The Addisonian in Crisis: The First Few Hours
Wednesday, October 1, 2025, 2000 - 2200
Webinar Description:
Recognizing Addison’s disease in dogs requires a careful and methodical approach because its signs mimic many other conditions. This webinar will guide participants through the clinical features of Addisonian crisis, highlighting diagnostic markers and physical findings. We’ll cover essential emergency care, definitive testing methods, and the best practices for starting steroid and mineralocorticoid therapy to support long-term recovery.
Webinar Agenda:
Welcome & introduction
Refresher on adrenal pathophysiology
Typical patient profile and history clues
Physical exam signs of Addisonian crisis
Laboratory and diagnostic markers
Emergency care steps
Effective fluid therapy approaches
Managing potassium imbalance (hyperkalemia)
Dextrose administration guidelines
Stabilizing blood pressure effectively
Confirmatory testing strategies
Starting steroid-based treatments
Glucocorticoid therapy options
DOCP and mineralocorticoid support

Agenda
The webinar on Addison’s disease in dogs will begin with an introduction and a brief reminder of the underlying pathophysiology before moving into the typical signalment and historical patterns that help guide suspicion of hypoadrenocorticism. It will then highlight the most common physical examination findings, along with key laboratory and diagnostic indicators seen in Addisonian crisis cases. From there, the focus will shift to initial management strategies, including fluid therapy, targeted treatment for hyperkalemia, the role of dextrose support, and blood pressure stabilization. The session will also cover confirmatory testing methods and outline the steps for initiating steroid therapy, with detailed discussion of both glucocorticoid replacement and mineralocorticoid supplementation using DOCP to ensure proper long-term management.
