Man Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) Hi It has been a while since I have been online but thought some people might be interested in our progress and hopefully be of interest and provide some hope for people with newly diagnosed dogs. The original post is located at Original message with details Dida's crash and subsequent cardiac arrest. It has been almost 18 months and apart from the daily medication and monthly injection Dida is living a full and healthy life, with no apparent side affects the trauma she suffered or with ongoing Addisons. Currently she gets .2ml fludrocortisone acetate daily and .7ml Percorten-V every 30 days. Apart from keeping an eye on her weight and making sure she has access to water there are no issues. There are no dramas with the monthly injection and when she see the syringe being unwrapped Dida jumps up and sits beside me on the lounge waiting (although I think might be more for the treat she knows she will get afterwards LOL) I realise we have been extremely lucky but it also shows Addisons is manageable and never let your vet ignore a blood test that shows an increase in Potassium levels.
