Hi, James,

I hope you have already taken Dolly to the vet. These are classic
symptoms of adrenal disease. Dolly needs to see a vet to determine if
she really has adrenal disease or if something else is involved. The
good news is that if it is adrenal disease it is almost always curable
by surgery.

Good luck to you and to Dolly.

All the best,
Caity and the non-stop nine
