What is the prognosis for a dog with Addison disease. After starting on prednisone how soon should I notice a change in his behavior and lethargic mannerism and when should the vomiting stop.
I am sorry the K-Cl was diagnosed with Addison's disease. Good news is that once treatment is start they usually do really well! If they are vomiting you may need to have him examined to ensure he doesn't need any fluids as he could be in an addisonian crisis. Finally addison's is usually the cause of having too low of two different type of stress hormones. So you may also want to talk to you vet to see if he needs to be on an additional medication besides just prednisone like florinef or percorten injections - these may help speed up his recovery. Also know that addisons is a life long condition so these medications will likely need to be continued long term. I hope your sweet baby starts feeling better really soon. Please feel free to contact us again on the forum or to set up a consultation if you have additional questions or would like more information. Below I have attached a link with more information on addison's disease http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?

Is there anyone who knows if is a replacement or alternative medicine for vetoryl 30 mg. This medicine is making my dog very sick so I decided to stop it, As soon as I dld that I can tell she has more energy she eats better she is back been herself.
Vetoryl (trilostane) is the best medication for managing Cushing's disease, but I'm sorry to hear that Lacy has not been tolerating it well. I have anecdotally heard of some vets using a variety of supplements for managing Cushing's disease signs, but these supplements will not ultimately decrease the cortisol production by the adrenal glands and generally seem ineffective. I don't know how long Lacy was receiving Vetoryl, but some dogs can initially become lethargic, vomit, have diarrhea, or a decreased appetite. Fortunately, these signs typically resolve after a few days to a few weeks on the medication. It may be worth discussing a temporary dose adjustment with Lacy's vet to see if she tolerates a lower dose better before gradually increasing to her 30mg dose. Some dogs also benefit from supportive measures (anti nausea medications, bland diets, etc.) in the first few days to weeks of treatment. I hope this helps and that all goes well!

Cushing's for a year ,treated with veteroyl and CD diet. Suspected pancreatitis, diarrhea and vomiting, and no appetite. Dr. recommended stopping Cushing's med and giving steroid and famotidine.
Hello and thank you for your post! I am sorry to hear that Aprile is not feeling well. With the Cushing's medication, this can cause the reverse disease called Addison's disease. The Cushing's medication will decrease the steroids in the body. Sometimes this medication can decrease the steroids too much and lead to an addisonian crisis. If your vet has not checked blood work to see what the electrolytes and the rest of the blood work looks like I would certainly want to see what the CBC and chemistry look like. If your vet has examined her and deems that steroids are necessary due to the examination and clinical appearance then a dose of steroids is probably okay to administer with the suspicion that the Cushing's medication has decreased the natural steroids in the body too much. Famotidine is just Pepcid AC, so it is absolutely safe to give. If the pancreatitis is very bad, then I would suggest keeping her in the hospital on supportive care until she's feeling better. I hope this hel

My dog was recently diagnosed with Addisons and had his first injection of DOCP about 2 weeks ago along with a daily dose of prednisone. I've noticed today that every time he gets up he pees. What is causing this. He is only 3.5 yes old.
Unfortunately this is a symptom of the steroids and you may see this indefinitely if he is on the injection and oral prednisone. It may be possible to taper the prednisone so that all he is receiving is the DOCP injection. I would discuss this with your vet first prior to adjusting the dose yourself though as you do not want to cause him to go into an addisonian crisis by dropping the steroid dose too much. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. I am also available via consultation if needed.

my 13yo mini dachund was diagnosed with Cushings - I am picking uo her Vetroyl today and will start tomorrow - she is also taking Vetmedin , hypothyroid meds, Lasix and enalipril daily - I read that veteroyl should not be given to dog taking
Great catch on your part! You obviously are doing a great job taking care of Schnoodle! Your vet probably is aware of this potential interaction but decided the benefits of starting her on Vetoryl outweigh the risks. However, I would definitely mention it to the vet when you stop by to pick up the meds. Your vet will likely require routine lab work to monitor Schnoodle's electrolytes (which includes potassium) as well as her renal and kidney function.
