IGF-1 test, where?

Hello po, baka alam niyo po saan may IGF-1 test na mura in Metro Manila? I’m planning kasi to stack my Tirzepatide with 5-Amino-1MQ and/or Tesamorelin or CJC No DAC + Ipa to optimize my body recomposition. The latter two peptides kasi are GH-pathway peptides and gusto ko ma-track how it will impact my IGF-1 when I start this stack.

I already did my baseline screening prior to starting Tirzepatide pero hindi pala kasali doon ‘yung IGF-1 and I can’t find a clinic or lab that offers it at an affordable price. The cheapest I could find is ₱3200.

Thank you!

Normal ba itong vet costs sa Manila or overcharged for babesia & ehrlichia?

Hi guys. Seeking a quick sanity check from fellow pet parents here.

Last June 13, we rushed our dog Ethan to an emergency clinic in Sampaloc due to a sudden, severe nosebleed. She tested positive for both Ehrlichia and Babesia.

Medyo na-overwhelm kami sa total costs all at once, so we want to ask if standard ba itong rates:

- Initial ER Visit & Tests: ₱6,750 (Includes PF, 4-Way Rapid Test, CBC + Blood Chem bundle, anti-bleeding & steroid shots)

- Take-home Meds: ₱4,455 (Doxycycline, Metronidazole, Thrombo Pro, Livotine, Emerplex, Dextrose powder)

- Imidocarb Injection (scheduled in 2 weeks): ₱2,000

Total Expected Cost: Around ₱13,205

Current state: Her platelets are critically low at 19 (normal is 211-612), highly anemic (RBC 3.35), and severely dehydrated (High BUN but normal Creatinine and Liver indicators). The vet wants her on strict home rest and scheduled another CBC retest this coming June 20 (after just 7 days).

Our questions:

  1. Standard ba ang ₱2.5k for a 4-way test and ₱2.2k for a CBC/Chem bundle sa Manila clinics?

  2. Normal ba na kailangan mag-retest agad after 7 days? Medyo mabigat sa bulsa kung linggo-linggo ang lab tests, pero gagawin naman if talagang necessary.

  3. Any survival tips for a critical 19k platelet count? Sobrang natatakot kami na mag-bleed ulit ang ilong niya habang nagrerecover.

Thank you so much! (Attaching photos of receipts and lab results for reference).
