Does anyone have any knowledge or experience on this condition known as Addison's Disease. Is it genetic from both mom and dad, or is it a congenital disease? Can a male puppy in a weeks time develop signs and symptoms or can it be misdiagnosed due to the dog having giardia? I read it generally happens to female dogs after 4 is this true? Never heard of this condition and my friends breeder is away her vet thinks the male puppy has this but the puppy wasn't really even sick... thank you!!
