Hi Karen If the Stanazolol works as expected, his appetite will improve very quickly and you can put him back on the baby food when that happens. Amani From: Felvtalk [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of Karen Harshbarger Sent: August-17-16 3:07 PM To: felvtalk;

Karen Don't listen about the steroids and the liver. Stanazolol brought my cat back from a red cell count of 10. If there is a problem with the liver, what is the downside here? If the Stanazolol doesn't work and the liver gets worse, there is probably little or anything else that will work.

Robert, I am in Fort Wayne, Indiana. This was a no brainer for this vet. I didn't request it, hadn't read anything about it, I was just looking for guidance and to find a doctor who would fight this fight with me. He said "The way we like to treat it is with a different steriod in addition to the

First - has the vet checked his mouth for sores?? Then see if your vet will prescribe Stanzolol 2mg once a day along with the Prednisone once a day. Try human baby food - chicken - mixed with the AD by syringe - Revival Animal Supply (on-line) has a food that is for baby kitties but you might
