[Felvtalk] Continued Improvement for Bogey on Stanzolol

Hi Sherri

The Winstrol does indeed make them feel much better, increases their appetite and seems to lift their mood. However, there is no question you are seeing a vast improvement on the numbers. The haematocrit, going up 2 points in a few weeks, is remarkable. The red cell counts are still struggling, but the reticulocyte count is showing that immature red cells are rising in numbers. The lymphocytes are gradually dropping, but still are not in normal ratio with the neutrophils. (Again, points to the need for the Doxycycline, but you are doing what you can.) I looked up the Pet-tinic, but I doubt that what is in Pet-tinic would help at all with the platelets - the iron would help with the haemoglobin count (haemoglobin is made up of an iron ring).

I do remain worried about the platelets, but you are certainly getting a good response on the red cells, haematocrit and haemoglobin.

Thank you for sharing.

Amani

Hi everyone. I took Bogey back for another blood test today even though she wasn't due until next week. I wanted to make sure we were going the right direction with the meds and to try to push again for the Doxycyline. I may not have spelled that right. No luck on that issue but her blood test all showed improvement except that her platelets dropped which he didn't seem that concerned about. She went without the Pet-tinic for a couple of days because they were out and had to order it and he seemed to think that might be part of that. Here is a comparison from 2 weeks ago. It is a gradual improvement but none the less made me happy. She really doesn't appear to be feeling any better as these number rise but maybe that is a side effect of the powerful steroids.

For people not familiar with Bogey she is 13 month old FEVL positive diagnosed on 8-1. Started on 5 mg Prednisolone and 2 mg of Stanzolol on 8-18. She eats and drinks well and is sometimes quite playful. But she does sleep a lot and tires easily. She is on her second cycle of the Stanzolol, the first of which was only 2 weeks and off for 1 week. This cycle and latest results are after 3 weeks. Dr is not taking her off it this time until her numbers improve. He insists she must come off of it (cycling) for it to be effective.

Just an update. Thanks for reading. Best to all.
