Hi there
My poodle Kelly (9 years old)has just today been diaganosed with Addisons (underactive adrenal glands). She has not been well for approx 12 months, and in that time we have had her on drips and all sorts a number of times, and this time we even thought we were going to have to put her down. Finally after another set of blood tests the vet did the ACTH test and we finally know that Kelly has addisons. Kelly has been put on 0.5mg florinef and 0.5mg delta cortef tabs both of these taken twice daily. I can already see a change in her. Jack seems to be on a very high dosage?. Kelly is already a lot happier. She was depressed, off her food and water, and did not even want to walk to the end of the street with me.
Please keep in touch and let me know how Jack is doing. I'm sure we will see our old dogs back again very soon.
