I see you mentioned Addison's disease, was she given any fluids at the vet's?

"Addisons disease dog symptoms cause a dog to appear weak and lethargic. Vomiting and diarrhea are common. Other symptoms include reduced appetite, tremors, shaking, muscle weakness and pain in the hind quarters."

Again I am sorry if you reviewed this already. Praying for you both for a good night.
My guess is that her electrolytes are out of whack which could be due to Addisons disease .. Addisonian crisis could happen suddenly. The potassium and sodium are out of whack and that affects the heart. Just a guess as to why he is thinking Addisons. Something must have shown on the labs to lead to that as a possible diagnosis.
I hope they know soon what is causing this! Pretty scary stuff.
