hello my name is Jenny, i haven`t written in a while, our new baby Simon has been great, very healthy, very playful, (very large) 3 pounds and a month shy of a year old.
my question is a couple of day`s now i`ve noticed that his tail is getting thin, and when i touch it the hair just comes out in clumps, litterly!
now we went through the adrenal problems with our 2 other babies Kramer and Hoover, sadley they both have passed on to the bridge, where i`m sure their jumping and playing again like they were babies again.
i do have a vet apt on tuesday morning, but i would like to get some input from all of you as what this could be, is it likely to be an adrenal gland at such a young age?
and the hair loss is only on his tail, the rest of his body is just as fluffy and soft as it always was.
thanks
Jenny,Chris,Simon
