Please tell that to Pertwee who started showing symptoms around his
first birthday. He had both adrenal glands out before he was two. Ker
Avon also had adrenal at about a year and a half old. Fortunately his
never recurred.

I agree, though, that in this case it doesn't sound like adrenal. OTOH,
Pertwee's hair loss started on the tail. IMHO, you need to keep
watching to see if any other symptoms or more generalized hair loss
appears.

I am not a vet.

Caity and the non-stop nine
