Re: Emma - New Member Post
The pre-Vetoryl test may not be optimal for Emma after all. It is not recommended for stressed dogs, dogs who are not well, or aggressive dogs as these things can impact the cortisol level naturally. So you want to talk to her vet about which test would be best for Emma since she does get so stressed at the vets. Sadly the ACTH is also impacted by stressed dogs. Will they let you take her in and out of the clinic between draws? That will sometimes help the pup calm down a bit. We even had one member whose vet came out to her car and did the draws because her baby got so very upset just walking in the door. Some things to think about.
