My 2 Year Old Female Rottie Has Addison’s Disease and the Cost of Treatment Is Sky High…?

Question by rebelslittle1: My 2 year old female Rottie has addison’s disease and the cost of treatment is sky high…?
I’m a college student and my female rottie was recently diagnosed with addison’s disease. I brought her into the vet becuase she was acting extremely lathargic, not eating, vomitting, etc. 4 days and 00 later I had her home. My parents helped me out a great deal, but the monthly cost to treat her is over 0 a month for the rest of her life. Roughly 00 a year. I can’t stand the thought of “giving her away” (I’m her second home as it is – I’ve had her for a year) and “putting her down” makes makes me want to cry. I can’t afford the treatments, my parents have already done more then they should have, and if she goes off the monthly injection of Percorten-V (0 a month) she will die a very slow and cruel death. I’ve already looked online for the drug, but I can’t find it any lower then 0. Can anybody give me any suggestions? I really don’t want to put her to sleep, but I can’t let her suffer either… Please help.

Perhaps you could work out an arrangement with the vet clinic to volunteer there in return for reduced costs for her care?

Good luck..I hope it works out.
