Hi Wendy. Last night I thought I was going to have to increase Pepper's dose this morning, but I think he logged on during the night and read his condo!
Nancy - Have you taken Pepper in for his post SRT bloodwork yet? CSU told me every 3 months for the first year then every 6 months after that. HypoT was of the most concern.
Wendy - Pepper had bloodwork done in September. His thyroid was fine then. Did they tell you to keep testing for the rest of Neko's life? I asked the vet at CSU when she was giving me instructions and she told me to test for a year and if he hadn't developed low thyroid by then, he probably wouldn't. Did all the other acro cats get instructions to keep testing forever?
I had planned to test Neko every 6 months this year anyway just as a general wellness test, and I get the geri panel tests that include T4. They only told me to test every 3 months for the first year for hypoT. The every 6 months thing is more because she is diabetic. If she wasn't on insulin, I'd probably do every year as part of the wellness exam.
