[Felvtalk] Uveitis...

Wondering what the vet’s reason for not wanting to prescribe Winstrol?

Thank you all for your suggestions re: Uveitis.  As I wrote the original note more than a week ago much has happened since....  I went back to see the Vet expecting to get Winstrol and got a different vet instead.  THIS one prescribed Prednisolone Opthalmic Ointment 3-4X qd for the badly affected eye 2x for the less affected... Oral Prednisolone for two weeks ( diminishing dose) and Buprenorphine for pain......  My guy is improving quite a bit and I am so happy.....  BUT... this vet is not on board with prescribing Winstrol ...  Won't go into my impressions as to why at this time.....     Anyone know if improvement lasts for any length of time once the cortisone is discontinued or must it be continued ( at a lower dose) indefinitely.....  From Everything I have read this is a generally chronic condition that only remits....

Again....thank you all for your input and suggestions....  It is a BIG help.
