Hi Mirna It is a bit difficult to determine why your little boy may be having seizures. With all the things he has on board (FeLV, possible worms, infection, not eating) I would contemplate that some of his levels (like calcium or magnesium) may be low. Try getting these things in liquid form

Hi Pam Depending on how sick the cat is when you start the Winstrol – either 1 mg of Winstrol 2x daily or 2 mg of Winstrol 2x daily if you need a faster response (ie – no time to waste because the cat is doing very poorly). Along with the Winstrol: Doxycycline – 25 mg two times a day
