But then - since there is such a stigma about Winstrol, I had to do my own research to find a source for it in the US. I found a place in Canada, but they were not allowed to sell to the US. My former vet's office said they could get it, and told me they were trying to locate it, but several days

I agree that if you have those findings in a urine sample, that there may be an infection, but more often than not, when a urine sample is cultured from cats, nothing grows and no bacteria are seen. By the way, as far as I know, the specific kind of white cell (ie – neutrophils, lymphocytes,

Why is it so rare that bacteria cause a UTI? I have read in blood work myself that it is quite possible. High WBCs and high Neutrophils in the urinalysis will indicate infection. Also in a urinalysis, it will state if bacteria is seen or not. So I am a bit confused. If there is blood in

Hi Nancy It is very rare that cats get an actual urinary tract infection caused by bacteria. Instead, they may get cystitis or other inflammatory conditions. If that is what you suspect, then prednisolone may be of assistance. However, given her lack of appetite as well as not using the litter

Marsha When Ardy started Tigger on the Winstrol, his haematocrit was 6, and as she said in her post, it was certainly looking extremely grim at such critically low numbers. The blood panel also came back with a comment from the pathologist that the anemia was regenerative. He has been on the

Rachel, for what it's worth, I agree with Margo. The odds are that the steroids kicked in because they will (a) reduce the inflammation and (b) make him feel better (peppier) and thus he will be more interested in eating. Another suggestion is to get him on metoclopromide which helps increase
