I over clocked my dog

[Fanatical Meat]

My pooch was diagnosed with Addison’s Disease last month. He almost died because he was diagnosed so late of which I will accept some of that blame.
Addisons is a disease that ruins his fight or flight hormones. Our typical vet who I have been more and more disappointed with stuck with what the animal hospital had for our pooch regarding his steriod.
Found a new vet who was accepting new patients plus has experience treating Addison's and we took him yesterday.
She was shocked about the steroid dosage we have been giving him for comparison his dosage was double what a similar aged dog twice his size was.
He has been drinking and peeing like crazy. He looks and seems to feel super good/strong for the last month because he was so amped up with the steriod.
My dog has had a super overclock going.
Today is his first day on a more sensible dosage. I will update later.

Technically I over clocked my wife too, she started up hormone thing a few years ago. Her over clock is more stable now.

That is all. Picture of pooch can be posted later if anyone is interested
Picture of wife will not be posted so don’t ask.

Depending on the dog you might just need better cooling

He has been panting a lot.

You've been running him with passive cooling? Please tell me you at least ziptied some fans on and applied peanutbutter to improve thermal transfer...

Finally coming out from closet same-sex bestiality?

Lots of water cooling and panting cooling.
He has been drinking a shit ton of water.

We have an addison's dog. Her first dose was 0.33 Ml, and we have titrated her down to 0.2 Ml.
This was done over several months and with a blood test every 6 months or so.
She also gets a percortin shot every 23 days. That is at 0.6 Ml.
When we started with the vet's .33 dose, she was drinking and peeing and revved up. Now she is doing much better and stable at the lower dose.
We also have a veterinarian roommate who helped us with the process.
We used to take her to the vet for those shots, but he took care of the prescription and probably gives her 80% of her percortin injections.
This is what happens when you let her water dish go empty when camping.
Pardon Me!

She is blind now, due to early cataracts that really grow fast with the steroid treatment. She only had one good eye and the specialist gave her only a 50% good outcome if we did surgery. The downside of the failed surgery is pain. She is a great blind dog she DGAF, if you leave shoes out like that picture above now she will stumble over them then turn back and growl or bite one, so we keep her paths pretty regular now. She will still play a bit.

Cute pooch.
My Boys new Vet kept him on the larger injection for now. She said it is better to go a few months at the big dose post an Addisons crisis episode then lower it to what his normal amount his body would produce. He had a normal blood test last month except something was high but that was due to the extra steroid. He will have blood work done again in either November or December depending on how well he takes this. Sounds like she is aiming for a reduction after this blood work.
It was the daily Prednisone she thought was a really big dosage.
I handled the injection at the vet this time, I can handle needles easily. I like the idea of being able to do it at home because:
Its sort of stupid to have them do it even if it is effectively a free service
Just in case we are away from home and there is another crisis I want to be prepared to do it
Why stress the pooch out when it can be done at home easily

Pretty sure his dosage for the injectable (28 day thing) was 1ml which the vet is confident will go down but the animal hospital didn’t note down what dosage they gave him so she went with what the manufacturer recommended.
I like this new vet she explains stuff well.

Thank you for sharing your info

you are welcome. That addison's crisis is a scary event. if my wife had not been home we would have lost her.
She was wobbly, then puked on the bed and nosed over right into it. She was out. Wife shook her back awake and she was at the vet's overnight.

Air conditioner would be better.

You probably live in Colorado, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, or South Dakota.

Cool doggos! How do they bench? At what voltage are you running?

 

[skyking]

Dawwwww!

Kate goes pretty hard for a while, but she has a limited duty cycle.

 

[MrSquished]

Air cooled or water cooling?

 

[skyking]

cool with solution.

Just make sure you're not using a Gigabyte power supply, they tend to explode which might startle the dog and cause unplanned poop.

That is a bad sign with Addison’s disease. I will stick with Seasonic units.

My boy is much more normal this morning. He is doing his normal thing and being lazy. No urgent need to go outside.

Until yesterday he was running at max safe OC 1.45 volts

Left handed high 5 brother. Glad you are getting it under control.
