Thank you ever so much for the links -- super helpful! So too your suggestion for our vet to perhaps consider a consultation with one of the teaching schools. I will definitely discuss with her at our next appointment. Part of the difficulty we have been facing (in addition to having to treat...

Thank you very much for your response and the article which I've found very helpful. I will discuss with our vet when she's due to see my cat again next week. We've already been to several other veterinary practices but none of their vets have had any experience with Addison's. I appreciate how...

I have a 3.5 year old atypical Addisonian male cat currently weighing about 4.3 kg. He's on a daily dose of 4.8 mg Prednisolone, and two 0.1 mg Florinef pills a day. Although he did well in the initial period of the current dosing protocol, he's not been top notch of late (growing weaker...

Thank you very much for your detailed and informative response. I actually had to take my cat back to the vet on Friday after his condition seemed to deteriorate further. You were spot on with your suggestion about re-testing his sodium and potassium levels. Both were within normal range, and...

Hello friends, my cat has been diagnosed with atypical Addison's disease following an ACTH test. His potassium and sodium levels are within normal range (based on latest blood test, as well as multiple blood tests taken over the course of the past two years prior to the Addison's diagnosis)...

Thank you very much for responding. The cardboard scratchers sound like a good idea. And replacing the sisal with carpeting is worth trying. I would feel bad if I were to get rid of the scratching tree entirely, as my cat loves to perch himself on top and keep a watchful eye on us all.

Thank you for taking the time to respond. For a minute or two, I thought I had the answer to my question, only to realise that his allergy test is also showing allergens towards cotton (with an allergen result of 127 -- lower than what he registered for sisal, 200, but still...). To be honest, I...

An allergy blood test has shown that my cat is allergic to sisal (allergen level result at 200). His vet has urged removal of the cat scratching tree. I wonder if anyone has had a similar case or if there are any suggestions on what to replace the scratching tree with. Thank you.

Thank you! -- this seems to confirm that my cat's levels are at the very low end... I wonder if anyone has advice on whether this necessitates moving forward with his neutering irrespective of his high ALT levels.

Hello friends, I have a 2.5 year old male Scottish Fold who has been diagnosed with congenital adrenal hyperplasia. His vet had until recently refused to neuter him due to consistently high ALT levels. However, in diagnosing his adrenal hyperplasia, his T4 and testosterone levels were tested...
