<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I am gritting my teeth right now. Your vet is basically giving you no options to treat FeLV, while telling you that a medication which might help MAY have negative
side effects. Well, without it, your cat’s odds drop dramatically. How’s that for “negative side effects”? I don’t think there are vets who are experts in FeLV as far as I know. Go back to your vet, say that you recognize that there may be negative side effects,
indicate you accept that risk, but your options are pretty darned limited, and ask for a trial of Winstrol.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

me, because I KNOW this stuff works and these vets are driving me totally batty. They will safeguard our babies from “side effects” all the way into their graves! (Sorry – pissy mood right now! I sound like a bleeping broken record.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p>I spoke with the vet this evening and she said Winstrol doesn't work and actually can have negative side effects. I also didn't tell her I had already started him back on the doxycycline but she said she would prefer instead he see the regular vet to see
what's going on with his eye. Since the doxycycline his eyes look normal again! I don't sense the same urgency that I have in this vet, although she is better than the first who just said to euthanize. Any ideas how to search FeLV specialists? I've Googled
for my area but nothing comes up. I live in San Jose Ca <o:p></o:p></p>
