As I recall, with Penny, I just called and scheduled the surgery when
I began to see the typical hair loss caused by adrenal disease. Of
course my vet did full bloodwork and an exam before the surgery, and
if she didn't agree she would have let me know, but when she saw
Penny, there was no doubt this is what it was and the surgery was
done.
