Thanks Jo - really useful to read the background on Zycortal. Our vet seems 'on the ball' in terms of dealing with Addison's, so fingers crossed that we will manage Colin's dose quickly.

Endocrine diseases (hypothyroidism, Addison's) / Any advice for new Addison's diagnosis?
January 09, 2017, 08:47:29 PM
Hi,
Our 3 year old Miniature Labradoodle, Colin, has very recently been diagnosed with Addison's disease. Over Christmas he showed many of the symptoms related to the condition - loss of appetite, vomiting, lethargy, tremors... and following several days as an 'in-patient' at the vets received his diagnosis.
He has had an initial injection of Zycortal and is on a daily dose of Prednisolone, which apparently the vet will be working on achieving the right levels over the next few months.
I just wondered if anyone is able to offer any advice from their experiences of dealing with a diagnosis of Addison's?
