So after getting neutered over two weeks ago Recon hasn’t been the same and seems to have been progressively worse. Two days ago he stops eating and starts vomiting so I take him to the vet yesterday and they check him out. They say that it’s not too uncommon considering his age (3yrs) and the fact they had to go in and cut them out since they never dropped.

Last night we get home and his back legs are shaking a lot and just will not eat anything. I gave him his pain killer and that knocks him out when I go to bed at 2AM he can barely walk his rear legs seem to be asleep so I pick him up and put him in bed. When we got up at 8AM he just flat out couldn’t walk at all. So I rushed him to the vet and they did some blood work.

Apparently Recon has Addison’s Disease and was in the middle of what’s called an Addisonion Crisis where his body had basically started to shut down. Thanks to the Vet it looks like he’ll pull out of it but will remain on medication for the rest of his life. As of around 4:30PM he was showing marked improvement.

Just got a call at 10PM and the doc says he’s improved a little but is having issues getting is blood sugar under control and now has him in insulin. The doctor is thinking he may also be diabetic on top of having Addisons Disease.

So yeah a pretty shit day so far.

Dear Recon,

Feel better soon.
