Maisie has just been diagnosed with Addison's disease thanks to our amazing vets.  Has anybody else on Champdogs had a similar experience - she is responding well to treatment.

My brother has a 4 year old collie x diagnosed last year.
She's doing well on meds but still thin and poor looking. He's just so relieved that she pulled through the acute phase.

You are very lucky u have such a good vet. I know someone last year whose dog was taken ill and it was diagnosed with this BUt it was too late and the dog died the next day. Very sad and they were heartbroken.
Good luck in the management of this

Thank you for all your support those who have replied.  Poor old Maisie Moo.  My sympathies to those people who have lost their beloved  fur babies through this horrible diseasexx

I am so sorry - I really am.   The trouble with this disease is it is often not until it is too late that one actually notices it.  Luckily Maisie was in a mild steroid dose for a skin irritation and this is what probably saved her and it wasn't until she actually had a crisis that we actually noticed it ourselves. 

She had got a little bit slower and (we thought) lazier but we thought that was just her as she still loved chasing her ball and was lively and friendly when she saw people - no change there.  It really was nothing obvious.

I know I don't know you but you are in my thoughts.  In my case, as the song says, hindsight is 20/20 vision.
