Feasibility and usefulness of in-hospital and at-home salivary sampling in healthy dogs and trilostane-treated dogs with Cushing’s syndrome: a prospective observational study
Saliva sampling remains challenging in CS dogs. This method needs further refinement before stress-free, at-home salivary cortisol evaluation surpasses current monitoring techniques, such as prepill serum cortisol measurement. Registry: animex-ch, TRN: ZH076/19 and ZH153/22, Registration dates: 27 Juli 2019 and 22 September 2022.
