Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If there is evidence of lethargy in a dog with a history of Addisons disease, it is always best to make sure that there is nothing to worry about in terms of disease control. It is possible that this is nothing to worry about. However, given the possibility of this being related to the Addisons disease history, I recommend that if this continues, you have Bonnie evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Best of luck!
