Atypical Addison's

[Discussing Labradoodles & Goldendoodles]

We spent over an hour with our vet today. They did a full blood panel and a lengthy exam and history. Our vet is pretty confident based on lab work and symptoms that we're looking at atypical Addison's. Not good, but at least not too expensive to treat for the time being. She got a shot of dexamethasone and we're going back for a resting cortisol level. The breeder is devastated because Maizy has had 2 litters and has 2 dogs in her breeding program from Maizy.

I'm so happy to be on the path to getting things figured out and getting my girl feeling back to herself!

[Stephanie and Ragley]

Poor Maizy, but at least you have an answer and a plan of action to help her!

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Not great, but compared to some of the other diseases that had been considered, not horrible either. I hope Maizy does well with her treatment. 

[F, Calla & Luca]

Me too.

[Linda, Charlie Brown and Beau]

I hope Maizy responds to treatment and is feeling better soon.

[BG and Gavin]

Oh so sorry.  Glad she has a treatment plan to get back on track.

[Emily, Bentley, & Maserati]

I hope Maizy responds quickly to the treatments. I'm glad you have some answers. 

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

Thanks for letting us know. I hope that now that you have a diagnosis and can properly treat Maizy, she will feel better.

[Lonnie & Libby Lu]

Absolutely family!  Glad there is a treatment plan for her!  Hugs to all of you and Maizy!

[Janie, Jackson and Jilly]

Good to hear you have a treatment plan now, hope she feels better soon.

[Lucy & AnnaBelle's Mom]

Glad to hear that things are looking better!  Hugs to you all.

[Lori, Quincy & Frankie]

Glad to hear there is a plan - fingers crossed for your girl to be better fast!

[Robin and Libby Louise]

Paws crossed for you and Maizy!  Glad she is feeling more like herself today!
