Is anyone using steroids on there dog?

I take it you're talking about anabolic steroids? That's completely different matter than the more commonly used steroids such as dexamethasone or prednisone - as a matter of fact, most clinics don't even keep them around. In an older animal that is (in general) in good health but is suffering from severe muscle wasting or cachexia, anabolic steroids can help to put on weight and some muscle but should only be used in cases of last resort (a dog that is unable to get to his feet without help, for example).

thanks syz, thats pretty much where hes at so considering his otherwise good health i feel comfortable in trying it.
