[Felvtalk] Bogey's Progress

Good afternoon everyone. I was a pretty active person on this board when my new stray kitten Bogey was diagnosed as FELV+ in 2016. We had a rough go of it the first six months and you all were very helpful and kind and I can't thank you enough for that. The information was invaluable. I have

Hi Amani. Thanks for writing. Bogey actually was taking 2mg of the Stanazolol once a day. (one capsule) Is that what your Zander was taking? Doc said I could try every other day, or try 1mg twice a day if she starts to become ill again. I think it is going to be a real balancing act here. In that
