Thank you Sharlene,
It helps to talk it out. It was the week of October 15th, I cut her down to 30/10 for five days, after what I thought was a mini seizure, I still have no idea what it was, but she sure looked like she was going there again tonight.
When in doubt, withhold the pill and if was something else bothering her, i guess no harm done.
Absolutely no harm to withhold and better to be safe anyway.
So, do you remember how she did on the 30/10 previously, when you she had that episode?
Wouldn't hurt to go there again.

I'm sorry I can't be helpful, but I'm right here by your side....or on your shoulder.:)
Love,

i just got her blood work emailed to me everything is normal except her cholesteral, which was 417 high normal 300. Even her GGT is normal, everything listed is N ALKP is NORMAL she has a stinking mass on her liver and it is all normal?
NORMAL:confused::confused::confused:
I feel like I am in the twilight zone:eek::eek: Is it me? The vet thinks I am nuts.
No I don't think it is is you at all. I think you know Zoe and you have always known when something is wrong, even before there was medical confirmation of it.
So, in this case, if her cortisol is low and it is bothering her, or if it is something else, you can tell by the way she acts. Sometimes, diagnostic issues actually show up later, after you feel bad and then you think to yourself, oh okay, so this Is why I felt like crap all that time.
I just think that you feel it and know it because you know her so well. I think that is the case with all of us really.
Hang in there. Take a step back and look at her, see her, feel her, do you still feel something is off? If so, then proceed with that instinct.
hugs,

You are not nuts Addy. I am a little nuts, but you are not nuts!:D if you say that something is not right with Zoe, that is a fact that cannot be disputed. You just don't happen to know what it is yet, so the investigation continues. You'll find it. I am sure of it.;) xxxxx
whatever was bothering her last night, she is better this morning.
I wanted to make a birthday card for hubby last night from an old photo of the Paris rooftops and Eiffel tower we took years ago.
Took me longer than I thought it would as I wanted special dreamy effects on it. Took my mind of my girl for a bit.
I swear between Zoe and my Mom- I sure get to be investigative caregiver:rolleyes: T:rolleyes:hank goodness they dont do it at the exact same time;)
Addy:
Sometime when you are least likely to be thinking about it you will get an epiphany and the light will come on. Just like Tipper and I with the lentils. I am very confident you will solve this mystery you are noticing with Zoe. It is a shame there are so many things involved with this disease. Sometimes you think you are going to go crazy trying to figure it all out. I will say a special prayer that you solve whatever is off with your baby. Blessings

Thank you Patti, I know you have had to do a lot of solving as well:)
Patti- when Tipper's pre was too low what were her pre and post and her dose and where is she now as far as dose and stim numbers?
Addy:
When Tipper went low she was on 30mg one time a day her numbers on 8/8/13 were pre-0.7 post-3.0 her last ACTH on 10/17/13 she was on 25mg- 20 Vetoryl morning 5 trilo evening her pre number was 1.5 and the post jumped to 8.3. She is now on 20ma vetoryl morning and 7mg trilo evening. I somehow feel her number is not right as she is drinking a lot and moving about the bed at nite. I am not sure if it is the new diet and she is hungry or the cortisol. I plan to test her in mid to late December as she has hasd way too many ACTH's and it is wearing on her nerves. Unless she continue to exhibit uncontrolled symptoms then it will be sooner. Hope some or any of this helps. Blessings
