<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I have had the worst nightmare happen to me.
I have a large cat family, I used to work at a cat rescue organization and
I also help any cats that show up at my door. Last year one of my two
outdoor cats started to loose weight. He was 12 so I thought maybe kidney
or hyperthyroid. He started having anisocoria (one pupil lager than
the other) and then I noticed 3 other cats with the same thing. I
researched online and found that it can happen to FELV+ cats. So I took
them all to the vet and found out they were positive. I then took the rest
of my cat family and found out I had a total of 10 positives and 12
negatives. I vacinated the negatives and am letting them all live
together. Since that time I have lost 5. Two older ones actually died from
kidney disease, I had to euthanise my son's 2 two year olds cats, one developed
FIP and the other ended up getting neurological problems until he could no
longer walk. I euthanised one that was having difficulty breathing and was
no longer eating. So I searched for a group that was going through the
same thing so maybe I could learn about what can be done. Grayson, who is
positive, is now loosing weight. He is 12 so I hoped maybe kidney or
hyperthyroid so I had his blood tested and he does not have either. He is
starting to have the sylmptoms of FELV. His hematocrit is 19 and he also
has an abcess on his face that doesn't want to heal. He is acting like his
old self and eating well. I know my vet would not have a problem
using winstrol, he has always worked with me. Where would he get it
from? Should I start it now before he gets worse. </FONT></DIV>
