If Holly is not improving clinically, she might need to be tested again (ACTH stimulation test) to make sure the dose of Vetoryl is the correct one for her. Usually the blood test has to be done 10-14 days after the treatment has started, 4 to 6 hrs after Vetoryl administration. Please post again on the forum if you would like to discuss it further. I hope my answer was helpful.
