It seems you are on the right track and keeping his feedings small will help 
also.  I know my Harley who is not sick, just gulps down too much at one time 
and then up chucks has to get small amounts to prevent that.  I also have a pot 
of lemon grass for the cats to munch on when their stomachs are upset.With 
all he has going on, he has a lot on his plate to deal with and other than the 
right medications, the greatest gift you can give him i love.  mWill keep both 
of yu in my prayers.

Re: [Felvtalk] winstrol

[Ardy Robertson]

Thanks!! I hope so too. I wrote a longer note to the FeLV chatline, but I
guess it is too long. I didn't know there was a limit in size. The moderator
is checking it out. If it doesn't go through, I will send a few shorter
notes detailing Tigg's progress while on the Winstrol and
Prednisolone...like I said in that note, without the Winstrol, we would
have lost him in March.

Thank you,
Ardy

Re: [Felvtalk] Brock update

[Rachel Dagner]

My cat Tucker was throwing up his food. We went to the vet and got an X-ray 
which showed a mass in his chest. I brought him home with steroids but he still 
couldn't keep food down probably the mass was restricting the  food from 
passing through since he was just regurgitating it right back up. Then he 
totally quit wanting to eat. Went to the vet and got high calorie emergency 
food and a syringe , watched a video on how to do it on YouTube. I was syringe 
feeding him for several days, I was doing some research and saw a lot of great 
reviews on Life Gold I had it sent over night from Amazon. I got it yesterday 
and gave him his two doses. Today he is eating on his own and eating quite a 
bit of the emergency food and even his dry food that I crunched up small. No 
regurgitation after all day of eating. I am only giving him a small amount each 
hour of so as not to upset his stomach, or overwhelm him. Maybe you can try 
syringe feeding and/or the liquid gold. I hope it is not lymphoma
 , I cried for three days straight after the X-ray. I am getting vitality 
science cat cancer kit, I am not going to put him through chemo. I hope to 
extend his time and his quality of life. He is also more perky and acting like 
himself again after just one day on Life Gold. I pray it continues!

[Felvtalk] Brock update

[Marsha]

My sweet FeLV+ boy Brock has taken a bad turn.  He has been doing really 
great, and only a week and a half ago celebrated his 1 year anniversary 
of being diagnosed with Restrictive Cardiomyopathy and Congestive Heart 
Failure.  Only 20% of cats with that diagnosis make it to the one year 
mark.  Brock is on 5 heart meds and 2 supplements, and has been doing 
great.  About 2 weeks ago, his appetite seemed to be a little off.  
Sometimes he would eat all his food, sometimes not.  He occasionally 
catches a mouse that gets into the garage, so I wondered if he was full 
when I brought his dinner. This past Saturday, he was really fussy about 
taking his pills.  He has always been really good about eating his pill 
pockets, no hassle for me, no dropping them into his mouth.  Now he is 
balking at taking them even after I dip them in wet food (and they are 
already in pill pockets).  I coax and coax, and have had to manually 
pill him a few times.  He will eat 4 and leave 1, then I have to give 
that one manually.  Or eat 2, and I have to give him 1.  Now he wants 
baby food, but only eats some of it, then more later.  He gets his 
supplements mixed with his food, 1 of which is potassium, so he needs to 
eat his food to get it.


He had a blood panel done yesterday and a physical exam.  The vet 
confirmed the enlarged lymph nodes I felt in his neck, and said there 
were enlarged nodes in the back leg area also.  Brock's PCV is only 18%, 
meaning he is anemic.  It is non-regenerative.  A needle aspiration was 
done on a lymph node, and the cytology should be back tomorrow.  My 
biggest fear is lymphoma, and it's going to tear through like a wildfire.

Hi Jane

I am going to leave all the details for Ardy to report, but I can indicate that 
Tigger is definitely responding well to the Winstrol so far. I don't want to 
put words in her mouth, so I will leave the rest for Ardy to speak about when 
she has a moment. (As we all know, it is almost a full-time job looking after 
one of our sick babies!).

Hi Ardy,

I have not been receiving emails since March.  How has the winstrol been 
working for your cat?
