When is acth test numbers too high in dogs?

In dogs, elevated ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) levels typically indicate conditions such as Cushing's disease (hyperadrenocorticism) or adrenal tumors.

It's important to interpret these results alongside clinical signs and additional diagnostic tests to confirm any diagnosis. Always consult a veterinarian for proper evaluation and interpretation of ACTH test results.
