<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">The jaundice is probably a side effect of the Winstrol. Is she still on it? If so, discontinue. You don’t need it right now anyway with her blood counts doing
so well. From what I saw in my cats, any of them whose liver enzymes increased, would show a quick and steady drop of the enzymes once the Winstrol was continued. After a rest period, I could start them on it again. However, my cats didn’t actually show any
jaundice, though their liver enzymes (ALT, ALP, AST, Total Bilirubin, Direct Bilirubin) might increase.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I just wanted you all to know that my cat Bogey made an unbelievable recovery in her counts in the last 6 weeks, only to become jaundice suddenly yesterday and is not doing well at all.<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Her platelets had jumped to 112 from the lower 20s. Her RBC was up to 4.9 and it had been half of that. The amazing jump had been in her hematocrit was al the way up to 38 from 15. She had been feeling so good and then everything went south
in less than a day.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Her enzymes are at 29. And the scale at the DR says the high end of the scale is .9. She turned yellow and I got her to the vet within the hour. She has been on IV trying to flush things out for about 28 hours. She is eating. But is very
disoriented. I believe she is less wobbly today but they are not retesting her blood until tomorrow. I have had 2 visits with her and she knows my voice.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">My doctor isn't willing to do anything else for her if she does't improve tonight. With her normalized blood test now, I am wondering if maybe they should look for a bile obstruction or something. She has no fever, normal bowel movements.
Her urine is dark.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was just wondering if I should be trying to find another vet if this one will not even ultrasound her. Suggestions?<o:p></o:p></p>
