At a pharmacological level, it manages cortisol production by inhibiting the 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase enzyme system. Commonly observed effects include behavioral shifts such as lethargy, weakness or localized digestive changes like vomiting. Because it may influence adrenal function, your veterinarian will perform regular blood work (ACTH stimulation tests) to monitor your pet’s cortisol levels. Owners should monitor for significant changes in appetite or energy and contact their veterinarian promptly with any concerns.
