Hi my dog has really recently been diagnosed with addisons disease. After having a Crisis last week and being stabilised in hospital. We had the test and it was confirmed. He is full of steroids obviously. He had his first treatment on monday injection followed by the daily pill. It is his second day now.. I know it is normal for him to drink alot and go to the toilet with the steroids in his system. But he is drinking so much and goes to toilet once an hour all night all day. Is this expected?

That is expected with a high dose of steroids, however if it is a concerning amount I would let your vet know. They may want to adjust his steroid dosage, or otherwise monitor his side effects from it to see if additional treatment or changes need to be made.
