A 5-year-old, spayed, female husky-Labrador retriever cross was diagnosed with primary hypoadrenocorticism, an uncommon endocrine disorder caused by a deficiency of glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid hormones. Subtle clinical signs and previous treatment with exogenous glucocorticoid drugs required an adrenocorticotropic hormone stimulation test to confirm the diagnosis.
一只5岁已绝育的雌性哈士奇-拉布拉多犬杂交犬被诊断患有原发性肾上腺皮质功能减退症,这是一种由糖皮质激素和盐皮质激素缺乏引起的罕见内分泌疾病。由于临床症状不明显且此前使用过外源性糖皮质激素药物,因此需要进行促肾上腺皮质激素刺激试验来确诊。
