Is there an alternative treatment for Canine Addison’s Disease?
Just got the news today. With out treatment, my dog will die from Addisont’s Disease. Turns out the treatment will cost around 5 thousand bucks. The vet hydrated him before we left the office but he’s still pretty lethargic. Isnt there an herbal supplement that help him out? I dont want to loose my best friend!
been doing research since posting this question. there is a specific test they can run then they have to figure out which category of the disease it is. 5k may have been a little high but I’m thinking it includes the test and meds.
Addison’s disease is a condition where the adrenal glands do not produce the normal amounts of steroids. This causes the body to lose sodium, become dehydrated, and have vomiting, diarrhea and lethargy.
I’m not sure where the $5000 treatment fee is coming from. The two treatments I am familiar with are Florinef – a human pharmaceutical product that replaces both glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids, and DOCP, which is formulated for animals and replaces mineralocorticoids. These are LIFELONG therapies, as there is no way to force the adrenal glands to increase production.
Although the cost of either medication is not cheap, I can’t imagine that it can cost $5000 all at once. I find that DOCP, which is an injection given every 25 days, works better to control the problem. In the beginning stages of the treatment, there is a fair amount of testing, but again, I can’t see it costing that much all at one time.
Try checking out K9Addisons website, it actually has some pretty good info.
Good luck. The good news is that with appropriate treatment, a dog can live a long, normal life with this condition. But without treatment, it can be fatal.

Analysis of Alternative Sewage Treatment Systems $108.33 Pollution of the environment and in particular of water resources as a result of poor waste management including sanitation constitutes one of the most immediate and serious environmental problems facing developing countries. Waste stabilization ponds (WSPs) which have been regarded as the method of first choice forthe treatment of waste water often performing below the required effluent quality standards in almost all water quality parameters. This has led to the adoption of constructed wetlands (CWs). However, some constructed wetlands have not been able to attain the acceptable effluent discharge standards. This book therefore provides the insights into the contaminant removal process and design of waste stabilization ponds and constructed wetlands systems. A case study on selection of alternative designs of appropriate sewage treatment systems for domestic waste water treatment in a tropical country is presented. A hybrid system that combines both the WSPs and CWs is considered to be a viable solution in achieving better treatment performances. Author: Kogo, Benjamin/ Elijah K. Biamah, Prof/ Daniel a.

In the heat of the debate many fundamental issues are raised concerning our health care system, among them the questions of therapeutic effectiveness, media truthfulness, the patient’s freedom to choose among treatment options, health insurance coverage, the ability of the current healthcare delivery system to meet patients’ needs, and government approval of alternative medicines. |
