Perhaps the daily IV fluids are masking all the other symptoms. Dogs who have Addisons do respond to IV fluids and do better when getting them. If Cody wasn't getting the fluids daily what would his symptoms be?

There are specific tests that can be done to determine Addisons. Has the vet performed them?
