Hi, Mike, that's been our usual experience, but Ashling was the exception. She actually lost ALL the fur fromher rump in about one or two weeks. When they went in she had neoplasia in both adrenal glands, both of which were also well encapsulated, so she lost both and has been on Florinef and Pred in the about 2 years since. Fur regrowth was another matter; she went through two shed sasons before she finally regrew it.
