| Video Discription | Hi everyone! My name is Dan, and I am a veterinarian. Today we are talking about Addison's disease in the dog. Addison's disease in the dog is very serious and it comes as either atypical or typical Addison's disease. Addison's disease is hypoadrenocorticism. This means the adrenal glands are not working correctly. This causes a reduction or lack of production of cortisol and possibly mineralcorticoids. This is a really serious disease for a dog to have. If a dog has the atypical form of Addison's disease they will not be able to produce cortisol. This will cause all kinds of different symptoms. A dog with atypical Addison's disease can be very difficult to diagnose. Your veterinarian will complete an ACTH test to diagnose the atypical Addison's disease and then put your dog on steroids in most cases. A dog with typical Addison's not only has failure of the adrenal gland to produce cortisol, but also the lack of mineralcorticoids to regulate electrolytes. This is a really big problem. A dog will get very sick from abnormal electrolytes. In some cases a dog with Addison's will arrive at the veterinary clinic as an emergency and need life saving hospitalization to recover. Long term steroids or mineralcorticoids are needed for a dog with typical Addison's disease. Disclaimer* As always, if you dog or pet is sick always go see your veterinarian.
