so i finally got to speak to our regular vet this afternoon... she informed me that the acth result showed zowi to have high levels of estrodial. her resting cortisol was low and after acth stim it was normal. this makes her still unsure what to do as far as treatment options. she also said that the u of tenn results did not have the normal / abnormal reading after each hormone it measures, but it normally does. there are also no notes indicated in a box at the bottom where they suggest treatment. she is calling u of tenn endocrinology department monday morning to find out more information, and she said that it takes a day or so for them to get back to her.
waiting is so hard. next time i bring her in to the dr, i will be obtaining copies of all of her labs from this past year including acth. the yahoo group for cushing's will probably have alot of helpful info once i have her labs on hand. i really wish that i could be doing more for zowi right now, she's my little princess.
please continue prayers and keep zowi in your thoughts! thanks |
