Yes, dogs can get addisons but it isn't common. It is usually caused by atrophy of the adrenal glands. Usually in middle aged female dogs. Signs of addisons include weight loss, drinking and peeing more and muscle weakness. You must take your dog to the vet to get addisons diagnosed. It can be hard to diagnose as looks like many other diseases. They may do a ACTH stimulation test where they take a blood sample, then dose with ACTH then take another blood sample and see if there is any change in hormone levels. Once addisons is diagnosed, it can be treated with a drug called "Florinef" which contains fludrocortisone acetate.
