<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra">I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your furry friends. Luckily my suspected FELV sweetheart Dolce is doing really well at this moment. He went from very lethargic with pale gums and nose to a lively guy with the help of 1 tablet of prednisolon every other day. I am very much interested in starting with Winstrol to help his RBC go further up but not sure whether I have to stop using the prednisolon or use both of them together.We live in the Netherlands and I already found out that I can buy the 2 mg tablets in an online shop for a reasonable price.</div><div class="gmail_extra">I want to thank all the members of this forum for all your stories and advises. There is not much knowledge here about FELV and it is very common to put cats to sleep after very uncertain snaptest diagnosyses. So glad that thanks to your encouraging advises he is still a very happy cat. Although I am a bit concerned about a lump he developed under his left eye. It does not seem to bother him but I hope it does not grow any further. </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Jetty an Dolce</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">2015-11-19 2:16 GMT+01:00 Jane Gannon <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:straycats@roadrunner.com" target="_blank">straycats@roadrunner.com</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><u></u>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY:'Arial','sans-serif';COLOR:#1f497d;FONT-SIZE:10pt">Speak
with your vet. He probably uses a compounding pharmacy for other types of
medication. This is where my vet gets Winstrol. Our vet can get the Winstrol
in 2 strengths: 2 mg and 1 mg tablets. They are hard to cut in half, but for a
long time, that is what I had to do since originally the compounding pharmacy
only had the 2 mg size tablets. The tablets are very small and powdery when
split, and dissolve very quickly with very little moisture. Therefore, it made
life a lot easier when the compounding pharmacy started providing 1 mg sized
tablets. If you can only get 2 mg tablets, you also have the option of just
giving them once a day, but I think it is better to give 1 mg, 2 times a
day.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

have no idea where you are located or how big the compounding pharmacy is that
my vet uses, but it is called Chiron. (I’m in Ontario, Canada, and I think
this compounding pharmacy is located close to Guelph Ontario, near the vet
college there).<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY:'Arial','sans-serif';FONT-SIZE:10pt">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. </span><u></u><u></u></p></div>
