Thank you Rhondayln,Mary Beth, Marianne and Sonja,
I may shoot an email to Dr. Peterson as well. I will contact Dr. Allen next week once I see her poos are consistent again.
Zoe's cortisol was so high to start, higher than most of the other pups yet her symptoms were not as bad as some of the other pups. Her other hormones were high to start but then they came down on the melatonin and lignans.
Tentative plan- wait and cut back metronidazole, bump her 5mgs more SID, wait 30 days to stim and see where I am and discuss adding back in the melatonin and lignans after that and see what I get. The IMS covering for mine for 3 months came out of UTK so maybe she has a different take on all of this as well and won't be so paranoid of adding back in the melatonin and lignans as our current one is. I really never wanted to take her off them. We'll see where it all goes. Still getting used to her behavior not being able to hear. I know it probably does not seem like such a serious problem but it has been hard for me to see her trying to adjust with the hearing loss. I think Zoe and I both need to adjust to that right now.
I would of tried adding the 5mgs at night but don't think that may do anything for her since it is so low.
I'll see what Drs Allen and Peterson think.
