My tattoos were rarely itchy, either. My favorite carrier oils to use have been avocado oil, sweet almond oil, and emu oil. My favorite essential oils for my tattoo healing have been frankincense, lavender, helichrysum, and myrrh.
Further Tests. There are other tests used for the diagnosis of Cushingâs disease such as the dexamethasone suppression and corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) stimulation tests. However, these are not as reliable in distinguishing between the causes as IPSS. A doctor may want to do multiple tests to confirm the results.
High Dose Dexamethasone Suppression Test: Once a dog has been diagnosed as Cushingoid, this test can be used to differentiate between forms of Cushing's. Similar to the low dose dex test, a fasted dog has a baseline blood sample taken in the morning. The dog is then given a large dose of dexamethasone.igh cortisol in urine is suggestive of high cortisol in the bloodstream. Many conditions other than Cushing's disease can cause false positives, so this test is not considered diagnostic. Nonetheless, if the cortisol/creatinine ratio is okay, the dog is not likely to be Cushingoid, so this is a good screening test.
