I didn't see what happened but noticed he was having trouble sitting later and was favouring one of his hind legs. I took him to a 24hour clinic later that night because he got worse and couldn't put weight on both of his hind legs at all. The vet there referred me to the emergency clinic where I was told Rolo slipped a disc and the surgery would cost between 5000-6000 dollars. I saw the neurologist there the next morning to see what options I had because I can't afford the surgery.
Tumour markers are substances â usually proteins â in the blood that may indicate the presence of thyroid cancer. Tumour marker tests are used to check a personâs response to cancer treatment, but they can also be used to diagnose thyroid cancer.
Thyroid function test. A blood test measuring your hormone levels is the only accurate way to find out whether there's a problem. The test, called a thyroid function test, looks at levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and thyroxine (T4) in the blood.our GP may recommend that you have a repeat blood test every so often to see whether you eventually develop an underactive thyroid. Blood tests are also sometimes used for other measurements, such as checking the level of a hormone called triiodothyronine (T3).
