When Loki had his first adrenal out a few months ago his right looked perfectly healthy. He hadn't experienced any hair loss then, nor itching. A few weeks back his hair started to thin in the typical adrenal disease way. Yikes, it is coming out fast. My vet recommended the TN panel but with all this hair loss and major itching and his prior history, isn't it safe to assume it is his other gland? Should surgery just be scheduled? People have referred to the hair loss as gradual -I can see more skin with each passing day. For now I would like to give something for the itching. Is there a standard benedryl dose? He is about about 3 pounds.
