There is NO set rule for fur re-growth. Some have regrown fur
with adrenal growths, some have regrown fur rapidly without
them. Others -- like our Ashling -- have gone as long as a year
and a half before regrowing fur even though they were then clean
of neoplasia. (Ex: Ashling's were well encapsulated, both came
out and there was no atopic adrenal tissue; the fur just took
forever to grow back in her but then almost all did come back.)
Some never re-grow fur because the follicles have died. No set
rule at all...
