Men! Anything for a home-cooked meal :D Glad the results didn't show up any nasties, Gill ;) Hope the test at the end of the month comes back normal :) Sending him hugs :D

Couldn't put it better myself Shirley :D
Just to add what a lucky boy he is, having such a caring Mummy :P
what about full fat goats milk? .

Hi Jo,
Thanks for the suggestion. He can't have cows milk but I'm not sure about goats milk - I will def get some to try him with it ;)
Would you consider feeding him a raw diet Gill [snapback]132399[/snapback]
I have considered it and it is something I would like to try but my only concern would be difficulty in obtaining bones. The only meats he can have are chicken & turkey, and he does enjoy chicken wings and thighs(at least I can get them in Tesco ;) ). Would that be sufficient for the bone part of the diet? He also enjoys the AMP frozen minced chicken that I get from Pets at Home. I don't know if the lack of variety would defeat the purpose of feeding raw or not???
Edited to add: woohoo - I've sussed the double quotes :D

You've got one up on me then, I've still not sussed it :rolleyes:
So glad the results are fine Gill ;)
Remember that if there is anything wrong with him, that the Free T4 could well be low anyway - its referred to as non thyroidal illness - or euthyroid syndrome.
How weird that the lab wrote tests unremarkable - they don't sound unremarkable to me - he did have an ACTH test didn't he ?

Yes, he had an ACTH stim test and that was ok. The post ACTH test result was quite a bit below the ref range but it had obviously risen enough to rule out Addisons.
The thyroid results came in and was all within normal range. Tomorrow, he will get a bile acids test, pre and post feeding which will determine true liver function. Poor boy will be resembling a pin cushion at this rate :rolleyes: And needless to say, nobody from the lab got back to us today :rolleyes:
