Re: [Felvtalk] FW: Questioning FELV diagnosis

That is information that is definitely useful to me! Thanks so much! Do you know what dosage of Winstrol I should ask for for a 6.8 pound cat? I want to have as much info as possible when I talk to my vet on Monday. On Fri, Dec 16, 2016 at 4:25 PM, Amani Oakley wrote: >

[Felvtalk] FW: Questioning FELV diagnosis

No Randy, Winstrol is an anabolic steroid (unlike prednisone which is a corticosteroid) so it does not have a dampening effect on the immune system. What you need right now is something to stimulate red cell production. If your cat has FELV, then the problem is that the progenitor cells in the

Re: [Felvtalk] For all the kind souls who care so much

My vet has never told me to put down my FelV cats. and some of them have lived to be 8 or 9 years old and have never been sick. Others have not been as fortunate and those I treat until I see that I am only keeping them alive and they are suffering. Those poor cats should be put to sleep.

Re: [Felvtalk] For all the kind souls who care so much

I can see this issue from both sides. I am fortunate to have enough money to treat my sick cats but not everyone has. I spend no money on anything but my cats, as to me they are my family members. I have 13 rescued cats at home and pay huge vet bills as they are older now and some have

Re: [Felvtalk] Questioning FELV diagnosis

Thank you so much for that info, Sherri. I'm going to continue with the interferon and the Prednisone and talk to my vet early next week about Winstrol and Doxycycline. She's hanging in there for the moment. Drinking well, eating quite a bit of Fancy Feast Gravy Lovers which is the only thing she

Re: [Felvtalk] Felvtalk Digest, Vol 32, Issue 19

Randy . I wouldn't be so quick to rush to judgement about those who put their animals down when they become seriously ill... there are fiscal concerns to be considered and not everyone has the " hundreds of thousands of dollars" to put into uninsurable cats  My two FeLV cats have are

Re: [Felvtalk] Questioning FELV diagnosis

Randy, So sorry to hear about your Tigger. I will also add my experience for the Winstrol, Doxy and Prednisolone. This combination of drugs is saving the life of my cat. I don¹t understand all of the science of how the medicine works on creating new red blood cells. Amani does though! But when

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

Good morning everyone. It has been a good day here. After the week that we have had, to have my little Bogey go and find her litter and start burying things was music to my ears. I figured after that she would just try to return to bed after. But she walked around looking for her food dish. I

Re: [Felvtalk] For all the kind souls who care so much

So well said Randy and I mirror all of your comments. I sometimes put upon my pets what I would want someone to do for me if were to become seriously ill. My sister got so angry with me that I didn’t put my dog down after he started losing his hair and stumbling about. The vet could find nothing

Re: [Felvtalk] Questioning FELV diagnosis

It's interesting that our vet was very hesitant about even prescribing Prednisone because he is afraid it will suppress her immunity to secondary infections. I know that is a risk. Would adding Winstrol suppress her immune system even further? I'm very confused about how to proceed. On Thu, Dec

Re: [Felvtalk] For all the kind souls who care so much

Hi Randy Thank you for your kind comments. I think that we came together in this forum because all of us were really fed up with the fact that most of us encountered vets who immediately tell us to put down our FeLV cats. I personally have vented many times in emails, about the extreme
