New ACTH test results


Joy V
 

Hi group,

The vet came out on 06/23/22 to test Willie's ACTH once more before the rise is in full force.  I've uploaded the results & updated his case history, but just wanted to see what the experts think.  ACTH was 22 pg/mL (lab ref range 15-40 pg/mL).  His previous test in April ACTH was 26 pg/mL.  Is this number okay?  Or should I go ahead and raise his pergolide to 2mg?  

Thank you in advance!
Joy

That number is good but doesn't predict what it might be with the rise. If you have had fall laminitis issues I would increase it starting mid July.  Also be alert for crest changes, decreased movement, as we get closer.
