Basic Information
Anabolic steroids such as stanozolol are synthetic derivatives of the male hormone testosterone. Stanozolol has a pronounced anabolic effect with fewer masculinizing side effects than testosterone or some other synthetic anabolic steroids. Anabolic steroids are used in debilitated or weakened animals to stimulate appetite and increase weight gain, strength, and vigor. They should be used as a part of an overall program with other supportive and nutritional therapies. The effects of anabolic steroids usually last for several weeks.
Dogs and Cats
Stanozolol is used in dogs and cats to treat debilitation by improving appetite, increasing weight gain, energy levels and strength. Stanozolol may be prescribed for the treatment of various forms of chronic anemia although the results can be variable.
So, if I bring my sick, weak, starving dog into the vet...do you think they will send me home with a bunch of roids?
LOL, j/k...I wonder if anyone has tried that before.
