Signs Your Dog Is Having an Addisonian Crisis

Addisonian危機は、犬の未知のAddison病の結果です。あなたの犬がすぐに医学的な注意を払わなければ、彼女は多臓器不全で死ぬ可能性があります。アジソン病の最も難しい部分は、あなたのペットがそれを持っていることを知っていることです。兆候は微妙で、変化を見るためには注意深い犬の所有者が必要です。いったん診断されると、アジソン病は妥当な費用で容易に管理されます。あなたの犬がAddisonianの危機を抱えている可能性があるいくつかの伝説の兆候があります。
 
アジソン病とは何ですか?
 
アディソン病は、あなたの犬の副腎がもはやストレスに対処するために必要なホルモンを産生しなくなる遺伝的障害です。この病気は主に女性の犬に影響を与え、5歳になるまで症状を示さない。
 
あなたの犬のストレスのために長い散歩を取ると、家の新しい犬、人々が出入りし、環境の変化がすべてのトリガーです。通常、あなたの犬の副腎はストレスに対処するためにグルココルチコイドを排出します。グルココルチコイドに加えて、副腎もミネラルコルチコイドを放出して電解質のバランスをとる。これらのステロイドがストレスの間排泄されない場合、あなたの犬はそれを処理することができません、電解質は不均衡になり、あなたの犬の心臓と腎臓は機能しなくなります。結果は悲劇ですが、あなたのペットを安定させることができる緊急獣医にあなたの犬を急いで避けることができます。
 
危機の兆候
 
症状を特定するには、犬の行動を知る必要があります。獣医師でさえ、獣医が血液検査を受けることを知らない限り、アジソン病は診断するのが非常に難しい疾患であることを伝えます。まず、あなたの犬はおそらくより疲労感があります。あなたの犬が家の周りを歩くのが普通ならば、あなたは周りを歩いている間、彼女はおそらく止まり、そこに寝るでしょう。
 
次に、あなたの犬は食欲を失い、食欲不振の徴候を示します。彼女は食べようとするかもしれないが、食べるとすぐに彼女はそれを吐き出すだろう。下痢も問題です。下痢と嘔吐の間に、犬は危険に脱水されるようになります。
 
あなたの犬と寝る場合、別の顕著なサインは震えです。犬は寒いか病気かのように振る。彼女は暖かさのためにあなたの近くで眠ろうとするかもしれませんが、彼女は揺れて目を覚まします。
 
犬のオーナーを捨てるのは、犬が定期的に水を飲むということです。彼女は定期的に歩くことさえある。彼女が歩くとき、彼女は遠くに行きたいと思わず、座っているかもしれません。あなたの犬の行動は、活動にかかわらず、全体的な嗜眠になります。
 
これらの症状のいずれかがあなたの犬に存在する場合は、すぐに犬を獣医に連れて行くことが不可欠です。夜間なら、あなたの地域の救急獣医師を見つけてください。 Addisonの危機を経験している犬は急速に倒れるので、すぐに行動することが重要です。
 
アディソン病の治療
 
すぐに犬を獣医に連れて行くと、獣医は犬の体液、薬を与え、彼女を安定させます。どの程度致命的な状態にあるかに応じて、犬はナトリウムとカリウムの不均衡、心雑音および機能不全の腎臓を有する可能性がある。
 
あなたの犬が安定した後、あなたは通常、数日後に彼女の家を取ることができます。あなたの犬はPrednisoneとPercortenという2つの薬剤に依存します。あなたの犬はプレドニゾンを毎日服用します。用量はあなたの獣医によって決定されます。パーコルテンショットは毎月与えられます。 Percortenはより高価な治療薬ですが、約200ドルでボトルを買うことができ、獣医は毎回約10ドルの犬を飼います。 Percortenボトルは小さな犬にとって数ヶ月続くでしょう。プレドニゾンははるかに安いです。プレドニゾンボトルの料金は毎月約15ドルです。
 
小さな犬は毎日約1.5mgのプレドニゾンしか必要としません。しかし、あなたは犬のためのストレスの多い時間を予測するときにその投薬量を2倍にする必要があります。たとえば、犬を獣医に連れて行くか、彼女と一緒に旅行したり、新しい犬を紹介したり、訪問者を迎えたりする場合は、服用量を2倍にする必要があります。
 
アディソン病の治療を受けた犬の予後は非常に有望である。あなたが危機の兆候の間に獣医に犬を渡す限り、あなたの犬は回復します。あなたの犬を知ることは、それ以上のエピソードを識別するための鍵ですが、適切な投薬と治療で、あなたの犬は長く、幸せな生活を送るでしょう。

私の2歳のダックスフントは、この先週診断されました。病院がこの発見をした時点で(Ortho and Neuro Surgeonを通って行った)、彼女は危機に瀕していました。彼女はICUで3日間過ごし、安定した状態で帰宅しました。 16時間以内に、彼女は再び震え始め、背中の脚の制御を失っていました。私は彼女を病院に連れて行き、彼らは改善していたラボをチェックし、その日後に彼女を拾った。数時間家にいただけで、彼女のバックエンドは再び揺れ始め、彼女はうまく見えませんでした。私は何をすべきかわからない!彼女は5種類の薬の上にいて、私はすでに$ 5kを使いました。なぜ彼女は良くなっていないのですか?これには時間がかかります。私は次のステップがすべきであると全面的に迷っています。

こんにちはジュリー、私の犬はダックスフンドのミックスです。彼女は数ヶ月前にエピソードを持ち、ほとんど死亡した。彼女の正常な自己に戻るために私の犬は約1週間かかりました。彼女は最初のショットの後数日間非常にゆっくり歩いた。私の犬の獣医は、彼女の腎臓の数はまだ正常に戻っていないと言いますしかし、その出来事は彼女の腎臓に影響を与えた可能性があります。私はあなたの犬がすぐに良くなることを望む!

こんにちはジュリー、私はChiweenie、診断された4歳、彼は今5です。あなたの犬がaddisonの病気を持っている場合、theresは "申し訳ありません。それは不治の病ですが、管理可能です。私の子犬は、1日おきに5mgのプレドニゾロンを1日4回、25日ごとに0.4mgのペルコルテンを注射します。これは彼の人生の残りの部分になります。彼は危機に瀕したときに一週間ICUで過ごしました。 Addisonの病気を診断するためには、獣医は血液検査を行い、犬の電解質バランスをチェックする必要があります。彼女が5種類の薬を持っているなら、それは何のためですか?これが参考になることを願っています。あなたの犬が揺れるたびに、何かが間違っていると思うたびに、アディソンは絶対に嫌です。常に心配しています。しかし、あなたがあなたの犬を愛し、彼らに必要な助けを与えるならば、彼らは幸せな生活を送ってあなたを愛します。

I had a Chihuahua/ Jack Russell he was on 4 yrs old & stopped eating, barking,every thing but drinking. Then we went to bed & woke up and he could no longer walk or sit up. I took it to my vet. Who kept him over night and still didn't respond to the meds. She advised me that my dog was very sick and even if he was on all the proper meds he could still relapse. I seen how sick my dog was and as much as it killed me I had to put him to sleep. I cry & miss him every minute as he was my side kick. But I couldn't let him suffer. Even he knew how sick he was. I pray for you all and your furbabies. But please don't let them suffer. And this disease can run into a very expensive illness. Please put your animal ahead of your own feelings. They feel miserable too. Hugs to all.

Addison's is a sad disease and it's imperative that you tune into your animal friend. I have had the lovely opportunity of knowing a beautiful German Short-haired pointer who was diagnosed around 2 or 3 with Addison's. Her human parent passed away and their son, my BF, adopted her at 8 1/2 years old and she very quickly she slipped into a very grave Addisonian crisis episode. She survived and over the last 5 years I have helped care for her and came to love her as my own. Amazingly she lived to 13.5 and finally we had to put her down a few days ago. My advise is to learn and understand everything about their behavior and this disease, so as to avoid losing them before their time is up. Zoey lived a good life in spite of it all. She will be missed.

私は先週診断されたばかりのドイツ語の短いヘアポインタを持っています!彼女は危機管理モードとICUで3日間働いていました。彼女は今家にいて、プレドニゾン錠の最初の月を始めました。彼女は危機の最中に10ポンドを失い、不器用になる。あなたのポインタが危機モードを通過したとき、彼らは体重を減らしましたか?もしそうなら、彼らはどれくらい前に戻ってくるのか?私の貧しい赤ちゃんがちょうど完全な食欲を持っていないし、彼女の体重の多くを戻しているように見えないので、私はちょうど心配した:(

私のドイツの短い髪のポインタGrand Dogは5歳で、1ヶ月半前に彼はAddisonの危機に遭っていました。私たちがEmergencyクリニックに連れてこそ、ほとんど生きていませんでした。私は彼が引っ張ったと言うことはうれしいが、彼は彼が食べていない体重をたくさん失っている彼は水を飲みたくないと獣医は私たちがこれに対処するために私たちを助けていないそれは正常ですか?

もし彼が食べ物と水を必要としないなら、獣医は抗悪心薬を処方しなければならないでしょうか?あなたの犬はステロイドとパーコートンですか?ステロイドはあなたの犬を空腹にし、喉を渇かせるはずです。

私のスパニエル/ポイント/プロットミックス犬の1つは、昨年、Addisonian Crisisに入ってから診断されました。 ERに5日間いた。 20ポンドを失った。毛皮が落ちて、足の支配を失っていた。何も食べたり飲んだりしませんでした。彼女は診断されたときに4歳でした。

私の他の犬、彼女の妹は、滑り始めている。先月の下痢の問題がありました。抗生物質とプロバイオティックを取り上げ、それは問題を正しかったが、彼女は衰弱し続けた。また、水を飲むことに関心がなかったので脱水していた。数日前に彼女は嘔吐し始めた。食べ物を押さえることができず、睡眠以外に何の関心もない。私たちは過去3日間毎朝、獣医に行きました。最後に、今日彼らは彼女を認め、私はアディソンのテストが再び実行されるように頼んだ。彼らは先月に彼らを走らせ、1人は正常な状態に戻り、ACTHは正常に戻った。

獣医はあなたの犬の電解質レベルをもう一度チェックする必要があるかもしれませんか?もし彼がステロイドとパーコートンを服用しているのであれば、投薬量が正しいのではないでしょうか?

私は最初の犬が診断されたとき、彼女は古い食べ物に全く関心がないことを覚えています。私たちは、Newman's Own Organic牛の缶詰食品が彼女に関心があり、彼女がそれを心から食べることを発見しました。しかし、まずはベビーフードから始めなければなりませんでした。また、缶詰を食べる前にいくつかのタイプの缶詰を試してみる必要がありました。彼女は彼女の古いキブルとフレッシュペットをゆっくりと彼女の食生活に戻すことを始めてから約2週間前に缶詰の食べ物を食べました。

私たちは、獣医がアディソンを疑う前に、標準的なプードルを獣医に2回服用させました。彼は血まみれの便、嘔吐、血まみれの下痢、嗜眠、脱毛と震えを持っていた。彼女はアディソンを2度目に疑い、IV(2ショット)で治療した。投与されるべき抗生物質と一緒にショットとより多くの静脈注射液で私たちを帰宅させ、彼は48時間後に覚醒し始めた。彼は11ヶ月の時に溶血性免疫不全障害と診断され、入院して輸血しなければならなかったように、より厳しいケースです。これは自己免疫疾患であるため、これはすべてにレンチを投げた。彼女は今、彼が他の獣医に誤診されていると思っていたし、おそらくアディソンズの発症だったと思う。彼は今日土曜日にずっと良くなっており、火曜日にアディソニアの危機を抱えているとして彼を治療し始めた。だから頑張って、それは吸うが、それは少しの時間と忍耐を必要とする。

Hi Kelly,
Yes we have gone through an Addisons Crisis twice before it was diagnosed correctly. Molly was only 12 weeks old the first time the vets did not get it right and she had a second crisis, this time they found the problem, she almost died both times. Now at 18 weeks old she has a little Prednisolone each day and will have an injection once a month to begin with, she is now a happy little healthy little girl full of fun again. So don't be disheartened dogs can live a long healthy life with this disease. All you have to do is pay attention to changes in her habits and act on them. Hope this is helpful.

私の標準的なプードルは、アディソンダイエーゼと診断された、彼女はわずか13mosで、彼女はうんざりだと思われて、彼女は周りに寝そべり始め、その後彼女は食べることをやめた。獣医は血液と温度、低温、血液の仕事は異常に戻った。彼はそれがAddison dieaseのように見えたと言った。彼女は一晩、体液とステロイドを与えて、少し食べ始めた。彼女は今、家にいます。彼女は月に一度撃たれ、月までにステロイドを持って帰宅しました。抗生物質。彼女のエネルギーはもう少し拾った、私は皆が大丈夫であることを願っています。彼女は早く逮捕された神だと思う。下痢は無かったし、嘔吐もなかった。私は彼女を一人で離してしまうのが心配だ。探し続ける。

Was planning to take him to visit the vet if wasn’t better Thursday morning, but he passed Wednesday night. Emergency ER stabilized him for a little, but then he succumbed.. Devastated!!

私は昨日の朝、私の3歳のパグ、チャーリーをアディソンに亡命しました。私の心が痛いです。危機。急で急速にやってきました。彼は水曜日に嘔吐し始めました。私たちは彼を獣医に連れて行って、何らかのタイプの胃の不具合を想定しました。木曜日は血で下痢だったので、私たちは獣医に戻って彼をより強い薬につけた。 Thirsday.afternoonによって彼は完全な危機に陥った、私たちはERに行きました。彼はショックを受け、二次性敗血症に感染した。 rhe sepsisによって引き起こされた血栓のために2日間(そして$ 9k)後に死亡した(彼らは考える)。私が持っている唯一の慰めは、私の家族が30分前に訪れていたことです。彼女は彼に嘆いていた。彼の心はただ止まった。この病気についてもっと知ると、私はER文書が本当に完全に近づくわけではないことに気付きました。毎日の丸薬と毎月の注射で病気を管理するのは簡単だと言われましたが、私が読んだのは、あなたが実際に犬と腕を合わせて症状を観察しなければならないということです。絶え間ない心配の人生のようです。私はおそらく早く彼を置いて、この巨額の借金と将来の債務の潜在的な寿命に私の家族を持っていない必要があります彼は生き残ったが、私の心は放置することができませんでした。この決定をしようとする人にとっては、あなたにとって正しいことをしてください。しかし、さまざまな情報源からあなた自身の研究をする時間を取ってください。そして、どちらか一方の方法で罪悪感を感じないでください。どのような決断を下しても、ライバルの決定はあなたのためであり、誰もあなたのビジネスを尊重することはありません。

Our almost 5 year old, female, English Springer Spaniel had an Addison’s Crisis exactly a month ago today. My husband and I were out of town and we had hired my son’s friend to come and hang out with our two dogs when my daughter was at work, so they wouldn’t be lonely. I was scheduled to come home a week later than I did, but an lucky I came home when I did. A day and a half later one of our fur babies started acting odd. She wouldn’t come in, she refused her favorite treat, actually turning around and looking into the corner. She had also developed diarrhea, which was diagnosed on the first vet visit, as gastritis. That was 11:00am. By 3:30 I wasn’t really able to rouse her. The vet suggested I take her to the emergency vet. The emergency vet is about 20 minutes away and by the time we go there, she was in a complete coma. Six days later, 9 pounds lighter, she has come home. I worry about her but then remind myself that just last Friday she has completely normal labs (today is Sunday). She had been having vague symptoms for quite sometime that could always be explained away as inconsequential. Now, after the fact, things have fallen into place. Our vet doesn’t allow us to by our own bottle of injectibled, so with the lab and injection, it was almost $400. We love her and as long as she’s not suffering we will do what we need to do to get her treatments. When she first came home, we had her on a diet of boiled chicken and rice, slowly transitioning to her regular food. One thing, we were using “Pill Pockets” and they caused horrible gastric side effects and diarrhea in both dogs. They were handy but not an option for our pups. Good luck.

Our 10 year old shipoo was diagnosed with Cushing disease last May but was overdosedfrom Vetoryl after the vet increased dosage. He was in crisis but luckily was given prednisone right away and got better the next day. This week the vet recommended to switch to dexamethasone for 2 weeks so LDDS ca be done to see where his cortisol level at. I gave him .25 mg of dexathemasone yesterday morning and he started vomiting and muscle weakness last night through today. Don't know what to do .... we don't have money to bring him to emergency vet hospital.

I'm wondering if anyone out there has ever had any experience with a false positive ACTH test. My dog was diagnosed with Addison's on New Year's Day of this year, but I'm starting to wonder if perhaps he really doesn't have the disease at all. Sure, maybe I'm just hoping that it's not the case, but I'm really starting to wonder. He is a 26-pound Keeshond-Pomeranian mix -- so, a male dog that is not among the breeds that are typically affected. He had a severe loss of appetite for about 6 days, followed by shaking on the sixth day, which is when he was diagnosed. He had none of the other symptoms. His electrolytes tested as completely normal last month, but he was on 2.5mg of Prednisone daily, plus Percortin (until we could no longer get it) and now Fludrocortisone, instead. I asked my vet a month ago if we could reduce the Prednisone and she said we could cut back to 2.5mg every other day instead of daily, provided we kept a close eye on him. It's been about 5 weeks and I see no difference in his behavior, eating, elimination, etc. Any thoughts?

私たちの11歳のボクサーは、アジソン病を持っているかもしれません。私たちは月曜日に検査を受ける予定です。彼女は犬が歩いているのを見て倒れた。彼女は獣医師に3日間過ごし、今週末に帰宅します。獣医は検査を注文しなければならなかったので、うまくいけば月曜日に入院する予定です。彼女は快適に休んでいて、大丈夫だと思うが、彼女は非常に疲労感がある。彼女は私が読んだ貧血が症状になる可能性がありますが、ここでは誰もペットと話すことに気づいていません。私たちは今年7月4日頃に花火でエキサイトしていました。私たちは実際にそれが付加物であることを期待しています。少なくとも、addisonsと、我々は彼女に薬を与えることができ、少し時間を買う。

My 10 year old Border Collie Lloyd has recently been diagnosed with Addison’s disease. It was an ordeal obtaining the diagnosis as the first vet ran bloods, abdominal ultrasound and still no diagnosis. The second vet did a more thorough abdominal ultrasound and more bloods and diagnosed Addison’s. His symptoms were massive weight loss, panting at night, lethargy and his black nose was turning pink. The first vet had no idea what was wrong but put him on 40 mg of Prednisone. Lloyd started persistent vomiting after a week and I was told to stop the prednisone. I reduced it as I was aware of the risks of suddenly stopping such a high dose. I changed vets had the tests repeated and reduced the prednisone slowly over three months. He is now on 4mg daily and he appears well. He is often tired but he appears to be happy. He only walks short distances but still listens for motorbikes so he can run to the fence and chase them. Trying to avoid any stress in his life and hopefully he will make another few good years. The symptoms first started to show when I had to leave Lloyd in a kennel for a week while I was in hospital.

Hi laJean.
I hope that your Lab has survived Addison's? Our Yellow Lab is also 8 years old and been diagnosed with Atypical Addison's. See my note previously at the bottom of the blog.
How did your lab tolerated the injections, were they Steroids also? The Vet put ours on 50 mg of Prednisone @ day but our Dog was like 'high' and hyper from it. He is now on 25 mg only but it is still not really improving. I just came from the Vet to have another Cortisol test and Urinalysis test done, hoping to have the results on Monday,May 10, 2021, to discuss further treatment.
I would very much like to know, what people describe as 'Crashes' look like. I took the dog for a walk after the Vet visit on Friday, he trotted along nicely. Sniffing on everything and lots of peeing and a good poop. Suddenly he started whimpering, hurrieng under a bush and scratching leaves, and lying on his side, still whimpering. I was so afraid he would die right there in the Park.
He recovered after 5 - 10 Minutes and I talked and strokes him all the time.
Is that what would be considered a 'Addison's Crash'? He eats well and drinks a lot of Water but he cannot hold his Urine for long. The longest was 3 1/2 hours.
He is definitely not happy and we are sleep deprived as we get up every 2 plus hours during the night.
Your thoughts would be appreciated very much and I do hope you still enjoy your Lab today.
Warm greetings, Helga Sowa,
Toronto, Canada.

I have a 9 year old Scottie that was diagnosed with Addison’s 3 years ago. He’s doing just fine, although he has gained about 5 pounds. It’s an expensive treatment, I purchase the generic, zycortal bottle for about $300 from the vet and they administer it, it lasts approx 3 to 4 months, he’s 30 pounds. He also takes prednisone daily.

My dog was diagnosed with Addison's about 5 or 6 years ago. She's a Westie, and she was losing weight rapidly and shaking. Google said it was Addison's, but my vet thought it was cancer. My vet said the labs were normal, but when I googled the things that were off, the ratio of potassium/sodium pointed to Addisons as well as the urinalysis due to a specific gravity that was off. She has lived a very normal life. She is a little lethargic, but that is probably the biggest issue, which is no problem at all, really. I give her a monthly shot of percorten myself, mostly due to the stress that my dog has when we go to the vet, and a daily prednisone pill. I give her .5 mg of prednisone and .4 ml of percorten every 28 days, now zycortal, due to the problems with percorten related to the hurricane in Puerto Rico. The disease is very manageable. I would recommend looking for signs of problems, like shaking or losing weight, and adjust medications accordingly. I buy a supplement from Standard Process called Canine Adrenal Support. I sprinkle a little on her food each morning and it seems to help her with increased energy. Also, I give her a Thorne supplement that is a immune system support. I make her dog food that I use in addition to dry kibble. Just For Dogs makes a great "metabolic support" dog food that is delivered to your house frozen if you don't want to make your own. I would feel terrible if I didn't do everything that I could to help my dog have the best life possible. I feel it's my duty as a dog owner. She's 13 1/2 years old now and going strong.

I am wondering if anyone has had an experience similar to mine. It’s a little lengthy but all the details are important. My 11 yr old pit had a Pyometra last month and had to have an emergency spay. Surgery went well and so did recovery until 4/5 days after surgery. She began carrying a toy around and acting as if it were a baby, nesting for hours a day, whining, lactating and stopped eating. She was drinking water but not much. I noticed about a week after this behavior began that she was growing weaker. The vet dismissed me and said it was nothing to worry about. I came home one day to find her unable to stand. I rushed her to the vet where her glucose was 45. Blood work was perfect and she was much better after eating. We were advised to take her to the emergency vet which we did. That vet suggested we keep a close watch but did not suspect anything abnormal. All of that happened on a Friday night. Sunday morning I woke up to her vomiting and having diarrhea. I took her back to the vet where they said her glucose was 31. Now the vet says they cannot confirm it but he feels certain she has an insulinoma. I am skeptical and convinced that the Recent spay and hormonal changes have had something to do with this. Has anyone else’s dog had low glucose during a crisis? Any feedback would be helpful.

I want to add a positive note here. I had a Addisonian standard poodle who was diagnosed when he was about three.and did just fine until he was about fourteen and a half. We got him a shot once a month (29 days) and medication - Prednisone every other day. He was fine and had a great life. When we lost him last fall, we adopted another Addisonian standard poodle. I think this one will be a little harder to keep stable but now I know that even doing everything according to schedule may not keep him stable. He gets his medication every day and his shot like clockwork, but he had been losing his appetite and had diarrhea and one vomiting episode three days ago. I had his blood work checked today and his electrolytes were out of balance. Now I know that if he starts to get droopy or vomits and gets diarrhea, it is time to head straight to the vet.For everyone with a new diagnosis of Addison's, don't give up hope. Once you get them stable, you and your precious four legged child will be fine.

My rescue dog is nine years old and weighs 18 lbs. He was diagnosed with Addison's four months ago. Initially, I took him to an emergency hospital, and while he was getting a CT scan (vet thought he might need surgery), his heart stopped. The vet administered CPR and revived him! Now she believed he might have Addison's disease and sure enough, tests showed he does! After an overnight at the hospital, my boy was stabilized and since then, I administer a daily dose of prednisone and a monthly injection of Percorten. Today, he seems to be suffering a sort of relapse since he's shaking a lot and he doesn't want his dinner (extremely rare). I plan to make an appointment for him next week to see if his meds need tweaking. Emergency treatment was pricey, and altogether vet costs have been about $6.5K. Like all of you, my boy is family and he is most precious to me, so I'm hoping he only requires a medication adjustment. I send my very best wishes to all of you who are treating your Addison's pup!

My dog just diagnosed with Addisons last week, she is 6, she is on steroids and had fluids yesterday but she still sleeping lots and struggles to get up.

Nancy H03 Dec 2020Reply
the correct treatment depends upon the blood work. There are tupical and atypical types of Addisons. If you are not comfortable with how your dog is doing, get a second opinion from a vet at sn AAHA accredited veterinary hospital. Ask them to review the blood work and the treatment plan developed by the vet that gave you the Addisons disgnosis. .

I have an English Cocker. He was diagnosed with Atypical-Atypical Addisons when he was 2.5 yrs old. This unusual type of Addisons requires him to have Percorten injections every 25 Days, but NOT low-dose Steroid pills. He is now 10. We have been warned thst stressful situations could put him at risk of developing full Addisons. So far we have been lucky to avoid that.

I have found that many vets have limited experience with Addisons and NO understanding of Atypical forms of it. If your vet is unable to diagnose your dog's problem, get another opinion. Go to a specialty clinic or go to an AAHA accredited vet hospital.

Thank you replying to my message, sadly Willow passed away Wednesday night 5 days after diagnosis. Still in shock, such a dangerous disease i wished the vet had kept her in for observation longer as she clapsed Tuesday morning and put on a drip but later returned home that day with a view that the steroids should start to kick in as long as wasn't sick. Think this was too premature to place her back with us after a crisis, hence why she went back into crisis and died in front of us so quickly as couldn't get her to the vets in time.

My 8 year old Rottweiler was diag. 3 days ago w/ severe Addison's. Severely lethargic, not eating for 6 days..the Vet put her on Prednisone and the steroid shot I give at home. I am also giving her Iv fluids sub-q at home LR with B12 added. Her Bw was severe Addisons. What I found helpful from a post above..since she's not eating..BABY FOOD!!! I got the meat ones and she LOVED the Turkey(ate 1 small jar of it) and 1/2 a chicken one so far! Slowly if I can get her just eating that then progress to her dog food again will be a miracle. I pray she will get better and we can manage this illness!!! I refuse to give up on her!!! My vet says they don't have any pain with this illness which eases my mind.

My fur baby is a rat terrier. She was diagnosed with addisons a yesr ago. She was doing great on the percoten. A few weeks ago she relapsed between the 25 day shot. I let her doctor know what she was doing and not doing. It took IV fluids and prednisone and over a week to get her back to eating and moving. It’s so scary because they go down so fast. My girl is 9 years old and doing much better. Best wishes to every fur baby mom and dad who is going they this.

In 2000 we got a Maltese X puppy who was eventually diagnosed at 8 years with Addisons after many misdiagnosis. Luckily Prednisone was the treatment for the problems the vet thought she had so by default it actually helped her Addisons and she was ok until at 8yrs when she had a crisis and was finally diagnosed.
With Florinef and Pred we were able to enjoy 15 years of unconditional love from our beautiful girl. Fast forward to 2019 almost 6 years after she passed and we brought home a gorgeous little Maltese X. It didn't take long for us to notice certain behavioural traits that we had seen in our previous maltese. Personality and behaviours we had not seen in any of the other 6 dogs we have had. The similarities were so obvious our family started saying it was our previous dog reincarnated! No surprise then that when at 2 years of age she suddenly went downhill with vomiting, shaking etc.
Emergency vets, fluids etc nearly lost her.
Diagnosis. ACTH stim test positive for Addisons. She is now stabilised and on the appropriate meds. We know what to expect this time so we will watch her closely in times of stress and hopefully we can enjoy 15 years of unconditional love again.

Hello all. I had to send my 15 1/2 year old Rocco (Italian Grey Hound) to Heaven yesterday due to a sudden Addisonian Crisis. No changes in our life, no stressors, nothing but a big question Mark as to why this happened. Reading all the above posts from so many people with different dogs I have to wonder why? Is there a common factor with all of us? Is it something that is in some dog foods or treats that causes this but not yet discovered? I wonder if anyone Is compiling info and trying to find a cause or two? Idk, I can’t stop crying, he meant so much to me and the last few days were like no other.. very sad disease..

Our 8 year old Lab was diagnosed with Atypical Addison disease 2 weeks ago. He was to take 5 mg Prednisone twice per day, every 12 hrs. The effect was, he needed to pee every hour, desperate to get out the door. Also lost control of his Bladder during the night, 3rd day of treatment. Obviously the dose was too high and we gave him half the dosage, 2.5 mg twice a day. He still has to pee every 2 hrs, but during the night he may last 3-4 hrs. He is eating normal, like most Labradors, always wants more!
Last night I woke up, he slept for 5 Hrs but..his bed was wet, he lost Bladder control again. This is definitely NOT what our dog is happy about and it is very stressful for us. He has never had an accident in the house or car before his diagnosis. Reading all the posts you pet lover have written, nobody mentioned anything regarding excessive URINATING?? He seems to drink a lot of water which apparently is due to the Prednisone.
He never had any shaking but we experienced Seizure like episodes, thinking he might have Epilepsy.
During a walk, when he would run off leash a bit wild for a few minutes with another dog, he suddenly whimpers, looking for some bushes to crawl under and just collapses! It's terrifying, we think it's like he is looking for a place to die. This has been happening for the last 3 - 4 years, especially during hot weather, we always carry water with us though. When it happened during a cold Wintery Walk and this episode happened, we got really, seriously concerned. We suspected he might have a Heart issue but our Vet always assured us, his heart was fine. Now, that he has been diagnosed with Addison, we do hope, the situation will improve. He will have another test in a week or so, to determine if his Cortisol level has increased. We do hope we will have another 4 yrs at least with our loving companion.
Thank you, Helga.

I would go to a vet that specializes in endocrine issues. The reason he was running Everett the bushes is because without enough cortisol their fight or flight reflex is messed up.

She was even jumping on the vet when she came back in the room today, but when we got home after she went potty shes just been sleeping. I called the vet and they said thats normal. I feel im over reacting but i just want to be sure she is okay. does it take time for the medicine to fully work on her and kick in?

My mini poodle mix (rescue) was diagnosed with atypical Addison’s in October 2019 at age 8. His crisis started with uncontrollable shaking on a Saturday followed by vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, lethargy & couldn’t get up to walk. He could barely stand to pee. I took him to our vet first thing on the following Monday. At first they thought it was a severe case of pancreatitis but luckily my vet ran the Addison’s test & discovered quickly that his kidneys were failing due to Addison’s. He was very close to dying. He was in hospital for two days on IVs, prednisone and 1st Zycortal injection. He started out taking .25mg of prednisone daily but he gained about 6 pounds & was aggressive when it came to food. He now takes .50 mg twice a week & zycortal injections monthly. When I know he’s going to be under great stress (ie grooming, nail clippings, company) I increase his prednisone but he’s done very well & seems happy. He sleeps more than before but that’s could be because of weight gain & getting older. I still am paranoid any time he acts out of character or doesn’t eat. My vet has been very patient with me & appreciates that I do call as soon as I see an abnormality in his behavior. Looking back at behaviors & various incidents the year before his 1st crisis, I feel like I should've known something wasn’t right. He’s been ill & has even developed an ulcer from the prednisone but hasn’t had another crisis. I don’t have a lot of $ & have probably spent around $5k since he was diagnosed but until appears to be a suffering or in pain so I’m going to do everything I can for him. I thought the diagnosis was the beginning of the end but I now see how well he responds to treatment & enjoy every second I am with him!

Today exactly one month ago my beautiful, beloved 2-year old Australian Shepherd died during an extremely fast developing Addisonian crisis. He never had any previous symptoms, was healthy, full of fun and energy. The day before he died, he showed signs of not feeling well, was lethargic, but no such symptoms like vomiting or diarrhea or shaking. I took him to the vet that morning straight away, and he was put on a drip and kept at the hospital during the night. The blood tests on the first day showed not enough evidence to diagnose Addison's disease, or my vet was just not experienced enough to suspect this disease. The following day my dog Felix got worse, could not walk and my vet wanted him, by now very much on alert, to get an urgent MRI done. Until he could find a suitable place around town we lost a lot of precious time, and Felix was by then in an acute Addisonian crisis. I fetched my dog just after 1pm to drive him for 2 hours to the hospital where they accepted him for a thorough examination. Felix was by then half gone, his tongue hanging out, his breathing very hectic. They had to carry him into the hospital and then for 3 hours tried to diagnose his problem including some more blood tests. The doctors were eventually sure that it was Addisonian crisis. They assured us to do their utmost to stabilize Felix. We left the hospital at 6pm, and half an hour later the phone rang, and the doctor gave us the devastating news that unfortunately Felix did not make it and passed away. So absolutely without any previous warning!!! We are still in deep shock and pain about the loss of our Felix, who had just turned from a puppy into a beautiful young adolescent.

My 4 year old Boxer was diagnosed Oct. of 2019 and it has been a crazy (almost) 2 years. We took her to multiple vets before the emergency vet found out the problem. The signs were clear: Lethargic, bloody stool, dehydration, shaking (like if she was cold or sick), weakness. Before taking her to the emergency vet, she would not eat, drink or move. She was unable to stand or barely pick up her head. I knew taking her to her regular vet would do no justice since she clearly wasn’t getting any better, so we took her to the emergency vet and they immediately took labs and luckily the vet there had dealt with Addisonian dogs before and made the diagnosis. She stayed overnight and the next day was looking and feeling much better. She is on Prednisone daily and PercortenV injection once a month. The prednisone has been the trickiest part of dealing with this disease but after continuous lab work and care from our vet we have finally found a good fix. There has been a time when it is a high stress environment that she will show signs of crisis and we try not to panic. We do the best we can to act quickly and call our vet to see what they want us to do. This disease can be so ugly but she has been so healthy since we squashed the problem. Do your research, reach out to other vets and ask if they deal with Addisonian dogs, try not to panic (dogs sense stress which can put them in more stress), and love on them as much as you can. Hope this helps someone!

My dog Talisker is a Great Dane and was diagnosed with Addison’s at 2 years old. She takes Zycortal and Prednisone and we have not had a attack since the one at two years old. (She’s now 5) we were lucky enough to get her on a low dosage plan, 2.5 ml per month rather than the suggested 4 ml per month (the entire vial) and I was able to source a supplier for $100 for a 4 ml vial and learned to give injections myself. For giant breeds, this is a expensive condition. For the past 2 years she has gradually lost control of her bladder which is a result of the daily steroid. Most often she empties her whole bladder while asleep. Now, within the last 6 months, we’ve started to treat for arthritic back hips. I don’t know how much time we will have left with her but it can certainly be a draining ordeal. Best of luck to anyone going through this!

Our mixed breed female will be 8-years old this weekend. She was officially diagnosed with Addison’s disease this morning. The symptoms came on very gradually over the past few months. I thought her trembling was due to storms and fireworks but now I know it was stress-related due to Addison’s. This past week she stopped eating which caused me to take her to the vet. They ran the blood test yesterday that confirmed Addison’s. She had her shot today and I started her on prednisone this morning. She is still lethargic and won’t eat but I am hopeful she will start to improve tomorrow. I love her and am extra attentive to her moods and behaviors. I am optimistic that she will be a success story for Addison’s.

Yes. Lady for ten years has never been a big dog and the vet has always said she was healthy but this time last year she had her first crisis and declined so fast she nearly died. We went to a different vet who diagnosed her almost immediately and got her back to Heath within a couple of days. Her bloods yesterday came back stable so the vet visits are now every six weeks for her shot and every twelve weeks for her bloods. Safe to say the steroids have given her quite the appetite and she’s gained a lot of weight so no more snacks….for a ten year old dog who wants to live her best life and eat all day it’s proving difficult! It’s costing us around £125 each vet visit…….
Has your dog been the anxious type? Lady always has been timid and I hear that’s quite common with Addison dogs x

My Great Dane Athena was diagnosed a couple days ago, she was very lethargic, stopped eating , slept more than usual, she just wasn’t herself
We have her on prednisone and are waiting for her shots to come in. She has started eating more and more daily, we buy 3 whole rotisserie chickens and break them down and shred them for her. We even purchased entyce to give her an appetite and I want to say that it sort of worked because she did her up and come around looking for food. She has been leaving her room more and more and has become social again but not as much as she was before. We caught it in time and I’m lucky that we have a great vet that can answer any questions about treatment or anything we can ask. It’s painful to see her almost collapse and give up but she’s my everything and I can’t give up on her.

My little IG Archie went into an Addisonian crisis when he was 3 months old after receiving a distemper shot. He became very lethargic, wouldn’t eat and was vomiting dark brown bile. I rushed him to our nearest emergency center an hour away and he completely collapsed by the time we arrived. They told me he was likely going to die and asked if I would authorize CPR, which I did. His heart actually stopped beating, they started CPR and were able to get his heart beating again. Once he was properly diagnosed, his was back to his old self within hours, running around and licking everyone. He has done well on his meds and is now 2 years old.

My chihuahua Jax is 11 years old- she was diagnosed with Addison disease at four years old
It’s been fairly easy for her first few years with Addison’s , but the last year she has been on a rollercoaster, up and down and it’s finally getting to feel as if all her trips to her vet are not helping, only for a short while and she’s back with needing more care- she’s on 1/2 m percortin , her shot every 25 days
She threw up clear fluids today, her stools are ok , she’s moans at times and has been on a new diet, lost a lot of weight, she looks too thin , I’m off to the vet a few times a month
It’s frustrating- she’s my very best friend and u all know how precious our animals are
She’s my little baby, and I’m wondering if I’m doing the right thing by her
She’s great for awhile after treatment and fails gradually each month
I’ve shed many tears and just think 🤔, when will she return to the frisky life she’s had
