She was a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever and was diagnosed at 6 years old. Her original diagnosis was 'Atypical" Addison's so she only took daily Prednisone to control it but it finally turned into "Regular" Addison's in April and she then started getting the monthly Percorten-V injections in addition to the Pred. We lost her on June 27, she would have been 13 on July 4 (hence her name). She was my canine soul mate, never more than a few yards away from me. I also have a younger Toller, "Penny" (my namesake on this board) but I fell hard and fast for Glory and I will miss her terribly.

Has your dog been officially diagnosed? They call Addison's "the great Imitator" because it can mimic so many other ailments, it's basically a diagnosis of elimination, but once the meds kicked in it was very easy to deal with. Please let me know if I can give you any particular info and feel free to ask any questions. Good luck! Penny
