None of this is your fault at all. I too was given no hope for my Zander. It is
the reason I was so angry with the vet community when I stumbled upon Winstrol
and found it worked. I was then so stunned to find out that I hadn’t just
accidentally “discovered” something new. The vet I spoke
Oh, Christine, I am so sorry.
You did all you could do, and wanted to give her every chance. I wish it could
always work out that they never suffer for a second, but it just doesn't happen
sometimes. I've been there too.
thank you, for responding. It is giving me peace, to hear from you and
Thank you Marsha, for your kind reassurance and wisdom. I don't think Sam would
have made it another day, actually, now that I realize it was severe anemia
making him weak. I didn't think of that right off, but I once treated a

Amani, do you know of any references I can look at regarding FeLV effect
on the heart? Brock has restrictive cardiomyopathy, which results from
scar tissue or protein deposits in the heart muscle. The vet thought it
could be congenital. Are there any studies showing percentage of FeLV+
cats
Amani,
Thank you. I actually read quite a few of your posts about Winstrol. I am glad
for you, and sweet Zander, that you found something to give him more time..
lots of love and living in that extra time, I am sure.
I am sorry for your loss, though. Seven years just isn't enough, but Zander
My condolences on your loss of Sam. You gave him the best life you
could, and you made a reasonable decision in the end. There is no
guarantee for the treatments some have tried, and by the time you
researched each, found someone who would work with you, and then ordered
and received it, it
Dear Lance,
Thank you so very much. It means so much to me to have the input from those who
understand the disease, and who also love their furbabies.
I will have them tested, sooner than later, because every time I look at them
now, I fear for them.
Thank you for the link. It was helpful
Hello. My name is Anne, and I just had to put my kitty, Sam, down on Wednesday,
due to his having felv and being very ill.
I am having those terrible self doubts now... I have had to let some furbabies
go in the past, and I always have those doubts, even though I know it was the
right thing

First of all I'm very sorry for your loss.
I've been on both sides. Just recently, I was dealing with FELV cat. Very
anemic. I kept holding off on putting her to sleep, trying different
things. Ruthie had been maintaining. then started to go downhill fast.
The morning she passed, we were
I will definitely ask my vet, if my others should be positive too. I have found
that often, we know things that some vets have no experience with. Some resent
it, but some are humble and the animal is more important than their egos.

Anne,
I’m sorry for your loss. Sam sounds adorable (we have a squirrel-tail, too).
You did what you thought was best for him based on the advice of the vet. And
that’s okay. It’s the best any of us can do. We all walk a fine line between
wanting to give them every chance to rebound and wanting
Zander was just the most wonderful cat, Anne. My husband and I would have done
anything at all for him. We loved him dearly and desperately and he loved us
right back. We have been involved in rescuing strays for quite a while, and
that sweet little boy was certainly one who made a huge mark

At 2 mg a day, a person would need a whole lot of vet pills to use on
themselves. The normal dose for humans is 10 to 12 mg a day, and athletes use
it at way higher levels to enhance performance. In any event, I would think
that a vet could reassure themselves by just limiting the

This is same sort of thing that Zander eventually died from at age 7. In his
case, it was dilated cardiomyopathy, but the vet also commented on the
extensive scar tissue in the heart.
Someone else on the chatline mentioned their FeLV cat died from cardiomyopathy.

How high was Aphrodite's creatinine level? Peaches' WBC had been scary

Perhaps but that wasn't my experience, and if you go on line, you find others
who find it extremely helpful for chronic kidney disease cases, just like you
mentioned. But Marsha, if the concern is that the results were "lackluster",
then what could possibly be the explanation for the pure
Amani, I think you already hit on the reasons for refusal earlier - the
report about potential liver damage, but probably the bigger reason is
that humans try to get hold of it for themselves to use illicitly.
What percentage of your cats that got Winstrol were FeLV+, and how many
got it for
Maybe part of it is because of lackluster results for the conditions
they *were* using it for. I found 2 "old school" vets in my area that
had used it a couple of decades ago, then kind of forgot it existed

didn't make that
