In this case it probably would be best to add a second measure, but Caity is
right that you should have the electrolytes checked first. I also believe
if you check the archives you can find actual dosing guidelines. I have one
fettet that we treated with percortin twice and kept her on pred and she has
not required another injection. But you can never tell but looking for
signs can help. Uncontrolled Addison's disease can cause renal failure. If
you can't find the info, let me know and I can try to look up exact doses, I
have not used florinef at all. Good Luck.
