The vet called me yesterday and told me that Ziggy's tests (for EMS and Cushing's) were both right at the boundary of normal and not, at the bottom of the reportable range. He didn't give me the figures - I wish he had and will call back next week to get them.
He suggested that we have the TRH test next, to see what else is going on, and then, if that one is also inconclusive, the glucose test. I've looked these up and I see the tests are legit, but it costs me nearly £100 every time he comes out to do a test, before the lab fees, and I feel a bit wary about repeated visits.
There are so many people here who know a lot about this - @carthorse , @Jessey and many more. Could anyone give me any guidance on these tests and what is best for me to do? If you need the detail of the results, just say, and I'll repost on Monday when I've spoken to the vets' office.
