I got the test for my baby and was so hoping that was what the problem was but unfortunately it was not. I am now considering Atopica which I am very nervous about, but I think at this point I do not have any other choice. I just thought I would try and help you out, because I hate to hear about all these poor babies suffering. Hope this helps, Good luck! Lexi's Mom

Dee Dee had thyroid test but i heard the best thyroid test is to have vet send blood to jean dodds as she runs an extensive thyroid panel - i thought about with dd but her thyroid was fine - i wish there was a solution but now she is on atopica and i hate doing the pills too
