i've just joined this list again so I missed the original
post........but yes yes yes!! I second what Lisa says. Yoda had a
blockage due to an enlarged prostate gland and the real culprit of
course was the adrenal tumor. I had waited another season thinking
perhaps his hair loss was somethign benign. Not only did it cost me
my ferret as his tumor was too advanced to remove (it was on the right
side as well as left) but he went through hell with that blocked
urethra.....emergency vet..... catherization..... etc. and it cost
me tons more than it would if I had just had the adrenal tumor removed
much earlier. Never wait to get it checked out. I learned this fact
the hard way and I've spent the past few months trying to forgive
myself for letting Yoda down..
