If she does have addison’s it must be identified and treated as it is a life threatening disease and they do suffer.

My dog had terrible rashes and hair loss until we reduced her dose.
Best of luck,
Stephanie

I would say go ahead with the tests. If it *is* Addison’s, your dog could eventually have an Addisionian crisis, which is life-threatening and it could come on suddenly.
Best of luck,

Yes — prednisone especially can cause hair loss.

Max is on Percorten injections and daily steroids. He seems to be doing great, has the light in his eyes back. He is, however, shedding profusely!!! His breed is said not to “shed”. I was wondering is this a side effect of either of these drugs?

A rash could be a side effect. It could also be prednisone, if your dog is taking that.

I have one question about urin under the dogs having Addisons.
Is there possibility that their unins have
albumin?
My frind is very concerned about that she has found albmin in her dog’s urin since she has Addsons, which is more than 5 years.
And she is suffering some kind of cancer.
She had operation on Dec. 2011.
Vet suggested that he couldn’t get rid of cancer completely from her body.
As of today, she has no sign of recuring.
My friend wants to know the existence of albmin in the urin is due to Addisons, or cancer.
I’m looing forward to receiving your soonest reply.
Best regards

It is very itchy and the vet tries all different treatments to no effect and large cost. I was wondering if it is the florinef causing the problem? He has had the disease for about 5 years and only after an addisonian episode 12 months ago did they increase the medication and the problem is getting worse.
