Article Synopsis
- Addison's disease in cats is extremely rare, with only about 40 cases recorded since 1983, making it a significant clinical challenge.
- Unlike dogs, where hypoadrenocorticism is well understood, diagnosing the condition in cats is difficult due to variable symptoms and the tendency for treatment with corticosteroids to mask the diagnosis.
- Diagnosis requires an ACTH stimulation test, and while treatment is similar to that for dogs involving corticosteroids, the only available mineralocorticoid for cats hasn't been thoroughly tested for safety.
