Addison's Disease My little 3yr old yorkie was recently diagnosed with Addison's disease. She now has to take a steroid daily and a short once a month for her electrolytes. Does anyone else have a dog with this disease and any helpful insights?:aimeeyork |
My Wylie has basically the opposite of Addisons (he has Atypical Cushings), which means he has high steroid in his system, and we have to medicate him to keep it down. Whereas you have to keep your baby's cortisol up. Just wanted to lend you some support :). With keeping your kiddo's cortisol up, she should do very well! Welcome to YT! |

Thank you for your helpful hints everyone. I am changing her food to Science ID since her brother (bichon) has IBD. I feed them x2 a day because they were both kind of on the skinny side but I know that can change easily. Graice weighed in at 6.5lbs when she was sick so I guess we'll have to watch that also. My babies I love them no matter what's wrong with them. |
