Remember : Cookie's Hairloss has started a month ago... =
First, little spot on the head... =
Next, 2 symetric spots on the abdomen (1/2" each side) =
After, less hair on feet... =
Spots on each shoulders...
And this Monday (morning)this round spot on his right =
flank of his body with little hair. =
Monday(evening)hairs are falling again, and I can see the skin. =
There is no hair in the middle of the spot (size : like a dime). =
I can also see little red spots on the skin, maybe it's because he's scratc=
hing a lot (with claws and teeth)... =
I have also think of a skin disease... but what ?
=
If this pattern makes you think of another disease than Adrenal, tell me...=
=
Could you tell me what you're thinking about that too ???
My vet has called yesterday (tuesday), and I have new things to tell her...=
Cookie's hairs are growing back again on the abdomen, feet, shoulders, no m=
ore spot on the head. There is only now the bare spot on his right flank. H=
e was scratching a lot there so I put : Hydrogen Peroxyde 50% +warm water 5=
0%.... He stops scratching, and no more red spots on the skin. My vet told=
me that hairs don't grow back so fast with Adrenal Disease and most of the=
time don't grow back at all... She has also asked me if something has chan=
ged in Cookie'life....I remember a month ago, when Cookie has started hair =
loss, spot on the head (first),the abdomen after.... That fits with his fir=
st playtime in plant soil.... So, he has been playing in a bag of black soi=
l since a month (wants everyday, but not that much) and he's loosing hairs =
in spots, since a month too... My vet told me to bath him, that maybe some =
parasites in/on his skin ! We still wait to see and after 3 weeks, if it's =
the same...and Adrenal Disease symptoms are really clear....do the surgery.=
=
Today, wednesday(afternoon), no hair loss...no scratching...
hairs are still growing everywhere except on the bare spot...
I will appreciate comments...
Thanks again for your time and caring...
Linda and Cookie
