Prescription is the only effective way to treat this disease. This Sammie lived to be 17, almost unheard of in a large doggie, and I attribute the prescription she was on for the Addison's to the added longevity. She had gotten into some snail bait in the garden and that is what caused the condition. Just go with the rx, this is one of those things that cannot be treated any other way. You'll be glad if you do. Katie. Hi Mary - I had a Sammie who had Addison’s, which is actually the same as Addison’s in humans. Prescription is the only effective way to treat this disease.

I am a strong advocate of 'natural' health care - where appropriate - but there are times when veterinary medicine must be turned to and from what I can see, this is one of them. I will see what I can find on any kind of <em>complimentary</em> therapy that possibly can assist the treatment. Wish I could offer you more but I will need some time to properly research this and speak with medical professionals trained in alternative medicines.
