CaliforniaGreys Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 (edited) My vet called me early this morning with Misty's ACTH results. The good news is that her Cortisol level is just about right where it needs to be. He wants to continue with the 5 days on Lysodren for another 4 weeks and re-test again to see if we'll be able to lower her dosage. We may or may not be able to. But, what really has me worried is she has lost another 5 pounds in 4 weeks. This is not good. Her weight when we initially tested for Cushings was 58 lbs and she is now down to 46 lbs. Something is really not right. There's so much going on here in H&M but if you can any extra prayers, we should would appreciate it. How long do I let this go on? I always thought I would have that answer but now I'm not so sure Thank you!

carronstar Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Absolutely, lots of prayers and good thoughts. Pretty Misty, keep the weight on for your mama. If you are not sure how, come and observe me, I seem to have no problem at all keeping weight on. Stop making like the Palm Springs ladies with their sexy walks, amble, it burns fewer calories. Better yet, find a lounge chair and lounge. That burns no calories at all!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliforniaGreys Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 I always have extra prayers!! What did you vet say about the weight loss? When I talked to him Hilda, I don't think he realized that another 5 pounds is gone, so naturally I have a call back into him. All he said was if she gets any lighter we start to worry. I can't help wondering just how long do I let this go on? She has a big appetite and I'm feeding her something every 2 hours Missing my little Misty who took a huge piece of my heart with her on 5/2/09, and Ekko, on 6/28/12 For the sick, the lost, and the homeless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
