<font color='black' size='2' face='arial'>Lance, a friend told me about this test. Hardy RL. She told me to have the vet take it as it will tell what stage she is in. Takes about 10 days to get results. Maybe it goes by another name? Ironically, the vet took it on her own. I never had to ask for it. I have messaged my friend to find out more.

</div>
<div>Also, Lance, I wanted to let you know that I am the founder and Admin of FELINE CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE (all caps) on Facebook. I have almost 1, 670 members. I can certainly help out here with those whose cats have this problem too. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">I have many questions. Hope you don't mind, as I am in learning stages. So here I go:</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1) I see Winstrol listed as the primary treatment for anemia. Can you also use Epogen or Darbeopoetin? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2) Can one develop antibodies with Winstrol? I have heard of this med, but don't know much about it </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>3) Also, I see you recommend 1 mg tablets. Is this for cats of all weights?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>4) Kit has fleas. I put Advantage II for kittens on her yesterday.She seems to be itching a bit more. Unless it's my paranoid self. I have heard alot about the Hemobart test, but I don't think she is infested. Will have a good look though. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>5) Could FeLV cause itching?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>6) She also has round worms, which I gave her a dewormer 2 days ago. Could this bring blood work down?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>7) Her temp is holding around 101.2 ~ 102.2. This is ok? She is no longer on Onsior.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am doing alot of reading now and hope you don't mind all the questions, as I'm sure I will have more</div>
<div> </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thx, Lance.</div>

<div class="">I’m not sure about the nodes. I guess it depends on what is causing the swelling. </div>
<div class=""><br class=""></div>
<div class="">I’ve never heard of the Hardy RL test and a brief google didn’t yield results related to FeLV. What kind of test is it? </div>
