I don't know Marianne. I mentioned the study that shows almost all dogs seem to exhibit high estriadol that Lori posted. She said that you have to have 2 or more elevated now for them to look at atypical.

I fully expect her cortisol to be high, it was last time, not sure why it wouldn't be this time. The liver is larger, the adrenals are larger.

I don't know what it is that she is looking for either .

I guess the big mystery is that she shows no symptoms of cushings and that the IMS said while one might come back negative on an LDDS, if it is a false negative, that you wouldn't expect all of them to. (although she mentions it as a possibility on the report). I think they might be puzzled too.

I haven't ever pursued treatment because of the lack of symptoms. I don't know if I should have, if I should now, or what. I guess I hope that the UTenn report will round out what is going on inside of molly's body. Maybe it is a matter of which hormones are high and how high. I really just don't know.
