Test Dog Question

same question but from staging.

If my dog has addison's disease, will his skin turn brown?

My 60+ lb dog is 13 1/2 years old. He has had Addisons since he was about 2. I have managed it very effectively all these years. Yesterday he had a seizure yet he still enjoys eating and drinking and he’s just an old dog with a little less energy. I am wondering how I know when to put him down? I am fully aware that the daily prednisolone may be keeping him alive or looking to be alive longer than he should be. Thoughts?

Hello, I am currently working with my vet to help treat my 3 year old dog who has been diagnosed with secondary Addison’s disease. For the last 10 months she has been taking daily prednisone at a dose of 0.26mg/kg (2.5mg per day)—she weighs about 9.4kg. I have tried to lower the dosage further, and even do alternate day prednisolone, but each time I attempt it the vomiting returns within 24 hours. My vet has recommended that I continue my dog on the daily prednisolone. However, I have been seeing some negative side effects... mostly just fur loss and a thinning coat. Her fur is much thinner than it ever has been in the past, and I know this can by a side effect of long term prednisolone usage. Due to the above, I have been researching about the possibility of using licorice tincture on an alternate day basis with prednisolone, but I have been seeing very conflicting evidence about this. I really need some advice about what to do about this, or if this regimen would be possible. My vet is not very much help with a natural form of treatment. Thank you for your advice! Daniel!

Can I gradually replace prednesolone with Licorice root supplement?

My 14 yr old Doberman is constantly licking herself, her bed or the floor. I thought nails may be a problem but that didn't stop her. Vet was not sure of Cushings or Addison's. She does have episodes when she coughs like she is coughing up something.

My goldendoodle, Koda, was just diagnosed today with Addisons Disease. We have all the details about medication and such but I was just wondering if there are any other steps we can take to make sure she is comfortable or anything we can do to help her. She?s 3 years old also:)
