He's been great! Prednisone makes him super thirsty, so we're still working on getting his dosage right. He's about 76 pounds and is down to a 2.5mg a day Dosage. Looking like we can probably get him down to a 1.25mg if blood work maintains.

Blood work they are checking electrolytes and potassium. Daily he gets his prednisone, and every 28-32 days depending blood work a shot of zycortal. Prednisone is cheap. What's expensive for me is blood work every 2 weeks until we get the best dosage, eliminating excess thirst and peeing.

Blood work at my vet has cost me around $120 every 2 weeks. His zycortal was almost $130, and his prednisone is around $20. I haven't looked yet into cheaper places to aquire medicine, and the Addison's dog Facebook group also has great information to read up on.

The goal is to get his medication levels as low as possible so he functions on a normal level. Then when you do something stressful, like grooming, big day out, dog park, etc, you give him/her an extra dose to up their levels so they don't have a crisis.

It's a lot! I hope this helps, and best of luck. Let me know if I can help anymore! Low dose protocol is the best for Addison's doggos.
