It happens when the adrenal glands stop making the hormones that keep the body balanced, and when it goes into crisis, it can be fatal in just hours.
On Monday, Gustavo suddenly became very sick with nonstop vomiting and diarrhea. When we arrived at Dogwood Emergency, we were told his blood pressure was extremely low, his cortisol level was dangerously low, and he was severely dehydrated. He was in critical condition. The incredible veterinarians there acted quickly, found out what was wrong, and saved his life. ❤️🥹 He is only alive today because of their fast action… and I also believe because of God’s perfect timing. Mondays are usually one of the days we are both gone all day for work, but this week was a holiday and we were home. If we weren’t home on Monday… Gustavo would not be here today!
He will now live with Addison’s disease for the rest of his life, but he’s here. He’s home. And for that, I will forever be grateful… to God and to the amazing team at Dogwood Emergency who saved his life and gave us more time with our boy. 🙏❤️
Also, I cannot thank you enough for all the love and support you all have sent our way, we are truly blessed!! ❤️🩹

Happy your baby is going to be ok. Thank you for educating us. It’s SO hard when they can’t tell us what hurts. 😫 Stress filled vet visits are a true nightmare. Glad you have a vet you trust! Such a relief to have that relationship.

Maybe Cushing’s is the opposite of Addison’s disease I don’t remember but my dog is still doing great at 17 and I know yours will too

My 17-year-old dog has Addison’s disease or I think the other name for it is Cushing’s disease and she was on medication for years and she got taken off of it recently because when they tested her, she was OK which was odd. I thought she would be on at the rest of her life, but I just wanted you to know she is 17 years old and still going she still get the zoomies
