Most common signs were reduced general condition and lethargy, anorexia, dehydration, obstipation, weakness, weight loss, and hypothermia. Adrenal glands on ultrasonography were judged small in 6. Eight cats could be followed for 14 to 70\u2009months (median: 28). Two were started on DOCP doses \u22652.2\u00a0mg\/kg (2.2; 2.5) and 6\u00a0&amp;lt;\u20092.2\u00a0mg\/kg (1.5-2.0\u00a0mg\/kg, median 1.8) q28\u2009days. Both high-dose cats and 4 low-dose cats needed a dose increase. Desoxycorticosterone pivalate and prednisolone doses at the end of the follow-up period were 1.3 to 3.0\u00a0mg\/kg (median: 2.3) and 0.08 to 0.5\u00a0mg\/kg\/day (median: 0.3), respectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions and Clinical Importance<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Desoxycorticosterone pivalate and prednisolone requirements in cats were higher than what is currently used in dogs; thus, a DOCP starting dose of 2.2\u00a0mg\/kg q28\u2009days and a prednisolone maintenance dose of 0.3\u00a0mg\/kg\/day titrated to the individual need seems warranted. Small adrenal glands (width\u2009&amp;lt;\u20092.7\u2009mm) on ultrasonography in a cat suspected of hypoadrenocorticism can be suggestive of the disease. The apparent predilection of British Shorthaired cats for PH should be further evaluated.<\/jats:p>\n
