Hi, Mandy is a 7 year old that was diagnosed last May with adrenal cancer. She exhibited all the symptoms, balding, swollen vulva, etc. The vet said because of her age and bad heart we should do nothing but give her a lot of love and let time take its course. At the same time Buster our 5 year old male went in for his check up and had lots of tumors in his body. What a shock to get 2 sets of bad news in a period of 10 minutes. Anyway, last December we lost Buster and felt lost for awhile. All we did for Mandy was give her chicken soup on demand and lots of cuddling and made some sweaters for her bald body. Last month we noticed that she started to get fuzzy. She got all her fur back and its real soft, like baby fur and there is no more swelling. My vet is stumped and very happy. We are hoping that somehow she's in remission and was hoping somebody out there can explain what's going on. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Kathie and Mandy
