Cortisol test

Diagnostic Applications

You don't have to reschedule to assess adrenal function.

snap deviceYou can detect canine Cushing's syndrome and Addison's disease with the IDEXX SNAP® Cortisol Test. And, because it is fully quantitative, you can continuously monitor treatment and evaluate your patients' therapeutic responses.

The course of Cushing's and its clinical signs progress slowly. Pet owners typically report behaviors/symptoms typical of Cushing's for six years prior to seeking veterinary assistance because the signs are attributed to normal aging rather than signs of disease. Addison's disease once thought to be rare, is now suspected to be a more common canine endocrinopathy.
