Help us celebrate Canine Addison’s Awareness Week! Please share! You never know who you might help!
(There is a Facebook sharing button at the bottom of the page.)
Today we are celebrating my dog & all dogs that have Addison’s disease.
If not diagnosed and treated in time, Addison’s disease can be fatal.
But with proper medication, dogs can live active, happy, healthy lives.

- Diarrhea, sometimes with blood in the feces
- Exercise intolerance
- Frequent drinking or urination

Once diagnosed, Addison’s is easy to manage.[/framed_box]
