Joan--just a quick question. Are you giving Lena the 30 mg all together or are you still dosing twice a day? If twice a day, it is recommended that the higher dose be given in the morning so that the ACTH tests will reflect the increase.

My Abbie also is on medication for high blood pressure (amlodipine and telmisartan). I am able to get the amlodipine free at a grocery store pharmacy so you might check on that where you are. Also, when my vet checks Abbie's blood pressure, I leave her at the vet for a while. A tech sits quietly with her and takes six different readings over an hour. The lowest and highest readings are thrown out and then the remaining readings are averaged.
