Almost lost our dog yesterday. She was diagnosed with Addison's disease. She was having a Addison crisis and was looking so bad. The treatment was expensive, and now she will have expensive treatment the rest of her life, but if I had to make the decision again, I'd do it in a heartbeat. We love our girl too much.
Can we talk about your experience? Our dogs going through a crisis right now.
@@tarasanderson2150 our dog was exhibiting off behaviors like extreme lethargy, lack of appetite, lack of drinking water, her cortisol levels were extremely low. We had to take her to an emergency vet and it took them several hours to diagnose the condition. Now our dog takes oral Prednisone daily has a monthly injection as well. The vet gave her I believe sugars at first and saline to get her glucose levels back in order and then finally confirmed the diagnosis and administered the other treatments. It was a stressful experience.
@@tarasanderson2150 I'm happy to discuss further needed. But my wife and I had noticed symptoms of lethargy that were getting worse over a course of a couple weeks. I noted the odd behaviors to the vet but they indicated that nothing seemed wrong, our dog has really bad anxiety and hates the vet (she was sleeping on the middle of the floor and I pointed out that I thought the behavior was off as well). A couple days later my wife noticed a further decline and we took her back to the vet who said her chems didn't look right and sent my wife to an emergency vet.
Very through and informative. Thanks!
Our 10 year old golden doodle has been diagnosed with Addison 5 years ago. We left her at doggy camp for a week while we went on vacation out of country. Upon return the staff told us she wouldn’t eat anything for the last couple of days. She was healthy and perfectly fine prior to camp. We took her home and she refused to eat or drink and became lethargic. We tried several foods over the next few days and she wouldn’t eat anything. Took her to the vet for all sort of very expensive tests and the vet had no idea. She lost a lot of weight and could barely walk or stand. The vet even offered to put her down. We then tried a different vet who upon looking at the blood tests and very low cortisol told us immediately he believes she has Addison. She started the treatment and came back to life. She now takes daily prednisone and monthly shots but has been ok for the last 5 years. The old vet called us a few days after we left his office and we told him she has Addison, he said he never heard of it.
My dog was just diagnosed yesterday with beginning Addison’s Disease. He is only 15 pounds but his DNA states he has standard poodle. He is a mixture of poodle (different sizes), Yorke and Las Alspo. His stress is having IBS since he was very young and is now 11.5. He has had stomach pains and nursing to help the pain. His specialty vet has given him lots of different medications to help with this problem
IMPRESSIVE STUDY great explanation
Our GSP has Addison’s, he was diagnosed at 1.5 years. We are a very active family, and he was under “stress” for 5 days in a row (he was very happy, camping, hiking) but we basically induced his crisis. I am so grateful we have 90% coverage insurance, we knew if we wanted a puppy we needed insurance. I’m not sure why more people don’t have it. He gets the proper treatment, and I am always carefully watching him, I stay home so that helps. You need to watch their eating habits, and watch for runny poops. He is our 3rd baby haha. We are praying he has a long life, I can tell he is not a normal GSP, he gets tired easily, stressed out easily, and his appetite isn’t always up. We call him out lazy GSP ♥️🐶
Hey, can you share presentation here?
Thanks 4 this information♡
Make it more affordable for pet owners. It’s 188 to 225 dollars every 25 days. It’s $$$$ and I wonder if pet insurance covers some of the meds. It’s $$$$ my gawd
That's it? Every place around me charges $500 or close to it for a test.
Nationwide Pet Insurance does cover it up to a price point, like 700.00. So it cover the test and injections and medications for 8mo. That will also depend on how much your Vet. test and treatments cost.
Do I need to listen till the end to hear the symptoms to look out for?
My dog isn’t having a bowel movement in a week but she acts normal..
dude you’re no help at all.
You’re so frustrating just tell us symptoms to watch for
