Typical or Atypical is more suspected if she has some of the other clinical signs/signalment present, like what I mentioned previously, and/or: pot belly, muscle wasting in legs, face/head, ear infections, depression. Can also show aggression due to increased cortisol in system.
so how much are the cost of testing if she wants to rule this out as cheap as possible by that urine catch?

i think thyroid testing i paid $70 for all 6 panels and blood work is usually a little over 100

LJ how much was the punch biopsy as i think you did that on yours?
