Here's why:
* Individual variation: Normal ACTH test ranges can vary depending on the dog's age, breed, and overall health. A veterinarian will be able to interpret the results in the context of your dog's specific situation.
* Underlying causes: High ACTH levels can indicate various conditions, including Cushing's disease, adrenal tumors, and other hormonal imbalances. A veterinarian can determine the underlying cause and recommend the appropriate treatment.
If you suspect your dog may have a hormonal problem, please schedule an appointment with your veterinarian immediately. They can perform the necessary tests and provide personalized recommendations for your furry friend.
