Hi Pat, Thanks for adding the rads. There is no bony column rotation but there is a slight bit of capsular rotation - which is a trim issue due to her much-too-long toes. Heels are underrun as well. T

Hi Jennifer, Need Dr. Kellon to chime in on this one. Do you have a copy of the actual blood work results? If so, would you please upload it to your case history folder. If not, could you get a copy f

Hi Tamara, You are correct that those blood test results are not good as the insulin is over 200uIU/ml and the ACTH is 134pg/ml. He is definitely positive for both PPID and IR. No point in redoing the

Hi Beth, Not Kirsten here but that <2mg was referencing additional selenium, not manganese.

Thoughts are with you and Sonseeahray, Allison. Hope everything works out well.
