The effect of postprandial exercise on mean blood glucose concentrations following high and maintenance carbohydrate content meals in healthy dogs.

Objectives: To compare the effect of 15 min of exercise 30 min post-meal on mean blood glucose concentrations in 5 well-conditioned versus 5 over-conditioned dogs. To compare the effect of exercise on glycemic control in dogs eating their maintenance diet as compared to a high carbohydrate meal.

Animals: Ten healthy staff or student owned dogs, five well- and five over-conditioned.

Evaluation of baseline cortisol concentration to monitor efficacy of twice-daily administration of trilostane to dogs with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism: 22 cases (2008-2012).

Objective: To evaluate use of cortisol concentration prior to ACTH stimulation (baseline) to monitor efficacy of twice-daily administration of trilostane to dogs with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism (PDH).

Design: Retrospective case series.

Animals: 22 dogs with PDH.

Effect of dexamethasone or synthetic ACTH administration on endogenous ACTH concentrations in healthy dogs.

Objective: To determine the effects of dexamethasone or synthetic ACTH administration on endogenous ACTH concentrations in healthy dogs.

Animals: 10 healthy neutered dogs.

Procedures: Each dog received dexamethasone (0.
