Arco Shorty – DEVELOPMENT TEST
Follow Up
Please review Arco’s follow up
Arco’s castration surgery was postponed until his systemic condition had been stabilized. After a short hospitalization for fluid therapy, Arco’s creatinine stabilized at 4.9 mg/dL but his appetite was improved. At discharge, Arco’s blood pressure was improved at 178/102 (127) mmHg. Arco’s target systolic blood pressure is approximately 140 mmHg. An increase in the amlodipine dose may be needed if systolic blood pressure remains ≥ 160 mmHg 5-7 days post-initiation of antihypertensive therapy.
