This is my male Boxer, Cooper. He almost died recently, and I learned he has Addison's Disease. His adrenal glands are completely shot, and he will have to take a monthly injection of Percortin, which I've learned to give, for the rest of his life. I'm very thankful to my veterinarian who diagnosed him in 2 days --- from my research, Addison's is very difficult to diagnose. Cooper is a "snuggler", and on this particular night, he just wanted to be held. I know that feeling . . . wanting to be held by your mom when you're feeling bad . . . I still get it and sure wish my mom was around for me to crawl up into her lap and be held. So glad I still have the memories.
