Addison's Disease in Dogs
This is the name given to an under active adrenal cortex which
is the outer part of the adrenal gland. The adrenal gland fails
to produce enough natural cortisone. Over use of prednisone or other
steroid therapies or excessive vaccinations have been blamed for
this problem but the exact causes are unknown.
This problem is irreversible but given the correct diet and associated
nutrients the degeneration can be slowed considerable.
Herbisone is a must for this problem by stimulating the pituitary
gland into directing the adrenal gland to produce more natural cortisone.
