About 3 weeks ago my 4 yr. old male Siberian Husky collapsed. He wouldn't(couldn't) get up. It seemed to be his hind end. He also wouldn't eat. I called my vet who is a friend of mine and rushed him to her. She kept him for 2 days and did bloodwork. She originally thought it was Addisons disease, since his symptoms mimicked those of Addisons. She gave him a steroid shot and said to take him home, keep him inside and just watch his behavior and see what happens. She said that if it were Addisons that he would "crash" again. She had wanted to do bloodwork again after the steriods were out of his symptoms, and we were going to do it today, but about 4 days ago he made a complete turn around. He is eating good, hyper, getting into stuff, trying to climb on the furniture. I called her and she said that knowing this we can rule out Addisons, and she thinks that is was a mild heat stroke, due the the temp. being high this month. Anyone else had a dog do anything like this.?
