macoduck Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Does my iggy Charlie need to be fasting for his thyroid test today? He is not currently on any thyroid meds.

tbhounds Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) It's a good idea to fast (reduces lipemia) but, it's not absoulely necessary. Edited September 30, 2014 by tbhounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macoduck Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 Charlie fasted and wasn't happy about it. His only prior labs done in March showed an elevated ALT. Today it was normal. Thyroid is low ( .9) but that was only the TT4. Other thyroid test had to be sent out. He's gone from 16.6 lbs in May to 21 lbs. now. If it ain't the thyroid then it's his daddyman giving too many treats.

Houndtime Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Did they tell you to give him his meds at least three hours prior to the test?

macoduck Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 Did they tell you to give him his meds at least three hours prior to the test? He's not on any meds yet. We'll see what happens after the rest of the test comes in.

MP_the4pack Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 When Opal gets her thyroid tests done, its dependent completely on the timing of her thyroid meds. So since he's on no meds, he doesn't have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
