Re: [Felvtalk] Nori...

2019-06-03 Thread Patricia Oliveira
Thank you, Robert!

Till yesterday night, i was more hopeful.

Nori started stanozolol on saturday and i noticed an improvement in her
appetite.

But last night she didn´t eat, despite looking for food. She went
till plate, stir in the food, but with her mouth closed all time. She
didn´t open her mouth to seize the grains of cat food.

I think her neurological issues are worsening :(

Today, i syringed food twice in the morning, gave her some subqs with B12
too.

I am really worried because i´ll be at home only at night.

Does someone have any option for neurological issues or just prednisolone ?

Thank you!

Hi Kristy - that's great about the blood work. However, don’t let it make you 
complacent. If she tested FeLV positive, and she is such a wee kitten, with all 
kinds of other problems, if it were me, I would want to get ahead of the 
problem. Also, as I've mentioned, the Stanozolol seems to be helpful for other 
conditions, and it also makes them feel better and improves their appetite and 
overall outlook on life.

Please let us know how things go. We're all praying for your little kitten and 
thank you for having such a good heart.

Hi Amani!

Thanks for your help!

As far as I know his bloodwork came back normal other than the fever. 

I will talk to my vet about the meds you suggested. Unfortunately the two vets 
I have taken him haven’t really been forthcoming with treatment options. 

My husband is taking him back to the vet on Friday since we can’t seem to get 
the diarrhea/bloating under control. 

Have a great day!
