Ok, thanks.  My 2nd job is at a vets office so he works with me.  Skylar is healthy right now and eating like a pig.  So I hope he keeps that up.  I won't use it until after I see what his blood work says in acouple weeks.

I usually use it in pill form - 1 mg 2x a day, though some vets get it in liquid form. Winstrol is also known as Stanazolol. Warning: you are new to this group so you may not know of the extreme difficulty most people face when trying to get this stuff because it is linked with sports doping scandals. Expect an immediate negative response from your vet, though a few of us have been lucky to have vets willing to work with us and do what it takes to try and save a FeLV+ kitty.

The vet won't have this in stock. It needs to be obtained from a compounding pharmacy.

Is that a liquid?  From a vets office?

I also used LTCI before moving on to Winstrol. I had my cat on it for 6 months and monitored his blood weekly. Nothing budged at all in terms of seeing any improvements in haemoglobin, haematocrit, hemoglobin, etc.

Ok thank you, I will check with the vet about that one today.  If he is anemic, I am thinking of checking into the Lymphocyte T-cell immunodulator.  Thanks for your help

I haven't had any effect from using Interferon on a FeLV cat, but others in this group have. However, if Skyler's gums are white, it sounds very much like he is anemic. If the Interferon isn't helping, I suggest a Winstrol/Prednisolone/Doxycycline regime.

Has anyone used this Interferon before on an FELV cat?  I started Skylar on that.  he is not sick but since the IFA test was also positive, I wanted to give him a booster to his immune system so he will hopefully not get sick.  I heard it wasn't as effective after 3 months use.  It's 7 days on  and 7 days off.  We are in the 3rd series.  I am having blood work taken in 2 weeks.  His gums were very white so I hope he isn't anemic.
