You just lift the loose skin at the back of the neck, and you inject or run fluids into that

Well I cannot seem to find anything that she will voluntarily drink. I think chicken broth is next. She groomed herself some today. But the last time she urinated it had started to turn more orange. Maybe this is expected? She does have more bounce in her step. Walking straighter lines and less

Hi Amani. This morning’s urine was also pretty clear. I will pick up some baby food today. She isn’t refusing to eat. She just is really too weak. If I hold her and let her lick it off my hand she does great. Almost a half of a 5.5 oz can already today. She has not vomited. I thought about milk

[Felvtalk] FW: FW: Update on Bogey My FELV + Cat

Sherri There isn’t any hurry to get her back on the Winstrol. I would wait. Her haematology numbers give you quite a significant cushion to rely upon. Winstrol likely strains the liver, so you want the liver to rest for a while. It sounds like she is better, though. I recommend baby food,

Just a little update for any of you following Bogey’s progress here or others who find these posts helpful. First day home from hospital. She of course wasn’t interested in eating. But I would sit with her and she would lick Hill’s L/d and a/d from my finger. She ate over a full can total. Every
