<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">You may be new to this chatline, and so I will bore the rest of the participants by repeating that my advice is that you immediately put Tiffany on Winstrol (Stanazolol).
It is an anabolic steroid. It helps to turn back on the bone marrow to produce red cells, and eventually, white cells and platelets. The dose is 2 mg a day to start until you get a good response (haematocrit back over 20 – sounds like Tiffany must be down
below 10 as my Zander was when he got blood transfusions). Once over 2 mg a day, you can if you want, drop it down to 1 mg a day until back within reference ranges for red cells, haematocrit, white cells, platelets, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">In addition to the Winstrol, I recommend prednisone, Doxycycline and Metoclompromide.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">My Zander lived another 6 years after his “crash” caused by Feline Leukemia. He also received blood transfusions and was on an oxygen tent.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I don’t want to bore everyone else by repeating this advice in any more detail, but I am happy to go into further details if you want. Be forewarned that the
Winstrol is hard to get, your vets will not have heard of it or if they have, they will argue with you about providing it, they need to obtain it from a compounding pharmacy, and expect that they will tell you that it will cause liver damage. The liver enzymes
may well rise but they generally drop right back down again after the Winstrol is discontinued, and for all the cats I have used it on, I have never seen signs of liver damage.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">In the last two weeks my poor Tiffany has had three blood transfusions. Vets and nurses all feel she has a will to live. We just need to get over this hump. She will now be on epogen. Any feedback is welcome. She was diagnosed with feline
leukemia a year ago. Has anyone had a feline tgat lived awhile with feline leukemia... Thanks<o:p></o:p></p>
