SUMMY'S BLOOD TESTS
Hey everypupper, it's me...the Prinster!
Mom had a phone call from the doggy doctor this morning - he had Sum's blood test results. Her Thyroxine (TT4) levels are quite low. He told Mom the normal range is 20-60 and Sum's were only 7. He said that this test on it's own is not very conclusive (what does that mean everypuppy?) as her levels will change throughout the course of the day, for example if he ran the test again it could come out at 18-19.
He gave Mom two choices - to try my big sis on a 3 month trial of the synthetic thyroid meds or to run another test, for TSH levels, which combined with the TT4 test is probably around 90% accurate. If the TSH test comes back really high that means Summy has an underactive thyroid (again, what does that mean everypuppy?). The lab only runs the TSH tests on a Monday morning so Mom told him to get the lab to do the test. He'll get back to us in the next couple of days.
Just thought I'd keep you up to date. Mom's still not sure if she should put Sum on the meds the vet gives or if she should try a natural supplement. What do you puppies and your bipeds think?

Here's a photo of Sum....chillin out like she always does. She used to annoy me all the time and run around like a crazy siberian but these days she doesn't have much energy so just rests lots. Sometimes she chases me but not for very long and not like she used to. Mom says that once we get her thyroid problem sorted she'll go back to the old Sum....the annoying one. I miss my annoying big sis.
Here's a couple of photos my me and Sum...she always looks happy when she's cuddling up to me:)
Just look at the grin on her face! I actually think she might have been having siberrific dreams about Zim of the A04.....Sum's got the hots for you Zimmie!!!
We's bestest friends:)

SUMMER'S TRIP TO THE VET
It's Summer's Mom here just wanting to tell you about Sum's visit to the vet.
She went to the vet this morning to get some bloods done to see what her thyroid levels are as I suspect she has an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism). She's showing lots of the symptoms - weight increase, lethargy, constantly losing her coat/thinning & lack of undercoat, dry skin, a bit irritable at times, skin discolouration, obsession with food. They are testing her T4 levels, we should have the results back in the next week.
Do any of you have experience with hypothyroidism? I am wondering if testing the T4 levels is enough to make an accurate diagnosis? Also I have done some internet research and there are some natural remedies - PetAlive Thyro-Pet, Native Remedies Thyroid Assist etc. These aren't available in New Zealand but I am wondering how effective they are and if it would be worth me importing some? The other option is one of the synthetic thyroid medications that vets prescribe, which they are on for the rest of their lives.
If anyone has experience with thyroid problems and can make suggestions or help me I would really appreciate it.
Thank you
Aleeya, Sum & Prince
P.S. The needle was tiny.....Sum bum sure was exaggerating! She wasn't exaggerating though about not liking her little outing to see the doctor......she really showed her insecure/unconfident side!

I'VE GOT A BOO BOO!!!
Hi everypuppy, it's me Summer!
Mom took me & Princey to the animal doctor this morning. I thought Princey must have had a problem until the doctor started paying attention to me! He tried to roll me over but I wasn't having that so I fought back....took two people to get me onto my side, one had to pick up my back legs and the other my front legs. Not sure why he wanted to look at my belly.
Then came the worst part......he got out this thing that made a buzzy noise and shaved some of my bewootiful hair and then he got this bbiiiiigggggg thing that he stuck into the shaved part of my leg. It hurt so much and was about the same thickness as my leg.......I had to try with all my Siberian might not to cry doggy tears. All this red stuff came out of my leg and then the doctor squirted it into another thingee and put a sticky thing on it and wrote something.
Princey put his paws up on the doctors table that I was on a couple of times and made sure I was okay. He was sooooo lucky cause he didn't get that big sharp thing stuck into his leg.

Meaning Of Obsessed
Hi Everypuppy, it's me Summer reporting in on the advice we received from some of our friends on the meaning of 'obsessed'.
If you remember, our last post had what Dave of the A04 thought obsessed meant. He thought it was something that happens to your tooth and you have to go see a dentist - 'I have an obsessed tooth'. His brother Zimmie disagreed with him and said that you go to a dentist for an 'absessed tooth'.
Kelsey Ann from The Kapp Pack said we should 'trust Zimmie this time'.
Amber-Mae the Solid Gold Dancer said she thinks it might have something to do with tennis balls or maybe when you're 'fixated' on something.
Freda the DeltaBunny said she thought it was when you have 'meany demons in your heads'.
River from River's Blog said it had to do with ducks and birds. He also said that we were both very handsome...hmmmmm...my brother Prince is very handsome but I am purtty River, girls aren't handsome!!!
Kat from The Adventures of Two Huskies and their Cat said we should believe Dave cause he's smart. She said Zimmie was smart too but goofy like her brother Steve. She said she wouldn't trust him as much as he builds snow forts and that would be something Steve would do and he can't be trusted.
We're two really confused puppies - Prince and I decided we'd have to run a poll to see which one of our friends is right. Please take the poll to the right of our blog.
