Probably all of these reasons.  You will get good advice here.

I recently posted about losing my four year old Sam, to feline leukemia. I took his brother , Domino, in to get him tested. He was negative, and my vet gave him the vaccine, along with 3 year rabies, and two other things, and he had a terrible reaction, which abated after four days .
During Dom visit, I asked her about Winstrol. She almost seemed as if it were a taboo subject, although she agreed that the elevated liver enzymes drop after stopping it for a few days. 

I wish she had not been so busy that day. As I'd have loved to talk with her more, about why vets seem so frightened of winstrol. She did mention it being a med abused by athletes. Perhaps they fear a stigma being attached to their names, for even prescribing it, or someone potentially abusing it?

> This seems to be a key concern of vets, but if you do more checking on line, you find that there are no reports of actual liver damage (in animals or in people for that matter). The enzymes temporarily rise, then fall when discontinued, with no lasting liver effects. One vet told me that the combination of Winstrol and prednisolone may be beneficial because the prednisolone may buffer any liver impact of the Winstrol. In my experience, when I have used the Winstrol, in two cats I saw the liver enzymes rise (one very dramatically) but both had their levels return to normal after only a few day off the Winstrol.
