Re: New here / Questions, please VAL

I have no idea how much cortisol is in the product he was taking. ANd be

not so quick to think I think the natural route is best, it is just good

to try first. In a child it has the best cahnce of actually working as

their bodies are not as poisoned as adults are. But that doe s not mean

it WILL work, but sure worth a try.

I treat my pets myself. I cannot afford all the testing necessary to

get a vet , IF I could find a vet that jnew what they were doing, which

I have not. I treat by behaviur, and do labs once a year on sex hormones

and thyroid. and my fatty cat glucose testing at home. The last vet that

tested his glucose told me it was normal at 560. " Scuse me! Normal for a

cat is the same as a human if not a tad lower.. 90's is normal; for

fasting. He said the stress of the vet visit raised it that much and I

did not believe him, I was right I now test him at home and we have kept

Diabetes at bay wiht proper and HIGH doses of natural thyroid. He gets 9

grains a day. And NOW his glucose really IS high normal around 105 ion

the mornings before he eats.

My one that is on Pred was difficult to adjust. But she gets the

typical high estrogen when her cortiosl is too low and luckily for me

NESTING behaviour! She will start dragging all my clothes under the bed

to make her " nest " and sleep on them whne her estrogen ins too high and

thus cortisol too low. On the proper dose of Pred not only does she not

tear her back open but the nesting behaviour stops as well and she

sleeps on top of the bed like a normal cat.
