Last year one of my two outdoor cats started to loose weight.  He was 12 so I thought maybe kidney or  hyperthyroid.  He started having anisocoria (one pupil lager than the other) and then I noticed  3 other cats with the same thing. I researched online and found that it can happen to FELV+ cats.  So I took them all to the vet and found out they were positive.  I then took the rest of my cat family and found out I had a total of 10 positives and  12 negatives.  I vacinated the negatives and am letting them all live together.  Since that time I have lost 5. Two older ones actually died from kidney disease, I had to euthanise my son's 2 two year olds cats, one developed FIP and the other ended up getting neurological problems until he could no longer walk.  I euthanised one that was having difficulty breathing and was no longer eating.  So I searched for a group that was going through the same thing so maybe I could learn about what can be done.  Grayson, who is positive, is now loosing weight.  He is 12 so I hoped maybe kidney or hyperthyroid so I had his blood tested and he does not have either.  He is starting to have the sylmptoms of FELV.  His hematocrit is 19 and he also has an abcess on his face that doesn't want to heal.  He is acting like his old self and eating well.  I know my vet would not have a problem using winstrol, he has always worked with me.   Where would he get it from?  Should I start it now before he gets worse.
