I'm glad it all worked out for you.. I haven't seen any updates re: Bogey beyond your recent comment to Liz that the Stanazol is helping.   I am so glad you have a vet willing to prescribe it.. On Wed, Sep 28, 2016 at 01:00 PM, felvtalk-requ...@felineleukemia.org wrote: Send Felvtalk

Hi Sherri, Have you tried approaching your vet with the explanation that you heard that doxycycline stops the FeLV virus from, I believe, replicating? Amani - is that the terminology? Anyway, maybe your vet has not heard about this and may be curious enough to let you try it. I really feel the

Hi Liz, I agree 100% with Amani. I also agree as to how frustrating it is when vets give our babies no chance and won’t even try Winstrol. They lollygag around until our kitties run out of time. As Amani says the Doxycycline and Prednisolone are important to go along with the Winstrol. Ardy

Hi Margo, As far as I know he is not neutered, I’m not even sure he is a “he”……but he just seems like a big tomcat. And the other stray – Cally – is a female who showed up pregnant so after she had her babies I found homes for them and had her spayed. One reason I think he is a boy is that

Yes Ardy. The doxycycline has been found to interfere with RNA replication which is how viruses reproduce. Amani From: Felvtalk [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of Ardy Robertson Sent: September-28-16 11:46 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: [Felvtalk]

Roxanne First, I am so very sorry for your loss. It never, ever gets any easier, but you must know how much you did for your baby. Your question is not a stupid one. What you are asking about could theoretically be possible. A cat’s brain is no different than a baby’s brain, and if you shake

Thank you Robert for the Pill Identifier idea. They actually had given me the wrong pill and were very apologetic. She was a tech that dispensed these and just didn¹t grab the right bottle. Yikes. They did in fact give me Prednisone instead of the Prednisolone. Just from what I had read on the

Elizabeth, I am so sorry you are having such trouble getting your vet to try the meds. I can say personally that in my situation with Bogey, it DOES work. She is feeling so much better. I cannot get my vet to prescribe Doxycycline though and don¹t feel like I can push the issue. He has a fragile

Dear Ardy, Try joining the yahoo feral cat group. The group is undergoing changes, but they should have some really spot-on suggestions for you, these people know their stuff!https://beta.groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/feral_cats/info              I'm guessing he's not neutered?

Liz Personally...I think death is a rather negative side effect of NOT trying everything possible I do NOT understand the reluctance of Vets to prescribe drugs that they generally do not use if they are not offering any viable alternative.. My Yogi, for eg, is going blindOne

Ardy... I too had a blind cat and he did rather well... I simply am NOT willing to put this guy through 2 major operations so he can be blind AND have no eyes and still be susceptible ( due to FeLV) to a host of other ills Plus..he would be a sitting duck for his housemate who is
