Re: Deedee dogs hormones

retest in a few months time.

T4 range from 15.0 – 40.0
TSH                0.01 – 0.60

or so it says here.                 

[kizkiznobite]

what i have given is what i was taught for average for gunner types…but memory is shite…will go and fight my way to text books in office…am sure the healthy TSH in labs is 0.41 tho

[deebee]

no doubt they saw that it was within the normal range.

she commented on the low cortisol though to say that it couldnt be a pituritry problem

[*Nat*]

This may sound daft but are thyroid ranges different from boys and girls  ???

[deebee]

i did spell it out to them why they were testing and also again that it was for a male when they came back, but what can i do if i dont know the normal levels?

Also this has been done to soon any residue of drugs that he has been on can give a false reading on the T4

he wasnt on any drugs at the time.

i was groping in the dark when all this came to a head. its done now, nothing i can do about it.

between a rock and a hard place, thats why i hesitated putting the results up.

Glad you put them up by doing that you would be suprised how many people will read this.
A GA is a drug it can send blood results haywire he would also of had a pre med and a shot of painkiller before he came round add to that the stress and shock factor.
Better to retest him after three mths and see if the results are the same preferably  with Jean as she’s the best and it’s cheaper

i think we may be getting our wires crossed  😀

these are the results of blood taken in jan, and he was castrated in february.

he will be tested again in a few months.

deebee – I’m finding this mega interesting – and it must be horrid for you to go through, but certainly is very educational for everyone else reading it.  I suppose it goes some way to explain why dogs act “weird” with other dogs some of the time with no rational explanation.

And if his results are haywire, then that is no fault of yours!  Don’t feel like you’ll be judged for it!

Good luck for the next set of results…

i was just going to let you all know that ive booked max in for blood test today.  then saw this. oh well. maybe that by sending it to the original labs, the results will be comparable to the original readings . iyswim.

[kizkiznobite]

fingers and paws crossed that all is well…
hugs to the daft one

[deebee]

vet just called, the results.

eostrogen  under 40

testosterone  under 0.3

cortisol up abit but it was low to begin with

have definitely seen the difference with other dogs, but he is also less in their faces. jumps up and down in front of them now instead of on them.
greets to the face, not the backside.

its probably a combination of more normal hormone levels and the amount of dogs ive got him to greet/play with.

opinions/comments/questions welcome  🙂

[kizkiznobite]

the female hormone is the calmer…great news ….now his head is clear of all that sex stuff and his scent has changed so other dogs respond better he can do some serious learning  🙂

hugs to the big daft dog
