My little girl Sassy had adrenal surgery in August. She's not quite two and her symptoms came on very quickly. Her vulva was huge and she had a large hair loss in just a couple of weeks.
she had the left gland removed and the right was frozen although it didn't look problematic at the time of surgery. She never seemed to feel sick and bounced right back from the surgery. She's re-grown some of the hair on her lower back near the tail but the hair on her neck, chest and behind her ears is still very thin or not there at all. Her vulva is still swollen. Is it too soon to expect the hair to be re-grown and the vulva to be getting back to normal size? I'm going to see the vet that did the surgery tomorrow and I'm planning on asking about Sassy then but I'd like some opinions from here as well.
Thanks
