FYI – Addison disease in Bull Terriers

Not a question, but rather a FYI. Addison disease. My Bullie was diagnosed with Addison’s too late. You can look up all the symptoms on google, but our sign was loss of appetite, excessive sleeping, weakness in the legs, and dragging the toes. Our bullie was diagnosed too late because Addison’s is rare but popping up at a higher rate in dogs. It is genetics meaning it is the breed lines. Testing requires a blood test. Most vets will not know to look into it because of its rarity. Hope this helps someone and saves a bullie or any dog in the future.
