Ok I’m not putting him down. He’s a good dog, still has years left. It’s the 100+ degrees everyday with the heat index here, I’m sure thats not helping.
He’s not on any post-operation medications.
I’ve been to 3 vets. They all say the same thing. Old big dog, lost his nuts, etc. Not willing to help.

I disagree with putting him down. How do any of you who have prescribed this KNOW that his dog is suffering or miserable? His behavior has changed, but does this mean he’s no longer capable of enjoying his master’s companionship, and vice-versa? [/quote]
EXACTLY. He still does follows commands, does tricks, hangs out while I work outside, etc.

How heavy is your dog?
100-200mg/wk of testosterone for a 200lbs man is about the ‘right’ dose for a human, so you can work it out from there.
You can titrate the dose according to behaviour.
Winstrol will likely cause the same issues as it does in humans; poor blood lipids and negative impact on liver enzymes. But then you don’t need to inject. My dog is an absolute diamond when it comes to injects (adequan and alflutops) but yours may not be…

He’s 93-95 lbs.
Ok, I am researching doses.
I wouldn’t say he is a ‘diamond’ about injects. Where are you doing them? At the vet I always see in the neck fat area.
Also, I know this isn’t the place but I have to actually find a good source. I don’t want to open that can of worms in this thread, but I’d have to figure that out.
I was suprised at the # of positive responses… thanks guys.
