I should also have indicated that the drug is available. I have used it regularly, and currently have a cat on it. My vet has no problem in obtaining it for me.

Hi Amani,

I mentioned it to my vet this afternoon.  He said it is a very old drug, and he's not sure he can even get it anymore, but would look into it.

However, my experience is that the general veterinary community is mostly unwilling to prescribe Winstrol and/or is quite unfamiliar with it (or only knows it enough to suggest that there are possible liver side effects). Winstrol is a steroid, as you've said, but it is an anabolic steroid, not a corticosteroid like prednisone or dexamethasone, so it doesn't have the same interaction with NSAIDs. I recommend you do your own research and come to your own conclusions. If I had listened to the advice I was getting from the vet specialists I saw for my critically ill cats, they would have died within months of the diagnosis (which was what I was told was the best case scenario).
