Addisons Disease?? (Dog)?!


Question: Addisons Disease!?!? (Dog)!?
My dog has been to the vet extensively (including today) and I have researched her symptoms and have come up with the possibility that she has Addisons!. Tomorrow I will have her tested but I was wondering if anyone can give additional information to me!.

She is a 2 yr old Papillion!. She had puppies 4 wks ago!. As of 6 days ago she stopped eating all together!. Her glucose was low, 65, and we started antibiotics!. She seemed to improve!. This morning she couldnt walk, like she was too weak!. She drinks some fluids but vet confirms dehydration!. her Kidneys are not functioning right!. BUN, PHOS, HCT, HGB, and PLT all high and glucose an alarming 23!. (VERY LOW) Her temp 94!.3

Tomorrow she will be put on IV antibiotics, fluids and glucose for a hopeful improvement!. I am also asking them to test for this specific disease!. They told me she is near death and I am beside myself trying to find the cause so it can be treated along with the symptoms!. Any advice, experience or suggestions appreciatedWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Did they check her Potassium and Sodium!? K and Na!. If they are low = dehydration!. If they are high it could be kidney failure(it is also a sign of addison's ) It could just be Kidney failure, but she is young for that!. Is there any chance that she got into any poisons!? rat poison or antifreeze!?

Those labs are indicating dehydration or kidney failure i do believe!.

One site says not to force water and that pedialyte is ok!. I would check with the vet first!.

I hope she gets to be OKWww@Answer-Health@Com
