Addison's

[Hank and Baileys mom Staci]

My one year old Labradoodle Hank was just diagnosed with Addison's I am heart broken he became ill after getting his vaccinations the vet and I both though he had reaction to the lepto shot and he would get better but he didnt and I had to take him to emergency vet he was there for 3 days and was diagnosed with Addison's I know with meds he can live a long life and be ok I am just worried does anyone have a doodle that has Addisons and how are they doing?

I am so sorry! Poor Hank. I don't know much about Addison's, but I know there are other members here who definitely do who will help you out. You have my support and well wishes!

Thank you so much I hope to talk to some of them to see how they are doing.

So sorry Staci for this diagnosis.  I am sure someone will chime in with some personal experience.

I hope Hank and you will soon feel better.  I know there are many here on DK that can help you.

Thank you.

So sorry to hear this, I'm hopeful from what I have heard that Hank will be able to have good health and quality of life with the correct meds.  Check out the Health group, link here,  http://www.doodlekisses.com/group/healthandmedicalissues as there are others who also have doodles with Addisons and  am sure they will be able to give you information and some welcome support.

I'm sorry to hear this, Staci. There are other doodles here with Addison's, check the links that Jane provided as well as the Health & Medical Group.

Dogs with Addison's disease can live a long life and do very well. Here's a link to a wonderful support group with great resources for owners of dogs with Addison's Disease: Addison Dogs. Most of the people I know whose dogs have been diagnosed with Addison's have found this group to be invaluable.

Good luck, I hope Hank does well with his treatment.

I am sorry to hear about HAnk. As the others have said we have more than one doodle on DK with Addison's and they are as far as I know doing well.
