  1. Re: Max test results help

    Our boy is home. We received his ashes and his paw imprint today. I feel comfort knowing he's home, but pain as well.

    I love the idea of a letter. When I am ready I will do that...maybe for...
  2. Re: Max test results help

    I love that! The candle site is great! I also didn’t realize that there was a grief and loss forum, and I will definitely check it out… Thank you so much.
  3. Re: Max test results help

    Just hopping on to wish all you pet and human moms a Happy Mother's Day.

    Whew, I did not know grief could produce an array of emotions. I have laughed, cried, felt anger, guilt...all in the...

    Thank you, Lori!
  6. Re: Max test results help

    Joan I am so thankful my post gave you a little closure. I am determined to use Max's story and his life as a legacy and do some good things...I do not know what yet, but I have time to figure that...
  7. Re: Max test results help

    Marianne,
    Your words are exactly what I needed! I cannot thank you enough. I plan to stick around on the boards to offer help, encouragement, and a listening ear for others. I am thankful Max did...
  8. Re: Max test results help — Sweet Max has passed

    Thank you so much! That is absolutely beautiful and much needed. I am filled with such such sorrow, but great love and memories.
  9. Re: Max test results help

    I don't even want to write this. Max has passed. We lovingly let him go. He had a pulmonary embolism and we knew it was time to stop treating. We knew he would develop other things at his age and...
  10. Re: Max test results help

    Thanks to you both! I will continue to share as we go in hope that Max's story will help others as well!
  11. Re: Max test results help

    Thank you so much, Leslie!
    There are a few sites and studies I have read about the pre-pill testing...mostly vet hospital or endocrinology articles. ...
  12. Re: Max test results help

    Good morning. Let me begin with how our Internist monitors cortisol levels in treated dogs. She has found a prepill blood draw to be more accurate that repeating an ACTH test. I am fine with that...
  13. Re: Max test results help

    Is it ok to pop the Vetoryl out of the blister packs to fill his medicine containers for the week or should they stay sealed until ready to use?
  14. Re: Max test results help

    Perhaps different ways to read have been researched over the years and studies have been found that results can vary? I don't know, but very interesting to me. Here's something else I found...IDEXX...
  15. Re: Max test results help

    No...no!!! We are birds of a feather!!! I too look at things in depth and question all aspects. I know in my heart if there is any sort of tumor anywhere (for all we know he could have something...
  16. Re: Max test results help

    I have read that article. Lots of information! I appreciate you all taking the time to walk me through this.

    And, yep I could've copied wrong...I can't figure out how to insert an image with...
  17. Re: Max test results help

    Thank you so much!
    I do believe some stress could be at play with his test. He stayed at the vet all day. After his baseline draw he REFUSED to get in the car. He kept pulling back and would...
  18. Re: Max test results help

    Our Vet tech promptly sent over results this morning!

    Baseline 68 nmol/L
    4 hour 72 nmol/L
    8 hour 114 nmol/l
  19. Re: Max test results help

    I will absolutely continue to update. Now that we are on the road to treating Cushings I know I will have many more questions. I went ahead and submitted an order to Chewy, but realized that Costco...
  20. Re: Max test results help

    Our vet responded this morning. I appreciate her taking a minute on her time off to respond. Here was her reply. I also asked if she could send me his results for my records. I am very happy...
  21. Re: Max test results help

    Just got an email from the vet. She said his results are still consistent with Cushings. She did not send me the actual results, but emailed me just to touch base. She is not in the clinic today,...
  22. Re: Max test results help

    Just dropping in to ask for some good vibes for tomorrow. Max will be having his LDDS test. She said we could take him home in between each blood draw to keep him happy.

    She also said that a...
  23. Poll: Re: What do you pay for an ACTH stimulation test? U.S. Dollars

    Thought it might be interesting to see how prices change over time.
    Cortrosyn injection was $219
    Test was $190
  24. Re: Max test results help

    Ohhhhh,Thank you!!! Yes, he is neutered! Very interesting!
  25. Re: Max test results help

    Yes, I did bring up that concern initially with my home vet. Our old internist agreed that he could have been stressed. I will discuss that possibility of running a new one. I realized after I put...
