The thyroid profile came back indicating a thyroid condition and they started her on thyroid medicine which didn't improve anything so I took her to a dermatologist who thought it was Cushing's. They did the ACTH stim test and it showed Cushing's then they did an ultrasound to see if her adrenal glands were enlarged and they were normal so they started treatment. So it was over 6 months to get her diagnosed. |
wow that is so sad poor baby - so glad they figured it out
