this drug is still available - DRs. Foster & Smith even have it - by
prescription.

Hi Amani,
I mentioned it to my vet this afternoon. He said it is a very old drug,
and he's not sure he can even get it anymore, but would look into it.

You know your cat's circumstances the best. However, my experience is that
the general veterinary community is mostly unwilling to prescribe Winstrol
and/or is quite unfamiliar with it (or only knows it enough to suggest
that there are possible liver side effects). Winstrol is a steroid, as
you've said, but it is an anabolic steroid, not a corticosteroid like
prednisone or dexamethasone, so it doesn't have the same interaction with
NSAIDs. I recommend you do your own research and come to your own
conclusions. If I had listened to the advice I was getting from the vet
specialists I saw for my critically ill cats, they would have died within
months of the diagnosis (which was what I was told was the best case
scenario).
In the end, you are the one speaking with your vet so you will be in the
best position to gauge how best to proceed. I am giving advice from the
sidelines, I know.
Good luck.
Amani
