[Felvtalk] Looking for advice

[Ardy Robertson]

Hi Ashley,

 

If it isn’t too late for him the Winstrol is fabulous at helping build up his blood. My Tigger’s blood work got so much better the pathologist reran the testing process because he couldn’t believe what he was seeing in the results. I did lose Tigg but I feel it was because I started the Winstrol too late. Tigger had the one week on / one week off of the interferon for about 2 months, and his blood declined while on it. But I suppose all cats are different. I just wish I had started the Winstrol and Prednisolone along with the Doxy much earlier. I too didn’t want him to suffer but I don’t feel he suffered. Whatever you decide, you are doing your best for him.

 

Best of luck to you and Hodor.

Ardy

Liz, I don't really have anything to add but just want to say I'm so sorry you and Hodor are having to go through this. I will be keeping Hodor in my thoughts and prayers!

I posted a few days ago about my cat Hodor. He's still not doing very well. I went ahead and started the doxycycline again even though I haven't spoken with the vet - she was off Sunday and Monday. Still haven't heard. His eye is looking a lot better with the doxycycline. I'm worried about him though. I want to ask about Winstrol. I'm looking for advice though, I'm not sure about his blood count or what it will look like at our appointment scheduled for 10/4.  He's on his 3rd week of interferon... Alternating weeks on and weeks off. I'm worried when we take him for the appointment they will ask us to euthanize him. Would any of you try another transfusion to see if the interferon can work? Or if we get Winstrol to give that a shot? Or should we accept that it might be his time to go. I don't want him to suffer, and I don't want to put him through another round of this if it's inhumane, but I don't want to lose him. Thanks.
