<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tr><td valign="top"><div>Amani, I talked to a vet at Cornell U at their consult services today for a second opinion since things are not going well for Cole. He throws up almost every night after eating just a little ( tonight he threw up just in anticipated food-- no food-- because he is so nausea). He is going to starve to death with interferon and syringe feeding that has turned into force feeding!<br />Anyway Cornell U mentioned pednisone too but not winstrol<br /> How did you learn of this and I assume it is available in US? It took my vet a week to get interferon (that I now read will cause nausea, so now afraid to start it) , so afraid Cole dies nit have another week to find winstrol! Cornell U vet recommended every other day fluids, milk thistle and or denamarin to support liver, cerenia injection to help with vomiting, cyproheptading to stimulate appetite. And like i said earlier,
prednisone. Also, no supportive research but go ahead and give interferon that my vet ordered cause some have success with. I would live ti see the rest of your posts but dont know how to find. I have to do something different tomorrow than just force feed and orbax amd interferon or I am certain i will loose Cole and then probably his 2 brothers will follow from the Stress Because they are so extremely bonded. Thanks Karen and Cole</div></td></tr></table> <div id="_origMsg_">

However, the short answer from me is a recommendation to use Winstrol (Stanazolol). It is an anabolic steroid, which your vet (a) may never have heard of or (b) will give you a hard time about giving it to you. Your vet needs to get it from a compounding pharmacy. I suggest a dose of 2 mg a day for your cat because there are some very concerning numbers in the lab results you posted, especially the very very low platelet results, and low RBC and Haematocrit numbers. Winstrol will directly help increase the red cell count and haematocrit. It will also
significantly increase appetite. It will usually start having a positive effect very rapidly.<BR><BR>Don't wait. Your vet will probably give you the run-around on getting the Winstrol, and will likely suggest that Winstrol will worsen the liver enzymes (which are already increased). However, any increase in liver enzymes is likely to be temporary and they will drop back down when the Winstrol is discontinued.<BR><BR>Sorry to everyone else for being a broken record.<BR><BR>Amani<BR><BR>From: Felvtalk [mailto:<a ymailto="mailto:felvtalk-bounces@felineleukemia.org" href="javascript:return">felvtalk-bounces@felineleukemia.org</a>] On Behalf Of Karen Harshbarger<BR>Sent: August-17-16 5:30 AM<BR>To: felvtalk<BR>Subject: [Felvtalk] Can't eat<BR><BR>I come to you for suggestions for our Cole. We got Cole as a litter rescue from our yard<BR>We feed the strays and a little very young mother left them at our door<BR>We already had some house cats so built a kennel
to shelter them Outside and began To look for homes for them. Then two litter kittens showed up and old tom. A no kill shelter took the littler kittens. They found out one if them tested positive for feline leukemia. We tested rest of ours and all but the one female tested positive. So we cleaned out our garage, insulated, heated, air conditioned and sheltered them there. No matter what we did little Tig was so sick That he died before he was a yr old. He was such a sweet little cat that considered everything and anyone a toy--so sad. The rest tested negative the next two test. We all lived happily for next 3 1/2 years. Until this week Cole stopped eating.<BR><BR>Took him to vet and here is bad part.<BR>Tested positive for feline leukemia again<BR>Bun10 (16-3(<BR>Alt 294(12-130)<BR>Alkp 144(14-111)<BR>Tbil 4.2(0.0-0.9)<BR>Rbc 4.02 (8.54-12.20)<BR>Hct 21.1(30.3-52.3)<BR>Hgb 6.8(9.8-16.2)<BR>Wbc 2.06(2.87-17.02<BR>Neu 0.50(1.48-10.29)<BR>Lym

First few days was able to get him to take 2 syringes but then threw up and have not been able to get him past One syringe since then without him throwing up. He threw up food three times and phlem or hair. He is very alert, drinking, urinating 2-4 times a day, no BM until one little turd today<BR>He bathes Self after he eats, shinny healthy looking hair. Took Cole back today and vet did same as before but We changed to Orbax instead of clavamox. I was very excited tonight cause he attempted to eat But only licked gravy of purina Fancy feast., but was start. Later this evening after syringe feed only 3 ml he threw up what looked like two meals!! He seems to have a good day, but then has setback
with throwup--- three times he has done that . He has lost a pound in 6 days!!. So worried cause he cant eat on own and keeps throwing up.<BR><BR>His brother Ash tested positive again too but his bloodwork is all in normal range and seems ti be doing fine. His other brother BJ tested negative and bloodwork all normal range. Vet suggested no treatment for them. I housed them together and seperated Cole.<BR><BR>I am so worried that we are going to loose Cole because he cant eat and keeps throwing up syringed food. Also worried about Ash's positive test for feline leukemia again.<BR>Sorry for lenght but thought you wpuld need all info.<BR>Please advise as soon as possible. Thank you from Cole, his family and I<BR><BR><BR>-------------- next part --------------<BR>An HTML attachment was scrubbed...<BR>URL: <<a href="http://felineleukemia.org/pipermail/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org/attachments/20160818/5acdef6a/attachment-0001.html" target=_blank

the liver. Stanazolol brought my cat back from a red cell count of 10. If there is a problem with the liver, what is the downside here? If the Stanazolol doesn't work and the liver gets worse, there is probably little or anything else that will work. If the Stanazolol works, you will have another opportunity to deal with the liver down the road and I frankly think that once your cat starts eating again, this will be supportive for the liver as well.<BR><BR>Additionally, the Stanazolol should be given with 1 mg of Prednisone daily, which is also helpful to the liver.<BR><BR><BR>Amani<BR><BR><BR><BR>From: Felvtalk [mailto:<a ymailto="mailto:felvtalk-bounces@felineleukemia.org" href="javascript:return">felvtalk-bounces@felineleukemia.org</a>] On Behalf Of Karen Harshbarger<BR>Sent: August-17-16 3:07 PM<BR>To: felvtalk; felvtalk<BR>Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Felvtalk Digest, Vol 28, Issue 9<BR><BR>How did you know there was enlarged lymth nodes?
