Normal dogs generally have post stimulation cortisol levels > 10 ug/dl. Post stimulation levels < 2 ug/dl is considered diagnostic and most Addison's patients are < 1 ug/dl. The ACTH stimulation test does not distinguish between primary and secondary hypoadrenocorticism, or adrenocortical destruction caused by mitotane overdose.
However, across the spectrum of dosage of amoxicillin-clavulanate combination, the dose of clavulanate is constant at 125 mg, whereas the dose of amoxicillin varies at 250 mg, 500 mg and 875 mg. Thus the use of low-dose amoxicillin-clavulanate in combination with meropenem may be used in part of a treatment regimen for drug-resistant TB and ...

[ 4 ] Signs of ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone secretion that accompany the rapidly progressing physical changes are high plasma levels of adrenocorticotropic hormones and cortisol alongside hypokalaemia .
