Back to the vet with our Molly....another problem since Addison's diagnosis

[Lake Girl, Lizette]

Praying for my girl....now incontinence...every 30 minutes we are outside.  She pees while sleeping. Been washing constantly, cleaning carpets, etc. and cleaning her up since yesterday.  Called vet this morning and hoping we don't have a bladder infection. Read side effects from the shot for Addison's Disease  or the prednisone or both....apparently this can cause bladder issues.  Now we are dealing with this.  We can't seem to get a break.  I am wavering between exhaustion and being totally distraught over this. I am getting very, very upset over all this. Which causes my brain disorder called TN to swing into full gear. Both my head and my heart are hurting right now.  I am overcome with concern for Molly and she looks so pathetic when she has an accident.    I have had to cancel everything.   One of us has to be here with her at all times.   I am exhausted...stayed up to take her out to the bathroom all night.  This is tough....really,really tough.  Got a call into my vet already at 7 a.m.  I am thinking of how difficult remediation is concerning this disease.  I am tired, frustrated, angry, and trying to control my thoughts and not really express what I am feeling at this point.  Trying to keep my emotions in check.   I prayed over Molly last night and full healing.  Now I need to stand strong in faith and know our Lord loves all His creations and wants to make them well.

Just checking in and saw your post from yesterday. I truely feel for you and Molly and William had the best advice, in keep thinking this too shall pass. I hope the Vet was able to titrate her meds yesterday and you both see some relief soon. You do sound like you are exhausted as I know I would be as well. I don't do well without good sleep. I don't know if a doggie diaper for night is something to consider, as it isn't going to help with potty training, I know, but it sounds like you are in survival mode right now, and it might allow you a few hours rest at night until this gets resolved.
As for venting, this would be a safe place to do so as there certainly are many of us who can empathize and sympathize with your situation. I am praying for a very quick resolution to this new dilema and Molly is on the way to being her happy go lucky self soon.

I am so sorry, I've been reading all this and I really hope things get better for you and your Molly soon. You both need a break. :(

Good words of support and good advice here as well. The prednisone can cause a lot of the pre issues as others have said. Hopefully as William said the vet can get the meds regulated and things can get a little easier. If not u might want to look around for a vet with more ADditions cases so they will have more knowledge and ideas. Thinking of you and wishing for better days ahead.
