Addisonâs disease most commonly affects female dogs around four or five years old. This condition is typically caused by injury to the adrenal glandsâ tissue from infection, hemorrhaging, or autoimmune disorders. If your pet is coming off of steroid treatment, the steroid withdrawal may also be causing an imbalance.
Because dogs with Addisonâs disease cannot produce more cortisol in response to stress, stress should be minimized whenever possible. It may be necessary to increase the amount of hormones given during periods of stress (e.g. boarding, surgery, travel, etc.). With appropriate treatment for Addisonâs disease, dogs can live a long and happy life.
