Even though there's no hair loss, I would still lean towards adrenal
disease as a cause. They don't always have hair loss. I recall one
in our shelter that constantly attempted mating with his blanket. He
even had adrenal surgery which revealed no enlarged gland (and I
believe nothing was removed). As best I can remember, Lupron was
used and that brought an end to his mating urges.
