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.

Depakote (divalproex sodium) is not commonly associated with bleeding disorders, but it can affect platelet function and lead to thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) in some individuals. This side effect may increase the risk of bleeding. Patients taking Depakote should be monitored for any signs of unusual bleeding or bruising, and healthcare providers should evaluate blood counts regularly. If you have concerns about this medication, consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

First of all, you should never crush pills and smoke them in any way. That could cause respiratory failure and Depakote is a very strong medication. I've been taking it for ten years and you CANNOT get high from taking Depakote wether you take it by mouth or however else you intend to do it.
Normal range is from 50 - 100 but it can go up to 125 without any worry. Anything past 125 is cause for worry. This is where you need to worry about being depakote toxic.

Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is generally considered a pain reliever that does not interfere with Depakote (valproate).

However, it's always best to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication.
