It is important to get as much information during initial triage of a collapsed animal as possible. Some differentials include anaphylaxis, [[HGE]], [[Canine Parvovirus|Parvo]], [[Arrhythmias Overview|arrhythmias]], [[Pericardial Effusion|pericardial effusion]], any cause of [[hyperkalaemia]],[[Haemoabdomen| hemoabdomen]]. [[AFAST]] ultrasound exam can be used to investigate anaphylaxis (gall bladder edema), pericardial effusion, and hemoabdomen. [[ECG]] can evaluate for heart block and bradycardias as well as typical hyperkalemia induced changes (prolonged S-T interval, enlarged T waves). [[Electrolytes]], [[PCV]], blood gas, lactate can all help with initial work up and diagnosis.

The classic Addisonian is ~ 3 years old and as such anaphylaxis and HGE are the most common differentials.  Differentiating anaphylaxis from Addison's early on is critical to saving these patients.
