Mankhwala: Pills/Tablets & Injections
Dogs with Addison’s need daily medication to live. These organizers help us know the day’s dose has been given.
Pred is normally given once per day with breakfast.
Florinef or fludrocortisone is normally given twice per day – with breakfast & dinner.
Sometimes we need to cut tablets in halves or quarters. Click on the teal link or the photo to view these products:
Weekly pill organizers and pill cutters
Our dogs love to take their medication in treats! You can use half a pill pocket to put tablets in. Leave part of the pill exposed so it gets into your dog’s system faster. Click on the teal link or photo to view these products:

Many of us give our dogs injections at home. It is recommended to use one needle to draw the medication & another to inject. Needles & syringes should NOT be reused. We also recommend Luer Lock rather than Luer Slip syringes. With Luer Lock, you screw the needle onto the syringe, so the needle stays connected to the syringe even if your dog moves. With Luer Slip, you slip it on, which means it can easily slip off if your dog moves while you’re giving the injection. We’ve heard of this happening on more than occasion. Members of our Facebook group routinely ask for suggestions for syringes & needles. Here you go!
1 ml syringes would be for dog’s whose dose is 1 ml or less. These purposely come with no needle. Look for the needle selection as well. Mwatsoka, it is cheaper to buy boxes of 100 than to buy smaller quantities! It’s also difficult to find sterile syringes for medical use in smaller quantities.
3 ml syringes would be for dogs whose dose is more than 1 ml or up to 3 mlingo wochepa wa protocol. These are too big for most dogs who are on low dose Percorten or Zycortal. It would be rare to need between 3 & 5 mlingo wochepa wa protocol. If you have a super large dog and haven’t transitioned to the low dose approach yet, you may need 5 ml syringes. If you don’t know about the low dose approach, ask in our Facebook group! These purposely come with no needle. Look for the needle selection as well.
Best practices suggest drawing the medication with a sterile needle and then switching to a new sterile needle to inject the medication. This is because the needle gets dulled when pushing it through the stopper of the vial and it could hurt a little if you used the dulled needle rather than a new sharp one. We suggest a 22 gauge needle due to the thickness of Percorten and Zycortal. M'munsimu, you can choose between 3/4 inch and 1 inch needles. We also suggest alcohol pads to wipe the top of a used vial before and after the injection. This is to cut down on any possibility of contamination of the vial.
When first diagnosed, medication doses are high and can cause incontinence. This will go away when you ask your vet for reductions. Ask us about this in the Facebook group! There’s so much we can tell you! These products may help until you get the doses lowered. Click on the teal links or photos:

Also, when first diagnosed, medication doses are high and can cause excessive drinking and hunhger. This will go away when you ask your vet for reductions. Ask us about this in the Facebook group!

Once on the proper doses of medication, our dogs don’t normally experience anxiety any differently from before they were diagnosed. If they seem unusually anxious to you, ask about this in our Facebook group! It may be that you need to work with your veterinarian to adjust the medication doses. We can explain what to ask your vet. These products may help until you get things adjusted properly. Click on the teal link or photo:

Wait, dogs with Addison’s can do agility and other dog sports? YES!!!! Of course they can! Once our dogs recover from the initial crisis and have their doses of medications optimized, they can do anything any other dog can do – with the exception of breeding, of course!
