Re: Apollo-Trilostane (Vetoryl)
Hi Sonja,
I, too, was shocked at his thyroid values. Hypothyroidism would explain much of what you are seeing with Apollo but it also seems odd to me that it dropped so suddenly. Do you have his thyroid tests going back a bit? That might establish a pattern.
The first attempt I made at home cooking for Squirt was a disaster. The diet included quite a bit of cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and kale. After being on this diet for a short time, she tested as hypothyroid. But getting her off that diet and all those cruciferous veggies put her levels right back to normal. So, from experience I know external factors can affect the thyroid. Have you changed anything in his diet lately?
Otherwise, his blood work looks pretty good to me but hopefully Debbie will be along to give us an expert reading.
Hang in there!
Hugs,
Leslie and the gang
PS. I also agree with Glynda in that the meds for hypothyroidism are quite benign and easy on them.
