Yep. Exactly. Symptoms vary a great deal.
We DID have one with massive and sudden fur loss: Ashling who wound
up losing both adrenals two Summers back, who now thrives on Florinef
and Pred, and who took over a year to grow back fur.
There's no set place for the hair loss to begin/occur nor do they
always have multiple symptoms. Penny had her left and 3/4's of her
right adrenal out. Prior to this she had hair loss on her rump but
no swollen vulva whatsoever. Spaz had his left taken out after his
hair loss started on his shoulders and progressed down his back. He
was somewhat itchy. Beasley started with hair loss on the tops of his
feet and eventually progressed to general thinning down his back.
Beasley was put on Lupron. None exhibited behavior changes of any
kind.
But, none of them went from a full coat of hair to major hair loss in
a short period of time.
