I know it is possible for a dog to have epilepsy as we had an Irish Setter in the family who suffered from epileptic seizures. Research symptoms ask your vet. I'd bet my life that this is what is wrong with your dog. Good luck! In my opinion your dog is an epileptic.

I have starred this for some of my contacts, who are veterinarians, or more experienced with unusual maladies Please leave your question open for a couple of days, to give them time to respond, if they can be of help.

The more serious type of Addison is called Addisonian Crisis due to lack of corticosteroids can be life threatening and dog which suffer from this disease will be shaking, vomiting, shivering, dehydrated, pounding heart and collapse, dog must be fed with glucose and corticosteroids. Anyway Addison disease is caused by underactive adrenal gland. My advise is, bring your dog to seek for second opinion from another vet. Good Luck and take good care of your dog!

This is decidedly NOT typical for addisons Assisonian dogs CAN have hypoglycemia but to be that affected and still EAT would not be common. There is a form of addison's (usually called atypical addisons that only has a failure to make cortisol but still making the other adrenal hormone aldostrone, that would eliminate some of the comon symptoms but this still seems strange. is a website with the most info that I know of. Edit: whoa doggies! she's eating drinking MORE! it could be cushings! the opposite of addisons an OVER active adrenal. Many of the symptoms are often similar and one can be mistaken for the other. Fortunatally the ACTH test would test for both diseases. a cushings website: I’m no vet but I own an addison’s dog.
