<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Zander was less than 7 pounds when he was on this protocol. This is the Doxycycyline dose I used for him. Zander was on his protocol for 10 months or so, until
his lab results showed his haematocrit, red cells, white cells and platelets all back in the normal ranges, and holding there. That last part is important, because it took a long time before I was able to taper Zander off the meds and keep his numbers in the
normal ranges. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">For the prednisolone, I did not use a loading dose, but I tapered all the meds, as I was trying to wean him – ensuring that the lab results would let me.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">With respect to the Winstrol, after the haematology numbers stabilized, I weaned Zander off, and then kept an eagle eye on him. If I sensed his energy had flagged,
or his ears, gums or pads looked less pink, I would put him back on the Winstrol for 4 to 6 weeks, and re-tested him or when I was satisfied his colour was okay again.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
