OMG how awful for that poor man! Aww that's a shame it is not the lovely Ian we knew, but good to hear he has a good reputation.
So the plan is to wait and see if symptoms come back and then retest? I hope Cairo does good for a long time to come!! :)
So do we. It's horrible being on the waiting game again though.
I am with you on that one, I can tolerate many things, but waiting is not one of them. I hope Cairo gets straightened out from all this. At least now you have some help from Dechra and the vet school. Hope you have a good walk with no rogue dogs running around to ruin it. Blessings

Checking in to see how Cairo is doing. Hope all is well with him and you.

Thank you so much for asking after him.
He seems to be fine - though I'm paranoid but hopeful.
He's back to being hungry - you can rustle a wrapper without him looking to see if you have something to eat but we gave him a bit extra for his dinner and he didn't eat it all so he's obviously not as hungry as we thought he was.
Peeing and drinking are OK.
He had a very slight panting session tonight on his walk - but then he was fine again.
To be honest, I'm not sure what to do. I don't know if we should leave well alone at the moment, or take him back for another stim test just to check how things are going.
How long as it been since the last one?
I honestly do not think that he has gone back to cushings yet, as he wouldn't leave food if that was the case. My molly will leave food in bowl that she grazes on all day long, she Might finish it at night, but no guarantee. However, she will bark at you till you give her, one dental treat and one veg treat every night. After which she is fine and that food is still in her bowl that she didn't Really want.
As long as everything is fine, then I don't think he is back to cushings. You are still giving the prednisone?

His last Stim Test was 18th April and his post stim numbers were 175nmol/l.
He's been off the prednisolone since 22nd April.
Sometimes it's hard to know if he's feel yuck or just being lazy - he's the least energetic staffy I know - doesn't jump, really doesn't run much.
If you feel like he is going low again, then take him in. You know, if he doesn't want to walk or eat, if he is scared to go outside of down the hill, etc. All the prior symptoms of when he went low.

I don't think (or hope) he'll go low again - I'm waiting on him going Cushy again - but maybe we'll be lucky and he won't. That would be just fantastic if he didn't. I can live in hope.
