Tide
Name: ~Tide~

Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Pharaoh Hound Mix

Sex: Male

Age Diagnosed w/Addison's: 2 years old


Comments: Tide lives in sunny California and just loves to chase frisbees and play in the ocean. We adopted him from CARE when he was 8 weeks old and immediately fell in love. Tide went through a lot before his eventual AD diagnosis, but since then he has made remarkable progress and is now back to being the happy puptart that he was before!!


Sherman
Name: ~Sherman~

Breed: Jack Russell Terrier

Sex: Male

Age Diagnosed w/Addison's: 5 years old


Comments: We just found out that Sherman has Addison's. Unfortunately, three vets missed the diagnosis and he almost died. In desperation, I went on the internet to the "Ask Jeeves" site and started entering my dog's symptoms...and found Addisons. I immediately returned to my vet and had Sherman tested...the vet was amazed when it was positive. The internet saved Sherman's life!
He's been on DOCP for two months and is doing great!


Belou
Name: ~Belou~

Breed: Australian Shepherd Mix

Sex: Female

Age Diagnosed w/Addison's: 11 months old


Comments: Besides herding sheep, Belou enjoys eating, sleeping, walking, running, chewing, snorting, rolling, scratching, sniffing, licking, yoga, peeing, chasing tennis balls or her cat Mimi, and drinking out of the toilet. She is a very happy girl in spite of her neurotic mother.


Dixie
Name: ~Dixie~

Breed: English Springer Spaniel

Sex: Female

Age Diagnosed w/Addison's: 3 years, 7 months old


Comments: Dixie is practically our child, so we are very glad that AD is treatable! She was also diagnosed with Masticatory Myositis at the age of 10 months. She's the sweetest and most fun dog my husband and I have ever had!


Chaunsey
Name: ~Chaunsey~

Breed: Retriever x Lab mix

Sex: Male

Comments: Chaunsey loves to lay with his head in your lap, play with a ball and do whatever you tell him to. His vet just loves him because he's so cooperative and gentle.
