Signs and symptoms of Addison’s disease

Addison’s disease is relatively rare but the symptoms are similar to more common diseases. The symptoms are often vague and wax and wane over a period of time leading to diagnosis being difficult.

The more noticeable signs of Addison’s disease are:

  • Loss of appetite
  • Lethargy
  • Weakness
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhoea
  • Weight loss
  • Shivering, tremors and or muscle stiffness
  • Depression
  • Dehydration

Not all dogs will react to the disease in the same way and your dog may not necessarily display all of these signs.
