I have been seeing this recently with Dillon. Along with a couple
of other very subtle things, I think he is probably exhibiting
adrenal symptoms again. He had his left removed in November of 2000.
He pins someone down and chomps down on their neck and I have to pry
his jaws open. He has also gone into grooming mode with several
ferrets and me.
Other symptoms: dribbling when urinating and some shaved fur that
has not grown back in nearly 5 months.
