Patricia, 
 
In all my reading on Addison's I have not heard of Slippery Elm being
used.  Many other herbs are recommended such as Echinacea, milk
thistle and Siberian ginseng.  Therefore you may want to ask this
person who told you this. 
 
  or is there something better? 
 
I have begun writing an article on Addition's which is still not
completed and somewhat mixed up, however, I will be happy to send this
information.

Below the article, I will send you a diet that will help put on
weight.  This is a homemade diet which is extremely important at
this time. 
 
- even on the regular food 
>his stools seemed large. 
 
This is because he is not utilizing the ingredients in the food. 
If  pet is properly utilizing the nutrients in the food, he should
only be having one stool daily. 
 
Here is the article,

Cushing/Additions Disease 
by Darleen Rudnick, Pet Nutritionist 
 
</div>
Cushing's syndrome is a rare disorder caused by an overactive adrenal
cortex. The adrenal glands are a pair of triangular-shaped organs that
rest on top of the kidneys. Each gland normally weighs about 5 grams
(slightly less that 1/5 ounce) and is made up of two parts: the cortex,
or outer section, which is responsible for the production of cortisone;
and the medulla, or central section, which secretes adrenaline. 
 
Reduced adrenal function may be indicated by the following: 
 
weakness 
lethargy 
dizziness 
headaches 
memory problems 
food craving 
allergies 
blood sugar disorders 
 
If the adrenal cortex is seriously under active, a rate condition called
Addison's disease may develop. Symptoms include fatigue, loss of
appetite, dizziness or fainting, nausea, moodiness, a decrease in the
amount of body hair and an inability to cope with stress. 
My recommendations for treating Cushing's is as follows: 
 
I would recommend: 
 
Vitamin B Complex -- important for adrenal function. 
Vitamin C 
All the Amino Acids 
Chlorophyll 
Coenzyme Q10 
Beta carotene 
Copper 
Potassium 
Zinc 
 
I DO NOT recommend getting a jar of each. I usually recommend finding 1
or 2 vitamin supplements that contain the above. 
 
The vitamins I recommend are:

Stress & Adrenal Support
<a href="http://www.purelypets.com/" eudora="autourl">www.purelypets.com 
 
</a>A herbal remedy that works together to restore integrity to the
adrenal glands and promotes a greater sense of energy and stamina, while
building up the body's response to stress. These herbs are also
nutritive and tonic to the adrenal glands as well as to nerve cells and
tissues. 
 
Beneficial in treating Cushing's Disease. Also in pets who have low
vitality, anemia, low blood pressure, anxiety, strain and low energy.
There herbs reduce the stress on a body constantly exposed to excessive
physical and/or emotional strain.

However, each case is looked at on an individual basis, so I would NOT
recommend ordering these products randomly. I provide free consultation
and highly recommend one before purchasing any products. 
 
Diet Recommendations: 
 
Whether you make your own
homemade food or simply add fresh ingredients to a commercial food, it is
important that your pet's diet include raw ingredients that provide the
energy inherent only in fresh foods. Just imagine if your diet consisted
primarily of canned or dried food. The processing necessary for either
canning or drying removes the life force, it's all dead, cooked, and
processed. You would feel the difference in your body if you never had
fresh, raw vegetables or fruits. 
 
There are many advantages to feeding a homemade diet. Health and
longevity are increased; there is resistance to disease; and the diet can
be tailored to individual needs. Other benefits are: animals are able to
digest and utilize a homemade diet; and the stool volume is less; fleas,
ticks and worms are almost unheard of for a pet on a homemade diet; skin,
ear and eye problems are rare; overall vitality and energy are unequaled;
and animals love to eat it. 
 
Start off slowly if you have never fed a homemade diet. For example, a
small pet under 14 lbs., 1 tablespoon of fresh meat, 1 tablespoon of rice
or other grains, and 1 tablespoon of vegetables mixed together. For a
larger pet, 3 to 4 tablespoons. Observe for diarrhea or vomiting. If
you notice any, cut back. Increase the food if the pet does well. 
 
Special Notes: Diarrhea and vomiting are normal when you switch
too quickly to another food. 
 
Watch for food allergies. Symptoms are: itchy skin, biting at skin and
feet, rubbing face, diarrhea, vomiting and any other abnormal behavior.
If you suspect a food allergy, please call us immediately.
