Definitely have your vet check his blood glucose when you take him
in. It sounds a bit like hypoglycemia, though perhaps not. In the
meantime, make sure he's eating well and not missing any meals. It's
also possible that his prostate is enlarged due to the adrenal
disease and he's trying to go but can't. Have you seen him pee
successfully? If he can't urinate, it can be real serious and if
this is the case, you need to get him into a vet right away.
