Please Help Me!!!!!

Hi,

I've just been a bit concerened about my dog lately and wondered if anyone can help me.

I keep in contact with the breeder i got her from,  a while ago, i was told that  one of my dog's siblings had addisons disesase.  Over the past few weeks, i've noticed my dog usually seems really tired, i've taken her on walks and she stops to pee on almost every spot of grass we go past (not sure if thats a symptom- just thought i should mention it). I took her on a walk a couple of days ago, when i threw the ball she ran over to it, like normal,  but then she just lied down next to it, and wouldn't bring it back.

A few weeks ago, she was shivering, which seemed wierd as she's a bearded collie and has that huge coat to keep warm, i get cold easily but at this time i was fine, i would have thought for her to be shivering, i would have to be as well.

 
I'm not sure if she has lost her appitite though, she has never really eaten that much. There's no noticable weight loss, but she does have a thick coat, which could be hiding that. She's never collapsed and there is no diarrhoea or vomiting. I'm not sure if she could just be feeling a bit unwell and i'm over-reacting, or if i should take her to the vet.

Please help me!!!!!!!!!!

I am no vet, but I would take your dog to the vet if you are concerned.  Try calling your Vet and speaking to someone.

The peeing on every open inch of grass sounds normal.  My dog often, when we are in a new place, finds that she must pee everywhere to mark her sent.  it's crazy.  also about the running to the ball and not bringing it back.  my dog does that alot while we play, so it doesn't sound too out of the ordinary.  

if you are worried I say call the vet.  what does it hurt to be a bit cautious.

do your research on addisons disease, google it, call your vet and talk to

them about the sibbling having it. What did your breeder say about it?
