[Felvtalk] Bogie's First 5 days on Stanozolol

[Sherri Godschalk]

I wanted to update everyone here about how this medication is affecting the
health of my FELV positive 1 year old kitten.

Bogie got her diagnosis just under 3 weeks ago. The first vet I saw tried
Prednisone and an antibiotic for 2 weeks and it did nothing for here severe
anemia. (Her only symptom) I was told at that time that there was nothing
that could help her and to just keep her comfortable as she dies.

Changed vets.

New vetŠWas prescribed 2mg of Stanozolol once a day along with the Pred once
a day. This morning, Bogie got her 5th dose of Stanozolol. She appears to be
less anemic. Has more energy, sleeping less and more interested in playing
and is eating and drinking well enough on her own. Her gums are slightly
more pink as well. There hasn¹t been any side effects that I have seen with
this combination. Except I have to pill her twice a day but she is getting
used to that a little bit.

I don¹t want to speak to soon, but I believe just from how she is acting,
that this drug is helping my kitten make some red blood cells. She goes in
this week for a blood test so I will know if it is actually doing that .
Today is the happiest day we have had in the house in over a month.

I will reply to this thread to keep the group posted.

Wish us luck!

Best.
Sherri
