Thank you for submitting your question regarding Darla. Is she taking new medication to help manage her disease? If so, you will need to contact her veterinarian to discuss her dosing and if any laboratory work needs to be rechecked. Medication typically works by suppressing adrenal gland function. The symptoms you have described can be the result of over suppression. If she is not on medication for her disease, her symptoms are still worrisome. You will need to contact her veterinarian today. I hope this information helps!
