[Katbrown2057]

We just had our first ACTH done for our 7 year old Miniature Pinscher, Ty. It cost $420. We were told we need to have another one done in two weeks.

Sorry I'm late to this thread. Just recently diagnosed with Diabetes and Cushings. We're in Florida and our vet charges 235.00 for the ACTH stimulation. It could be that fees vary according to what part of the U.S. you're in.

[Doggyw/Cushings]

Medical progress exam: $43
ACTH Stim Test $187
Lab Prep Fee $38
Cortrosyn injection $119
4 hour hospitalization $27

Total $414.

$195 for ACHT with GP

$200 for ACTH

I voted for the $200.00 range. This was purely the ACTH test and blood work associated with this. There was also an exam fee, and a fee for electrolytes which I think would go with most ACTH testing. This brought the test fee up to $312.00. This was internal medicine at a teaching hospital.

Confirmed Dx of Cushings on Feb 8, 2016


Vetoryl Rx 60mgs $254.00

Vet wanted her on 120mgs but we asked to start her on 1/2 the amount.

She started the meds on Feb 9th 2016


We dropped her off at 0800 and picked her up at 1730 hours. She was there all day for testing.

She has an appt on the 25 to check 2 week levels on the meds. Not sure what the cost of that will be.

TC's last ACTH stim, which was in January, was $250. The cost of the Cotrosyn had almost doubled since his test prior to that, which was in June of 2015. His tests the two years prior to that were $175.

We are in North Augusta, SC, and this was with my local veterinarian.
